Be serious during the semester, avoid the wrong friend circle, and do hard work
Placements: 30-35 percent of students got placed in the last session. The highest package is 1.14 LPA but it is an off-campus placement. The top 5 students got packages like 40 LPA, 28 LPA, 12 LPA, and 17 LPA. The rest of them landed packages around 4 LPA- 7 LPA. IBM, Wipro, Infosys, Microsoft, and Adobe. 10 percent of students got internship from my course. Top roles offered are Associate, Software Developer, and Full Stack Developer.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is provided only in labs. Only in the first year you get AC in the lecture hall, then you will be shifted to non-AC floors. All labs are equipped with AC. The library is quite impressive if you want to prepare for GATE and CDS-like examinations, all the resources are available. Along with that, all the books that are required during the whole Semester will be available easily at no cost. Talking about hostel, there are 4 boys' hostels and 1 girls' hostel (Really too big). I will recommend the Shantikunj two-seater room.
Faculty: In the first year, teachers are really helpful. They provide you with all the necessary resources but from the second year you will not get all the resources like notes from teachers, you have to arrange them yourself. Don't expect that professors will come and teach you wholeheartedly. If you are really serious, then you will score quite well, but if you are not, you will end up scoring 5-6 CGPA or below. If you start to study even one week before, you will get enough idea to score 7-8 CGPA easily.
Other: Flexibility as the college will provide you with enough opportunities like regular hackathons, events, and platforms, and different clubs on campus which will really help you if you are serious about placements. I think there must be a good management system like if one student is too active, then only they get more exposure, like they handle club, they are a coordinator, or they are in sports. There is no push from professors or mentors that they will say yoy to join this, or you have to choose a good friend circle for yourself and actively participate in activities.
