Good infrastructure along with good faculty.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant and more industry-ready, with practical lab activities and presentation skills. The average is a difficult level of exams, and the pass percentage is less 40% of the total marks. Good faculty along with knowledge of the subjects.

No study facilities or placements are provided.

Faculty: The teaching quality is nice. The course curriculum is relevant, but maybe it does not make students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult. Teaching facilities depend upon faculty, and almost all of them are good. A few faculty members do not provide a clear explanation. At last, we have to study from YouTube or PPTs. In internal exams, they give low marks. The study way is like they send PPTs, and we have to study.

Good like average events, faculty members, infrastructure, and atmosphere behind.

Faculty: The faculty members are above average and good. Teachers are good, helpful, and up to the mark, but not as good as we expect, but okayish. It makes students industry-ready by the 4th year, and it also depends on the students. We can pass the semester exam easily if we maintain good marks in internals, and the passing percentage is maybe like 4. something.

It's the best college for MBA course.

Faculty: High-quality instruction is consistently recommended for learning and growth. Businesses are frequently large, and industrial activity is heavily pushed. The curriculum is consistent with industry practices. All of the teachers and staff are really helpful. Semester exams are rigorous, but around 85% of students pass.

My personal review on ICFAI.

Faculty: It has a good curriculum and faculty are friendly. They help the students in everything related to the study, and the syllabus curriculum is very flexible, so students can benefit and be useful. There are many books in the library, and students can use these to full extent. Many faculty members have done their Ph.D., so they can offer good lectures for students and provide benefits.

In general about the college

Faculty: We have experienced faculty members who have a minimum of 10 years of teaching experience and interact with students in class, except for a few who only teach the curriculum. Regarding the curriculum and exams, they are not very tough. The papers are prepared by our separate branch faculty and range from moderate to hard.

My knowledge of the college.

Faculty: There is a good faculty for all courses. All faculty members hold doctorates. Internals are for 60 marks, and the remaining marks are for externals, where we write exams and must pass with a minimum of 40 marks. Faculty gives 60 internal marks based on student performance.

Semester exams have a continuous grading system, which is difficult but can be tackled with consistent effort.

I am happy with the college environment. Hostel facilities could be improved by providing AC.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They are interactive with students and friendly. Every faculty has an in-depth knowledge of their subject. There are 3 exams every semester. They are mid-1, mid-2, and the end semester exam. Exams are moderately difficult. The total exam is for 100 marks, in which students need to get 40 marks to pass the exam. Apart from studies, the college also conducts many workshops and hackathons, which make students industry-ready.

Best college for people who are here just for a degree certificate from a prestigious university.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but no proper guidance if we approach them for any doubts in the subject. All the faculty members are qualified but they don't actually give time to students to understand the subject properly. Coming to semester exams, they are totally different from what they teach us. Exams are extremely hard to pass. The pass percentage is too low.

Everything is great, but I need to travel 1hr 30 mins sometimes 2hr 30mins depending on the weather.

Faculty: Every faculty member is a Ph.D. holder and has a very good knowledge of their subject. They are very interactive with students and very helpful to students. In the first year, B.Tech students will have the same subjects, which are a programming language, engineering graphics, digital fabrication, and more, which make the students ready for upcoming opportunities. Getting a good score here is not that tough compared to other colleges. A little effort and you can score 8 CGPA.
