Awesome placements, top-notch faculty, and the college with the highest ROI.
Placements: 95-97% of students were placed this year. Top private construction and manufacturing companies like L&T, TCE, Reliance, Godrej, ExxonMobil, Airbus, AFCONS, etc., recruit from our department. PSUs like BPCL, IRCON, Bridge & Roof Co., and EIL recruit on campus directly. Coming to non-core, IT companies are very few that recruit from the civil department (like TCS). In fintech and consultancy roles, ICICI Bank, PwC, ZS, and Polestar recruit every year. The average salary is around 8 LPA, and the median is 7.5-8 LPA. This year (24-25), the highest package given by BPCL (PSU) is around 21 LPA.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are non-AC, and college infrastructure is decent. Labs are also decent; only the computer lab has AC. Wi-Fi is available throughout the whole campus. A large central library and a departmental library are available. Hostel is so-so, also about mess food. I live outside campus in a PG. I would say the hostel should not be preferred. There is a large playground on the campus, and also an ATMA SBI bank.
Faculty: Faculty members are well qualified, having Masters and Ph.D. degrees from IITs, IISc, and foreign universities. The curriculum is well designed, equivalent to the GATE and UPSC ESE syllabus. Exams are very difficult to score; even the student with the highest CTC in placement also gets supplementary.
Other: Campus life I have experienced here is the best. There are organized fests like Sankranti (cultural) and Srijan (techno-management). I chose this college for its low fees and high ROI.
