    Satisfied with the faculty (not all). The infrastructure is excellent and placements are quite good.
    Placements: As far as MCA is concerned, students do get placed but the packages are not as high as B.Tech ones. This year, except 4-5 students, everyone else got placed. Some received 3 offers too. The highest package offered so far is 14 LPA. All our super seniors got placed well. Summer internship offers are provided to the students.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are large enough with projectors. Some classrooms do have A/Cs as well. Labs are well-equipped and maintained. More than 7 labs are available for computer science department only. Servers are also there where we are allowed to do our work and save it. Attendance is recorded regularly and are monitored. More than 8 canteens are present on the campus, and the food is provided at low prices. Hostels are good as I have heard from my friends. Till now, I haven't faced any infrastructure related issue.
    Faculty: Teachers are good. Their way of teaching is not like in other colleges. They give assignments in which we have to work hard. Industry exposure is not provided. Internships are allowed. This year, 5 of my friends got summer internship offers. The course curriculum is good, but I do think the distribution of subjects in semesters is better in Heritage Institute.
    Other: Jadavpur campus is quite huge. It also has a portion in Salt Lake. Sanskriti is one of the biggest events of Jadavpur which is held in around March. Sports do take place annually. Students do get scholarships.
