The placement is low because there have been no hostels for the last 10 years.
Placements: Around 75 to 85 percent of students get placed in my college. The highest package is 25 LPA. The lowest package is 6 LPA. Electronics and Communication Engineering is one of the top roles offered. There are many companies like Google, Infosys, and quantum computing companies.
Infrastructure: There is limited Wi-Fi, but labs have good infrastructure. Classrooms are very good, and many books are available in the library. The hostel rooms are very good for staying on campus. The quality of food and snacks is good. Both hot and cold water are available in the hostel.

Review of Pragati Engineering College.
Placements: Placements are okay. But, they won't give another chance to attend any other company if we are already placed in a company. Placement training will be given from the first year itself but is considered strictly from the third year. The highest package is 45 LPA and the lowest is 2.5 LPA.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not provided in classrooms. Labs are good. Classrooms are okay. Library infrastructure is the best thing about this college. But, very few books are provided in the library. And the worst thing is they won't allow us into the library whenever we want.
Faculty: Coming to the curriculum, it is good. There are some faculty members with high knowledge and experience. Coming to exams, semester exams are conducted very strictly and the papers are also hard. Pass percentage is almost 95 percent. Students are taken on industrial trips.
Other: Mostly tech events are conducted to gain knowledge and experience.

Good academics and library, but infrastructure and campus life need improvement.
Placements: Since I am a Mechanical Engineering student, around 60–70% of Mechanical Engineering students get placed. The highest package is around 18–21 LPA. The average is around 4–6 LPA. The lowest is about 3.6 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Hyundai, and Renault. Around 60–80% of students get internships. Roles such as Design Engineer, Software Engineer, System Engineer, and AutoCAD Designer are commonly offered.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not too bad and not too good. Labs are good. The classrooms don't have properly working fans. The library is the best for getting any books. We even have a digital library. I am a day scholar, so I don't know anything about the hostel facilities, but I have heard they are average. Canteen food is sometimes good and sometimes okay. Coming to sports, we have a big ground and also a gym.
Faculty: Compared to other colleges, teachers here explain everything very well. Not all, but some teachers do. They are knowledgeable, but they are not able to express themselves properly. This course curriculum does not make a student industry-ready. Not only here, but in most colleges. Semester exams are not particularly difficult. It depends upon you.
Other: This college doesn't have any fests or events. They only have freshers for each branch separately for two hours. There is also an annual day. It is enjoyable but not too much. There are other events, but all are related to either studies or social activities. The campus surroundings are pretty good.
