Manipulative local company placements with low quality faculty members.
Placements: Placements are happening in my college, but the companies that are coming are not reputable or famous. They are local finance companies that are not actually related to the course we are studying, and we are actually expecting more good placements. The top companies that were taking the placements I saw are comparatively top, I have seen Infopark, etc.
Infrastructure: The college is still in development. There is a new stage which is being built now after we joined, and there are a few other infrastructural changes also, but the library could be better. The hostel is okay with good building structure, water, and other services, but the mess is a total mess.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are new joiners who are so inexperienced and dont know how to teach. They are trying to teach, but because of limited knowledge, they cannot teach us. They are overly dependent on the PDF, textbooks, and no other creative teaching methods.

College is good in terms of faculty and placement. Infrastructure is also good.
Placements: Placement opportunities are good, but only for small companies like insurance and other small IT companies. The highest package is 5 LPA but now it's increasing, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Internships are good in college. The internships are helpful to improve students' skills and knowledge. Roles offered in software development, software testing, account, etc.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is good with internet, labs, and a library. Hostels are decent with rooms, and provide water and electricity. The food in the mess is average. The canteen is good. The canteen food is superb, and the facilities are also good.
Faculty: Faculty members are supportive and qualified, ensuring students understand both theory and practical aspects. But the faculty has no proper knowledge of practical. The curriculum is relevant and updated with industry needs. In my batch 2019 scheme, the syllabus is from KTU University.
Other: Overall, the course provides a good academic foundation with supportive faculty members and decent placements. Campus has a healthy mix of academics, fests, and extracurricular activities that enrich the student experience.

Good infrastructure, placements are below average, and average campus life.
Placements: Don't expect campus placement from here.
It is like 2 to 3 lakh per annum and that is only for 50 percent students. Here you can see some good companies but do not expect high packages; if you want a good package, you have to go off campus.
Infrastructure: Here the infrastructure of the college is good; that is so attractive that many students get admission here due to the infrastructure of the college but this is not the only thing that is worth taking admission in any college and the hostels are also good here. There is no kind of ragging but mess is average.
Faculty: Faculties are of both kinds; some are good, some are bad; it depends on you if you are a good student and supportive; teachers will help you in any problems and exams are good because they are connected to AKTU, that is, a good college.
Curriculum activities are also here, and you can participate in them.

Review of ILAHIA College of Engineering and Technology.
Placements: The guarantees and assurances provided to achieve placements were not met for half of the students. The least package stood at 2.42 LPA and increased based on individual skills. Compared to other colleges, our college lagged significantly in recruitment.
Infrastructure: The college always wanted to be glorified among others. Facilities available were average, and the college hid most of the truth during advertising. The college spent much of its money lavishly on promoting itself rather than building the necessary facilities.
Faculty: Professors always provoked students with their unnecessary activities and actions. Even the smallest movements of students were noticed by the professors. The academic results created hectic competition among the students from all disciplines.

Good faculty support, active fests, and decent placements with scope for improvement.
Placements: In my CSE batch at LBS College of Engineering, around 70-80% students are placed. The highest package touched 17 LPA, while the lowest is about 3 LPA, with an average of 4 LPA - 5 LPA. Top recruiters included Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Capgemini, and EY. Nearly 60% of students got internships in companies like Infosys, TCS, and startups. The most offered roles are software engineer, data analyst, system engineer, and associate consultant, giving us strong exposure to the industry.
Infrastructure: CSE department has well-equipped labs, Wi-Fi, digital classrooms, a central library, and a fab lab, which help in both academic and project work. Hostels are decent with basic facilities, but food in the mess is average. There are sports grounds, medical support, and a canteen, making campus life manageable, though some facilities could be modernized.
Faculty: Faculty members in CSE are well qualified, approachable, and supportive. They often guide students in projects and research. The curriculum is updated with subjects like AI, data science, and security, making it fairly industry-relevant. Semester exams are moderately difficult with a high pass percentage, so consistent study ensures good results.
Other: College hosts vibrant fests, cultural and technical events that keep campus life lively. Scholarships and extracurricular activities provide great support and opportunities for students' growth. Overall, a good campus environment feels here.

Good value of money nothing more.
Placements: Atmost only 15% of students from our course got placed. The highest package offered is 3.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are QSpiders, UST, LnT, and SOTI. 10% of students got internships to do some projects for WYND Technologies based in Calicut. Above 40% of students in total got internships at various companies.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available but connection and internet access are not reliable. There are so many labs and project room facilities. There is a department library in addition to the college library. Most of the classrooms have projectors. Hostel mess food is average at best. There are limited sports and games facilities.
Faculty: Only a handful of teachers do their work with dedication. They are qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is not relevant. They simply talk about loads of theories without teaching us the connection or the practicality of them. The semester exams are moderately difficult. The pass percentage is 50%.
