It has great infrastructure. There should be more improvement in placements.

Placements: Many students do not get jobs related to M.A. Even those who get placed are hired for non-management roles like sales or back office jobs in small firms. Placement support is average. Most students have to find jobs on their own or go off campus. The college does not invite quality recruiters.

Infrastructure: Classrooms should be spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with smart boards or projectors to make learning more interactive. Libraries must have a good collection of academic books, materials, journals, and access to digital resources. There is a strong library to encourage self-study and research.

Faculty: In conclusion, faculty members are central to a student's college experience. Their dedication, knowledge, and attitude can inspire students to aim higher and achieve success in life. The college must ensure regular training, fair workload, and motivation for teachers, so they continue to deliver the best to their students.

Kurukshetra University review.

Placements: The placement in our course was extremely low. The jobs in our course were only government jobs, professors, and teachers. Some non-vocational jobs also include Telecaller and BPO. Approximately 20 percent of students got internship offers. Top roles were offices.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course were good. Wi-Fi facility was available. The library was well stocked with a huge collection of books. Modern classroom and computer labs. Basic medical facilities were available. The sports and games ground was present.

Faculty: The teacher was helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They don't teach us to explain concepts, but for a salary. The course curriculum was relevant to literature, but it doesn't have a job option in the course other than educational. The semester examination was at a moderate level.

Library provides a peaceful environment for studying.

Placements: Internship opportunities for CSE students are good. Companies like American Express, Goldman Sachs, and many other prestigious firms offer internships. These internships typically last for two months, and the stipend varies from Rs. 30,000 per month - 1 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are average for the first two years, with combined rooms for three members. For the 3rd and 4th years, single rooms are provided. A table, chair, bed, balcony, light, and fan are included. Bathrooms are common for all, with three bathrooms on one side. Mess food is average. Hostel registration is done online, followed by the submission of physical documents after paying the fees. The fee is Rs. 12,840, with Rs. 4,000 being a security deposit.

Faculty: Not all faculty members, but a few of them are good in nature. Professors in the CSE department are very helpful.

The campus has trees, plants, and greenery all over the campus.

Placements: After completing 6th semester students are eligible for valid campus placements. Companies like Daffodils, Code Quotient, Hike, TCS, etc., visit the college for placements. The highest salary package offered was 20 LPA and the average salary package offered ranges from 4-5 LPA. Almost all students are placed here. My plan after my degree is to get a good campus placement.

Infrastructure: There is a wide variety of books but sometimes there is a little bit shortage of books. Smart boards are provided for coaching. I think sports faculty members are poor as there is no proper equipment, and no attention is given to sports. Sports events are not held.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is pretty good. Almost in a class, there are 60 to 70 students and this amount of students can easily be handled. CSE faculty members are one of the best teachers. They are always ready to help every student. I do not like mechanical faculty members because they are rude to students. There are 3 sessional exams that are held before the final exam and the best of 2 will be considered.

Other: Many fests are held here like tech fest, raw talks, mela, and blood donation mela. There are many clubs here which students can join. They are very helpful for a student to learn new skills and enhance them.
