Absolutely satisfied with the placements and education.

Placements: The placements are excellent here, with the highest salary of Rs. 30,000 per month and the lowest of Rs. 20,000 per month. The recruiting companies are Lenskart, Titan Eye Plus, and Himalayan Opticals. All the students who got internships from these companies. 99 percent of students got placed from our course.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are well furnished. Our labs have AC with all modern equipment required. The hostel facilities are really good, with the food served and the quality of food served. There is also a washing facility for clothes in the hostel. There is also a cafe for students, and the campus life is great with lessons and fun.

Faculty: The teachers are highly knowledgeable with great degrees, helping us solve one-on-one problems. The course makes us industry-ready with the help of our teachers, helping us get ready to crack interviews very easily with good communication skills as well.

Other: This is the best course after MBBS one can do. Nothing more to improve, though. The events are organised for every occasion in our department as well as in the college.

Everything is manageable except the placements.

Placements: The number of students placed on campus is very low because no companies come here for recruiting. The highest package is maybe 8 LPA and the lowest package is 2 LPA-3 LPA. There are a few students from CSE IoT doing internships at small companies. The top roles offered in my course are hardware development, security, and network architecture.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good and polite, but the infrastructure is not very good. There is no AC in summer, and Wi-Fi works very slowly. Labs are good, but sometimes the machines are not cleaned. There is no hostel provided by the college, which is a big issue for students coming from other states or different cities.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but not so knowledgeable, they need AI support to solve problems sometimes. They teach basically with the help of AI. The curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are difficult, and more than 65 percent of students get backlogs in their semester exams.

Other: I chose Computer Science Internet of Things because it gives us knowledge of both hardware and software, which is the best thing about this course. If our college focuses more on the hardware part, it would have been better. Events are average, sometimes the events hosted by specific clubs are really good and many popular guests are in those events. There are many scholarships for students, and also we have clubs for fashion, art, dancing, singing, technical, robotics, writing, photography, and many more. Extracurricular activities are important for students as they have marks.

You could get a better college with this fee structure.

Placements: There is no active placement cell. A few companies or startups come here, but they take 4-5 students, plus, they also include other course students like MCA to apply for the same company. There is so much internal politics involved. Mostly, students get their job off campus, and the college portrays it as their own.

Infrastructure: Our engineering building is still under construction, it does not even have a lift. They only enhance those buildings or structures that are in front of the college. There is Wi-Fi, but in some places of campus, it does not work properly. The hostel is okay, but it's expensive in comparison to other PGs off-campus. Mess food is great, it's hygienic and good, but still it's a bit expensive.

Faculty: A few faculty is really focused towards knowledge and learning. Others are just there for the money, some of them do not even know their own subject. There are a few faculty members who will help you throughout your journey. It follows the MAKAUT curriculum, and it's good. It does contain the structure of core Computer Science. Exams are not that tough, but it's conceptual, which is a good thing.

Other: I chose this course because CSE offers numerous opportunities in the technical field. I wish the course would provide more industry and practical knowledge rather than just theory. The course should give us an idea about its fields and specialisations. The engineering department's extracurriculars are absurd, they do not respect your creative freedom, and they just want everything in their old-fashioned way.

A discipline-focused college along with lots of events, encouraging co-curricular activities.

Placements: Around 90% of students get placed from our college. The highest salary package is around 50 LPA. The minimum package is around 5 LPA. The top recruiting companies include TCS, Cognizant, Microsoft, and IBM. Many other top companies that provide good placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: The campus is divided into different buildings. They are far from each other, which does not give a very spacious or big campus feeling. It provides a good overall experience due to the adjustments made. It provides small playgrounds and management facilities for students' welfare.

Faculty: Faculty members are quite good and cooperative. They understand students' situations and follow the syllabus strictly. They also conduct good exams. Students have to work hard to score well and prepare themselves for job-level competitive exams.

Other: The course I selected is due to my personal interest in the field of AI. The college offers events twice or thrice every month, which keeps you going.

If you're somebody looking for a good career, please don't even take admission by mistake.

Placements: The worst placement I don't think anybody got a college placement most of them got off-campus. Customer service and sales companies were conducting drives. Even I don't remember how many tech companies conducted their drives, and they were likely the worst placements for candidates of the 2025 batch.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was average, and hostel food was pathetic even after complaining, no action was taken. Hostel management was the worst like they don't care about the health of students. Infrastructure was average, not that great or eye-catching, an average college.

Faculty: The college follows the MAKAUT curriculum. Faculty were nice and cooperative. Overall faculty members were cooperative and had a helping nature. There are 4 CAs conducted in each semester and the passing percentage was around 35 percent. I guess I don't really remember that now but it was something between 35 and 40 percent to pass each semester.
