If you want to do something big in your life, do not choose Makhan Lal Chaturvedi University.

Placements: I am in the BCA 2025–2028 batch and currently in my second semester, so I do not have firsthand placement experience yet. Based on what seniors tell me, roughly 20–30% of students get placed through campus drives. The highest package I hear about is 4–5 LPA, and the lowest is around 2.2–2.5 LPA, depending on skills. Around 20–30% of students get internships. Overall, I rate placements 3 out of 10.

Infrastructure: In our branch, the Wi-Fi does not work properly. The condition of the lab computers is poor. The library is mainly for staff use. Some classrooms are not cleaned properly. In labs, there are broken monitors, Windows 7 systems, low-storage devices, and tables that are not in good condition. The lab has only one AC.

Faculty: Faculty is good, but some members have a rude attitude and are often angry with students. However, our director is the best. He listens to all our problems, conducts functions for students. They always tries to provide the best for us.

I recommend it extremely for the students because we will enjoy the college life in it.

Placements: The college offers 100 percent placement support. I think it's true because I asked my seniors. The college offers an average of 4 to 7 LPA for BCA students. Top recruiting companies were Wipro, TCS, Deloitte, etc. It's strict to have an internship in the 3rd year, so it is mandatory for all students. Top roles are web developer, cybersecurity analyst, etc.

Infrastructure: The Infrastructure of the college is overall outstanding. The college offers free Wi-Fi on campus. Three well-maintained computer labs are in it. The classrooms are well-maintained in the whole college. It has a vast library of about 2000+ books and e-books in the college. Hostels are of an average kind. I don't think much of the quality in the hostel.

Faculty: The biggest thing is that all the faculty are in a mixed range of ages. Some faculty members are aged 25 to 30. Others are 40 to 50. So all teachers are friendly to the students. The college provides BCA (hons). It is a very industry-relevant one. Semester exams are a bit difficult.

Other: I had chosen this course because of a deep interest in cybersecurity and tech things and all. The best thing is that college has students run innovatively, so students can sit and learn independently. All activities in the college are amazing.

It is an average college with average placements and facilities.

Placements: My college offers average placement offers in our course. According to the placement report of the previous year, the highest package offered was 8 LPA, and the average package offered was 4 LPA. The lowest package was 2.1lpa. Around 40% is the placement rate. Internships are provided in the final year only.

Infrastructure: My college offers various facilities and infrastructure. Buildings are well-maintained and renovated. The campus is filled with greenery. Classrooms have Wi-Fi access. A huge library is present with aspacious seating facility for students. The college has a decent-sized canteen with seating space for students.

Faculty: Faculty members at my college are well-qualified and experienced in their respective fields. They achieved some notable achievements. They are helpful and supportive. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not fully make students industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult, but students have to study consistently over the year to pass exams.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in programming languages and growth prospects in this field. Our college organises very few events and fests every year. Scholarships are provided to students who perform well in academics and sports.
