Placements: 92% of students get placed in our course. As per my information, the highest salary package offered is 35 LPA, and the maximum candidates get 3-5 LPA as freshers. But I don't know the exact lowest package. Maybe it's 2.5 LPA.

Some students got internships in the college. Top roles for our course are Web developer, software engineer, frontend developer, backend developer, and full stack developer.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are absolutely great. We have free Wi-Fi in labs, cafeteria, and a Xerox centre. Classrooms are in good condition. Library facility is great. Though I'm not a hostel student, but I know that the facilities of our hostel, the quality of the food in the mess and canteen, medical, sports, and games are fine.

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly, qualified, and knowledgeable. They teach us with practical examples and programming with real-life problems. They provide excellent notes for each semester. Our course curriculum is very relevant. If anyone prepares the core subjects strongly build programming skills and knowledge, they can easily be placed with a good package. I find our semester exams moderate. Neither too hard nor very easy. Every question is given to solve with practical knowledge, and not with memorized knowledge. The pass percentage of our course is 93%.

Satisfied with the faculty, classrooms, labs, food, and hostel.

Placements: Several people have been placed in my course. However, not in my batch, as my batch has not completed the course yet. In our batch, almost all students have got internships at companies like Prasarnet, Cronos, and other companies. The internships are in AI/ML, data analysis, management, etc.

Infrastructure: I am a daily passenger from my hometown. However, I can say that the college hostels are clean and the canteen food is good. In our college, we have carrom, 8-ball pool, table tennis, and a playground to play football, cricket, badminton, etc. We have AC in our labs and conference rooms. We also have well-maintained labs in the college, and Wi-Fi is available too.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. They make us understand concepts in unique ways. The teaching quality is surprisingly good too. The course curriculum is relevant to industry needs and makes us ready for jobs. The college semester exams are neither too hard nor too easy. It is a good examination experience. The pass percentage is 30%.

Other: I chose BCA because I wanted to become a freelancer. The best thing is probably the faculty. I wish the quality of study could be on par with the current times. We have events, fests, scholarships, extracurricular activities, tech fests, competitions, etc.

Choosing FIEM for Hotel Management.

Placements: 100% of students are placed in the Department of Hospitality and Hotel Administration. The lowest package offered is 2.4 LPA. The highest is 4.5 LPA through management training programs.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is absolutely beautiful, with spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and labs for the BHHA department. We have two large libraries in our college from which we can get our books, so we do not need to purchase any books from outside. The college does not directly have any hostel facilities, but it is associated with local paying guest providers that offer a very safe and hygienic environment at a low price. Our college also has a large canteen, a mini cricket ground, and one large basketball ground where multiple sports events take place. We also have nearby hospitals and clinics for any medical assistance.

Faculty: Our faculty members are qualified and very helpful, not only in classes but also outside of classes. They are very friendly and supportive, from classroom sessions to placement support. The course curriculum, as per the instructions of MAKAUT University, is very understandable and makes students industry-ready. Passing the semester exams is not that difficult, as students can easily get a few marks from internal exams. Pass percentage is above 95%.

Other: I chose it because I am very much interested in hospitality industry. I want to work abroad. This college supports me completely. This course is already better with a structured syllabus. Our syllabus includes not only industry-related subjects but also common management subjects. There are multiple clubs that organize multiple events throughout the year. Students can join any club of their choice. I am an advisory member of the film club here, Estrella Productions.

The experience is not as expected. I think KGEC is overhyped.

Placements: Placements are not up to the mark. This college is not an NAAC holder, but still, the median package is 5 LPA in the current job market. The highest package is 84 LPA at Microsoft. If we talk about core companies, L&T, Haldia Petrochemical, etc., hire students. For non-core companies, TCS and Infosys also come.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the campus buildings. Ethernet is available in the respective hostels. Labs are well-equipped with all the amenities that a student is going to need in these 4 years. But the computers being used are not the latest. So, there are issues while running the latest software. If we talk about the hostel, it is neatly cleaned but does not have hygienic conditions. However, there are all the amenities to play sports like table tennis, football, cricket, etc. A canteen is also available.

Faculty: Faculty is well-qualified and also very helpful. For each subject, they provide the necessary books in soft copy. As the college is affiliated with MAKAUT, the examinations and curriculum are designed by them. The semester exams are not that tough. Any student can get a good GPA with very minimal effort.
