Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and placement.
Placements: The college offers many placement opportunities at various companies along with placement training, which helps you and builds you into an industry-ready engineer at the end of the course. I really appreciate the effort of the management and the faculty in the placement sector.
Infrastructure: The college has an above-average infrastructure. And also for my department, I will say it is good. Many computer labs, workshops, and other labs are all there for each department. Also, the college is located on a hill, which makes the campus look really good with a mountain view. Also, the cafeteria and the canteen are really good, offering many varieties and a huge space.
Faculty: Coming to the academic curriculum, the college is really strict about it, and the faculty members are really helpful and supportive. They give us the time and help us to come to the level. And sem exams are actually simple compared to university exams, so it helps to score good internals.
Other: Events, fests and other activities are often held on the campus and are really nice.

Best college if your aim is only to study.
Placements: Placements are poor. I don't know much about placement, and I just entered as first-year and top recruitment. I don't know about that too students have better educational life. If studied good ambience with good teachers loved the college but college life and fests are too bad.
Infrastructure: Our college is average. Canteen is good. Sports teams are there. Medical facilities much don't know about them. There are good labs and libraries. It is a good college, if your aim is only to study. Campus life is bad. There are good teachers by the way and principal but the college is small.
Faculty: Teachers are good and helpful. Till studied, semester exams have been too tough. I want to study with teachers whenever the portions are taken. Curriculum is good. Pass percentage is above 80 percent. It is a good college if you are good.
Other: It is an average college.

Good placements, helpful teachers and improved facilities are available.
Placements: Around 80 percent of students from our course got placed. Based on my knowledge, the highest, the lowest, and the average package offered are around 8 LPA, 2 LPA, and 4–5 LPA. Around 70 percent of students from our college got internships through campus placements. Some of the top companies that recruited students are TCS, Wipro, Accenture, etc. The top roles offered based on our course are software developer, web developer, data analyst, mobile app developer, cybersecurity analyst, etc.
Infrastructure: Earlier, our computer labs are in poor condition, and many systems had software or hardware issues. But now, our college has received funds from the MLA, and the labs have been fully repaired and are in good working condition. We also have free Wi-Fi available on campus. The classrooms and library are well-maintained and in good condition. Currently, there are no hostels, canteens, or medical facilities. However, our college provides good opportunities for sports and games such as football, badminton, cricket, chess, ludo, and carrom.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well-qualified. They explain topics clearly and are always ready to help. One sir even explained the same topic 6 or 7 times, which I find funny but helpful. The teaching quality is good, and they make sure everyone understands, though the theory part is a bit heavy. The B.Sc. curriculum is relevant, covering programming, data structures, OS, and more, giving a strong base in Computer Science. To be industry-ready, students need extra practice and projects. Semester exams are not too hard if you study regularly, and the pass percentage is around 75–80 percent.
Other: I chose this course because I'm really interested in computers and wanted to learn programming. I'm also curious about how things work inside a computer. The best things about my course are the helpful teachers and the practical lab sessions. But I wish the syllabus had more practical sessions instead of too much theory. Our college does have some events and fests, but not as many as other colleges, and the campus isn't very crowded.

Great college if your only goal is studying. Campus life is below average.
Placements: Usually, around 70-80 per cent of students get campus placement after completing their course. As freshers, they get an average of 2.5-3.0 LPA, some even obtain more than 6 LPA. Major players in the market like Wipro, Ion, TCS and many startups hire from our college. 95 per cent of students go for an internship while they are pursuing the course. The college provides support for suitable internships to students like Wipro and TCS. After graduation, we have an opportunity to become a system analyst, full-stack developer, software engineer and many more related positions in the IT field.
Infrastructure: All our classrooms have a projector and screens. Students can also avail themselves of the free Wi-Fi offered by our institution. College also provides us with a vast collection of literature and subject-oriented books that suit all types of students. Our lab consists of around 20 systems, filled with resources and tools for studying. Currently, the college does not provide any hostel facility, students who are not day scholars should arrange their own stay. There is also no mess or canteen facility, but a small store operated by students. We also have a cricket, football and badminton play area.
Faculty: The best thing about our college is our faculty. They are very knowledgeable, kind and well-versed with their subjects. 5 stars for overall teaching quality. The course curriculum is prepared by MG University, and I believe it does make the students industry-ready. If you follow the curriculum provided by the university and follow instructions from the faculty, you can easily pass and obtain a very high GPA in semester exams. Overall, our college has around 90 per cent pass percentage.
Other: I personally chose this because of my passion towards software and technology. The best is that it satisfied all my expectations regarding my course. Honesty, I feel, more course-oriented subjects and more practical ones might make the already good course even better. Our college also conducts and participates in various fests and activities conducted by IHRD, NSS and MG University. Our college also provides financial support through scholarships and various other aid to students.

Low crowd and events, but good faculty and peaceful atmosphere.
Placements: My experience here has been heavily focused on academics. When it comes to the practical aspects of career placement and internships, the support from the institution is very limited. There aren't very active placement options here, many students use their own connections, apply for off-campus drives or pursue higher education.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are decent. The computer lab is also decent and has an internet connection. There is a college library, but it is not heavily used by the students. There are no hostel facilities since most of the students live within a commutable distance. There is no mess or canteen facility available. There is a college ground, but it is in poor condition.
Faculty: The teaching quality is very decent. Most of the faculty are very knowledgeable and helpful. I am doubtful about whether the course curriculum by itself will make us industry-ready. The semester exams are fairly hard, and the pass percentage is around 30 to 35 per cent.
Other: I chose this course because I knew I wanted to be in that field. I wish there were more practical papers in this course. The college is active in extracurricular activities such as NSS.
