It's a good college as it's one of the top most colleges in India. The college life is good.
Placements: Almost 80 to 90 percent of students got placed. The highest package is around 80 lakh. Last year it was 1.2 crore. The lowest is around 5 lakh, and the average is around 12 to 15 lakhs. Top recruiting companies are Wells Fargo, Visa, JSW, Accenture, and many more. Around 60 to 70 percent of students got internships, and companies include Visa, Accenture, and many more. The role offered is SWE.
Infrastructure: Rooms are not so high-end, but it's okay for our branch. There is Wi-Fi in classrooms, and labs are also good with around 80 computers in each lab. The library is good. It remains open from 9 AM to 9 PM. You will get Wi-Fi, books, e-books, and many more options. In the hostel, rooms are of decent size, and bathrooms are also in nice condition. Daily maintenance happens. Wi-Fi is available in every room. Food quality is also okay not very good, but satisfactory. There is a dispenser inside the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, but the curriculum is very old and not suited to modern days. It does not make a student industry-ready. Exams are quite difficult, especially the end-of-semester exams, because the syllabus is very wide, and they ask mid-semester portions. The pass percentage is 35 percent.
Other: I got as per my score, which is good according to current days, because the industry is growing. Industry-ready elements should be included in the course, and practical aspects should be increased. Campus life is very good. Many great fests are organised on campus every year, and students enjoy them a lot.
