I am satisfied because the infrastructure is good, and campus life at SD College is also good.

The highest package offered is 11 LPA and average package is 4 LPA and the lowest is 2 LPA top recruiting companies are TCS infosys wipro etc. About 20 to 30% of the students get internship from BCA course .

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course and hostels is very good at SD College. All the labs are fully AC centralised, even the classrooms too, and the food available in the mess and canteens of both hostels (boys and girls) is good. Medical facilities are also provided if any disease occurs to a student.

Faculty: The faculty of SD College is good, but not the best, and the course curriculum is not fully relevant, making the student half-industry-ready. Semester exams are easy, but the checking done is too tight, and the pass percentage is also low; like in MST, a student must score 25% of the total percentage of all subjects.

SD College is a good Co-ed college. You can think of taking admission in this college.

Placements: Placements are average at SD College. If a student really wants to get a placement and works hard for it, then only they can get a placement. Those students who didn't work hard will not get any placements. According to the 2023 placement data, only 25 students managed to get placement. The highest package offered is 6-7 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 2-2.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of SD College is excellent. The IT building is fully AC centralized, and the library is also amazing. The food available in the mess and canteen is also good. In SD college, a lot of students are interested in sports, so those students who are interested in sports and want to make a career out of it can apply to SD college.

Faculty: Some of teachers are highly qualified in the IT department. The curriculum of the BCA course is a bit old yet relevant. It does not make the student fully industry-ready. The semester exams of PU colleges are easy, but the checking done is too tight. A student has to get 25 marks out of 100 to pass in MST.

Other: I chose this course because I have been interested in computers since childhood. I love doing coding, and I think SD college is good, but it can improve in ways like they can conduct more IT-related competitions, Hackathons, etc. All the extracurricular activities are excellent at SD College.
