All facilities of S.C.D. Government College are good.

Placements: Placements of S.C.D. Government College, Ludhiana, is nice compared with other colleges in Ludhiana. Around 85-90 percent of students from our courses got placed through campus recruitment. The placement cell is quite active and provides regular training sessions, mock interviews, aptitude classes, and resume-building workshops, which help students perform confidently during placements. Nearly 60-70 percent of students secured internships during their courses. Internships are offered by so many famous companies. Top roles offered to students from my course are software developer, web developer, data analytics (entry level), system engineer, technical support, and business analyst (junior role).

Infrastructure: Very nice facilities are provided to students, such as big and clean classrooms and nice teachers. In my BCA course, the college provides a separate PC (computer) to every student in the lab, and all computers are properly updated with the latest versions and with a high-speed Wi-Fi network. Hostel of S.C.D. Government College, Ludhiana, is also very nice, with a good quality of food and clean rooms, including beds and more amenities. The canteen of this college is very nice and clean. Medical facilities are also very good. Sports and games are very popular in this college.

Faculty: Teachers in this college are very nice and helpful. They are properly qualified and knowledgeable to teach students. My personal experience with teachers is excellent. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams in this college aren't that difficult because teachers complete the syllabus on time and students who have attended classes properly have learned everything.

Other: I chose this course because I have an interest to learn web development. According to me, the best things in my course are subjects of this course because all subjects are important to learn everything about web development and many other skills used in software development. According to me, there is nothing to improve about my course because everything is perfect. Events and fests are organised every year. The campus is very large, so it never looks congested when it has a crowd. The campus is very large with sports grounds, etc. Scholarship process and extracurricular activities are also nice.

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

Placements: Placements are average in SD college only 20 to 30% of the students got placed in our college. 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.
