Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) - Batch of 2026
Offered by DAV College, Chandigarh
3.2
Not the best exposure but is decent.
Placements: Hardly 20 percent of students got placed by the end of the course. The packages are yet to be confirmed but the maximum package is 3 LPA. The top recruiting company is TCS. The top role offered is junior engineer. The BCA course in DAV College Chandigarh, should only be joined for exposure in the IT sector, not for placements.
Infrastructure: The computers in the labs do not work. Hardly 2 out of every 10 computers are functional. The hostel rooms are good but the bathroom, sanitary, and food facilities are the worst. The sports facilities are only for cricket. Facilities for other sports are negligible.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and friendly. The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum for our batch is very bad and does not meet today's industry needs. But the new education policy has made great improvements. So the new curriculum is good. The semester exams are not very hard but the marks students get mainly depend on what they have written and also on the nature of the checker.

Supportive teachers, effective study environment.
Placements: In the 5th semester, various companies visit the campus for placement. Companies like Wipro, TCS, Cognox, Cognizant, Cubic Logistics, etc. 50 percent of students are placed before or by the end of their degree. Various roles are offered as per company requirements, for example: front-end developer, software developer, back-end developer, etc.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available on the entire campus. The library is available with a quiet environment, but the books available in the library are very old. Classrooms are spacious and airy. The canteen has quality food and a neat and clean area for sitting. There is a big playground for sports activities.
Faculty: My college teachers are very supportive. The way of their teaching is interesting and helps in remembering the core concepts easily. The course curriculum makes students industry-ready because it has the latest NEP syllabus, which is sufficient for course knowledge. Semester exams are easy if you study well and listen to teachers’ advice.
Other: Various functions are held on the college campus, like the annual fest, youth fest, talent hunt function, various sports fests, etc. These fests are free to participate in.

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.

This college has been in the process for years since it was first established and developed.
Placements: Most students have a high percentage, above 85-90%. The package is not the highest and not the lowest, it's just a mid package. The top companies, like those from IITs and the computer field, offer top internships, and the best roles are offered to all students to get the best.
Infrastructure: The facilities are almost the same, but with extras like Wi-Fi, labs, air-conditioned classrooms, library, etc. The rooms are clean and full of air-conditioned. The canteen quality is the best, and the food quality is the best and fresh. Medical facilities are not available, but there are sports facilities.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and well-qualified, and their teaching is good. They are knowledgeable and professional. The semester exams are not hard from the teachers' perspective. The best part is that the teachers are good, and to become good teachers, they always try to be better teachers.
