Good infrastructure and facilities but lacks in placement.
Placements: 25% of students got placed with the highest salary of 8lakh per annum, average of 3.75 Lacs per annum and the lowest salary of 2lakh per annum. Main top recruiting companies are TCS, Infosys, CTS. 6 students got internship in infosys and 1 got internship in CTS.
Infrastructure: The department contains 3 computer labs with Wi-Fi facilites all around the campus. Library has 1000+ books. The quality of food is average. Sports meet, cultural, tech fest are conducted annually which is called as daksh, kurusastra. The campus contains well furnished hostel inside campus. But the hostel facilities are provided only for the students who come from other states. Students from Tamil Nadu are given least priority for providing hostel rooms.
Faculty: Teachers are friendly and supportive. Some of the professor have completed Ph.D. The quality of teaching is good but it is less when compared to the quality of teaching for engineers. The focuses on the basic programming skills and languages. It helps to understand the basics when we enter industry.
Other: I wish the course should have more exposure to industrial concepts.

Mess of stuff in a place.
Placements: In my batch, the placements have not started yet for seniors. There are a good number of students are placed. Around 70% of them are placed. Salary is around 10000 to 40000. The company that had visited Zoho, TCS, etc. There is no internship offered for MCA candidates. Placement cell is available in sastra and it is very useful.
Infrastructure: All facilities are available in sastra. Labs and classroom are neat and there will be a good environment around us. The quality of food is good and also they can make it better. Hostel rooms are comfortable and affordable by all students. The department has to be improved.
Faculty: The teachers are very much helpful and have good knowledge. They are providing max knowledge to the students. Through PPT the classes are taken. Industry exposure is not here. They are providing a better course curriculum and it is very helpful for us to gain more knowledge.
Other: Many events are conducted inside and outside of the campus. Inside the department also the management is conducting events. In Deksh and kuruk sastra many events are conducted for all students.

Q:   Are NCERT books enough to cover CUET syllabus?
A: 

NTA has mentioned that CUET UG 2026 syllabus will adhere to NCERT syllabus. Hence, it can be assumed that the NCERT books are enough to cover the syllabus of the CUET UG exam. Candidates must note that, CUET exam tests students' understanding of the subject concepts and ability to apply them in various situations.

Therefore, to prepare well and get a good score, it is advised that students refer to other study materials and books designed for national-level competitive entrance exams. The CUET UG syllabus is similar with the Class 12 Board exam syllabus. The chapters and topics are similar to Class 12 syllabus. Unlike other UG entrance exams, CUET UG syllabus does not include Class 11 syllabus.
