I like my college much because everything goes well on campus and in my department.

Placements: 80% of students were placed in my course. IT, banking exam and government exam packages were offered in my course. Zoho, TCS, and Infosys were the top recruiting companies for my course. 90% of students got internships from my course in companies like TCS and Zoho. Data analyst, finance, and researcher roles were offered in my course.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi labs to practice coding, a peaceful library, neat classrooms, and many more facilities were available in my department. Canteen foods were purely vegetarian and tasty, with enough food. Sports coaching was good, and indoor games were also available for a stress-free environment.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified with experience for the courses and scores. In our college, enough curriculum activities were provided. Our department provided enough knowledge to students to be industry-ready. Exams were difficult because they gave more problem-solving skills. Above 50% is the pass percentage.

Other: First reason I chose this course is I like Maths, and the next one, Maths with computer application, helps us to learn coding skills and problem-solving skills. Nothing, events were conducted, but it's not like enjoyment, it's full of learning new things through the events. Scholarship was available with an examination percentage that made the students learn more and get higher scores. Surroundingswere neat and clean every day, and extracurricular activities were available and well-organised.

It is a college that gives life.

Placements: Placements are good. The highest package reached 27 LPA, and the average packages are around 4 to 8 LPA. This indicates strong industry connections for engineering and technology students.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is limited, as the signal is often low. The campus offers robust infrastructure, including a green campus, modern labs, a library, sports facilities, a gym, a hospital, banks, and good transport. Hostel rooms are available in 2-sharing and some 4-sharing.

Faculty: There are three midterms, which are hectic. Professors are very experienced. Exams are rigorous, involving internal assessments and end-of-semester tests. Selection is typically based on merit in the JEE and intermediate examinations.

Other: Campus is situated on 300 acres. Campus life is marked by a strict dress code and disciplined environment. They often designed for parents’ comfort rather than student freedom. This creates mixed feelings about creativity and personal expression due to hierarchy and control. The university provides an industry-oriented curriculum and has good infrastructure.

Best for students' careers.

Placements: 100 percent placement for students without backlog. The package is 6 to 24 LPA. Accenture, Comcast, PayPal, Amazon, Caterpillar, and many more companies recruit. Max of the role is a software engineer and technical support based only, and also in a product role, they are hiring.

Infrastructure: Good infrastructure with the best classrooms and labs. Free Wi-Fi for only pc and laptops with some restrictions. In our hostel, there are 2 in 1, 3 in 1 and single rooms for both girls and boys, and also AC and non-AC rooms are available. 24/7, there is medical support on campus. Sports and games are there, but mainly focusing on academics only.

Faculty: Most of the faculty are IIT graduates with Ph.D. and also with several projects. They have a clear understanding of the industry and future demand, and they train students based on that demand. Exams are difficult only when compared to other universities, and paper evaluation is also not strict, and the faculty are so friendly. They will help you with doubts anytime.

Other: I took this department because of my own interest, and I got a lot of hands-on experience in it. Events and culturals are there, but not that big when compared to other universities.

It’s overhyped, but still better than other colleges in our state.

Placements: In the past, a good percentage of students got placed. But now, due to the IT slowdown and the rise of AI, placements are not as high as before. Those who have enough knowledge of the subjects still have good opportunities. I am not blaming the college for this, but students are also lacking the basic required grip on the subjects.

Infrastructure: It is not up to the mark as they claim, like being a world class university. It is just average for the fees they collect from us. They can upgrade and provide a better environment for us. There is no need to change much. Just replace basic required things like benches for sitting and some basic infrastructure.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough, but the curriculum they are following is too old and not sufficient to compete in the present advanced world. I hope they will rectify this and use a better curriculum. The subjects they are following in the very first year are almost useless and senseless. They can provide the respective branch core or the basic required skills for students.
