B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2027

3.2

3.0Placements3.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty3.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Dissatisfied with placements and training, but satisfied with infrastructure and professors.

Placements: I am a 2027 batch student. My course is Computer Science and Business Systems. Currently, I am in the 6th semester. Only two students have received summer internships. Only one got selected at Wells Fargo and another at Roche. There are 66 students in our branch. Very few students got internships. The top roles offered are SWE Intern and Data Intern. Many students also appear for companies like Fidelity, JPMC, Rocket India, and PWC, but no one receives offers from these companies.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi speed in both the hostel and campus is low. Labs are air-conditioned and properly maintained. However, classrooms are not air-conditioned and become very hot during the summer. The mess food quality is bad, especially the dinner food. The medical and sports facilities are good enough.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is quite good. However, this course is now not considered relevant. It has been removed for the 2028 batch of students. The semester exams are easy. Student can score a good GPA by studying one day before the exam. Pass percentage is around 98 percent.

Other: I did not choose this as my first preference. It is my last option because I do not get into better colleges. It is based on my JEE score.

Actually, the college is improving in various parts. In the placement part, the count is increasing.

Placements: In Chemical Engineering, we only have placements through on-campus recruitment. Only a few companies related to the chemical stream come to our college. But compared to past years, the count is increasing. You will get placed on campus, or you can try outside, too.

Infrastructure: The course was really good. the first year will be hectic, but after that, if you learn with full interest, you will enjoy it. The hostel is good, and the mess food will be a little satisfying, but you can still manage. The infrastructure and atmosphere are good. In the hostels, there are juice shops and a canteen; you will have all the facilities according to the price.

Faculty: The faculty will be very good and helpful. The course teaching is enough to clear the GATE exam. Semester exams will be a little difficult, but the overall pass percentage is above average. Whatever doubt you have, you can contact the faculty; each student will have separate mentors.

There is good infrastructure, professors, and machinery.

Placements: Around 70-80% of students are placed this year. Students with a CGPA above 6.5 are placing if they are strong in basics and skills. Qualcomm, TCS, etc. Around 60% of students are placing in internships in VLSI, embedded systems, RF systems, cybersecurity, electronic manufacturing systems, Bajaj, etc.

Infrastructure: They are providing clean classrooms, high facility labs, and a very good library that contains many informational topics. Basic provision of hospital and health services. Mess food is not appreciable, but can be managed. High encouragement in various sports and games. We can use labs at any time we want.

Faculty: Not everyone, but most of the teachers are highly qualified. We can join under any professor for research because many of them are working and searching under a specific domain. Only particular schools like electronics, electrical, mechanical, and computer.

The college is good, affordable, with good infrastructure and placement opportunities.

Placements: 95 percent of students in my course get placed through campus placements. The highest package is 4.2 LPA the average is 7.5 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Cognizant, Wipro, Amazon, and others. Around 40 percent of students get internships. The roles offered in my course are data analyst, junior engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. We have huge grounds for sports. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. The library building is very big. All classrooms have screens and projectors. The hostel is good for four sharing. Food in the mess is okay. Medical facilities are available in the college.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good and well-mannered. The college curriculum is very relevant for today’s education. The mid and semester exams are difficult and hard to score high marks.

Other: There are three fests in total. I suggest modifications in the timetable because it sometimes takes away time to improve skills outside the college curriculum.

I suggest students take admission if they are not getting into the top government colleges.

Placements: It does not share much information about placements, but from the school of computing, some professors told companies like Zoho, Amazon, PayPal, Infosys, and TCS visit our college to hire students. The average package offered ranges from 6-7 LPA. It also provides internships in the 3rd year, and we just have to grab it, which means we need to improve our skills.

Infrastructure: Our college has a huge campus. There are separate buildings for each course. Wi-Fi is only provided on a laptop. The library is very good, and they have even used its photos on their homepage on the website. At the start of the 1st year, they will assign a mentor to every student. Some mentors will come to our hostel day by day and try the hostel food and all.

Faculty: Teaching quality is very good, even though some of them compare this college with some NITs. The exam rules are too strict. If we are caught while cheating, they will put 0 for all subjects in internals. The weightage of internal is 50 percent on our result. The pass percentage is 50 percent.

Other: It organises only 3 fests in a year, like a sports fest named Colosseum, a tech fest named Daksh, and a cultural fest named Kuruksastr. For extracurricular activities, we may not get much time because they conduct classes up to 5:15 PM, so it all depends on us to manage our time.

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.
