4Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
The college has good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: A few of them were placed because there is a smaller mass of people in economics. That's one of the reasons. I am not sure about the package, but I can say a decent amount. In different courses, students got internships and even placements. Range and ICICI are the recruiting companies. HR and research analyst are the common roles.
Infrastructure: The library is the main facility, which is helpful for the students. Wi-Fi facility is available for both students and faculty members. There are several messes and canteens available for different houses. A gymnasium is available for hostel students. Ground available for all the students. University sports games are held among different houses.
Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and skilled in their spheres of knowledge. The quality of teaching is awesome. Levels of semester exams are good. The pass percentage was the same as 33%, and there are some exceptions. There are extra technical subjects there for extra skills.
Other: I selected this course because it provides several opportunities in all spheres of life, whether it is the government or the private sector. Specifically for the banking sector. It also provides great exposure to the private sector.

College is surrounded by a heaven.
Placements: The placement is average in this university, generally ranging between 5 to 6 LPA as the average salary. They bring good companies like Orange, Amazon, and TCS for student recruitment. They also provide opportunities for students to attend off-campus placements.
Infrastructure: The college facilities are very good and well-provided. It also has a good mess facility. The campus spans 450 acres with lush greenery and is surrounded by the beautiful Trikuta mountain ranges, which enhance the beauty of the campus and its surroundings.
Faculty: Faculty members are nice, but most of them are rude in nature. This makes students hesitate to approach them, which is why they can’t fully benefit from their knowledge. But, not all faculty members are like this, many of them are kind and share their knowledge completely with students.

Really good infrastructure but please don't go here if you have no other option.
Placements: Most seniors got placements after finishing their bachelor's. They are either working under companies or under our professors. They do get paid well so it's a good thing. Plus they are good designers too and get awards as well for best thesis and all.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the university is very beautiful and peaceful. Lush greenery everywhere but there are a ton of monkeys who attack you if they see bags in your hand so it's risky. Hostels are not that good as well. At least in girls hostel, there are always a ton of monkeys that make our lives difficult.
Faculty: Faculty members are very much experienced. They help us with a lot of stuff and make us gain knowledge. Most of our exams are also helpful. They make us get more adapted at doing stuff. Apart from this, our seniors are an absolute headache. They make us do labour like unpaid internships.

College surrounded by trikuta hills.
Placements: TCS, Wipro, L&T, and other companies visited my college every year. The highest package was 12 LPA, and the lowest package was 4 LPA. If someone wanted to do internships our college also provided internships to students. Students need to maintain CGPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure was good. College provided high-speed internet connectivity and smart classes. There was a big library. Classrooms were well organized and equipped with CCTV cameras. Hostel infrastructure was good. But hostel food was not that good. There was a huge sports ground also.
Faculty: Highly qualified teachers were there. Good projects to train our future. Difficulty of the exam was moderate. It covered everything tough in class. 36 marks out of 100 were passing marks. The students were made ready to face all the difficulties, they will face during their jobs through courses.
Other: I chose the college because of its good infrastructure and good ranking.

Review of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University.
Placements: The condition of placements is not so good and it is average. About 50-60% of students get placed. The highest package is 12 LPA and the lowest package is 3 LPA. The top recruiting companies for our course are BHEL, Range, Tata, Hyundai, etc. Most of the students get internships related to their courses in companies like Tata, AICTE, different kinds of industries, etc. Top roles offered are analog engineer, antenna design engineer, embedded system engineer, VLSI engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities and infrastructure are satisfactory but not that good. The college provides a Wi-Fi facility but sometimes it is down. There is no power backup. If the electricity connection gets down then students have to live without light, fan, Wi-Fi, etc. The hostels do not have power backup. Classrooms are good. The library is also good. There are a good amount of books. The food quality in the hostel mess is very poor. If students cannot compromise with food quality, then this college is not for them. The canteen is also not up to the mark. Medical and sports facilities are fair.
Faculty: Teachers are good. Some teachers are really good at teaching but some teachers are just average at teaching. Teachers are well-qualified but the teaching methods of some teachers are really good and for some it's average. The course curriculum is relevant and it focuses on the industry demand. Semester exams are difficult, and we have to study well in order to get good marks.
Other: I chose this course because I am interested in electronics. A lot of improvement is required in this college like teaching methods of faculty members, lab interactions, food quality in the hostel, hygiene in the food, and cleanliness in the hostel and bathroom. More funds should be provided for events and fests. Wi-Fi speed must be improved and fees must be reduced. Extracurricular activities must be improved and many other improvements are required.
