A medium college: Not too good, or not too bad.
Placements: 100 percent placements were observed in my course. The highest package was around 12 LPA and the lowest was around 5 LPA. The average package was around 6 LPA. In our course, BSES, Tata Power & L&T are the top recruiters. Very few students got internships through college. Most students got internships on their own. Senior manager is the top role offered.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is too good. It is none less than IITs. We have world-class labs, and classrooms are mid to good. Wi-Fi is available on the entire campus. Library is one of the finest of this country, while in the hostel, the food is good. Rooms are big and fully furnished. Medical facilities are top-notch, and the sports environment is too good.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is above average. Our course curriculum is too relevant to the modern demands. They do make students industry-ready. Semester exams are quite difficult. A few teachers set IIT-level question papers. The pass percentage is around 80-90.

Peaceful campus, strong academics, limited placements, and industry exposure.
Placements: In case of placement they try to give opportunities but don't succeed very well. As 9.5 LPA is the highest package by B.Tech CSE on-campus but off-campus doing well as B.Tech CSE got 2 times 36 LPA as the highest. In my batch of 2025 total of 109 students were there. Internship opportunities are also provided by the university in various fields and teachers provide projects to students for their internships. There is a whole system that helps students find internships.
Infrastructure: Not all hostels are in very good condition but they try to improve. It takes time because many hostels are very old as among the 5 boys' hostels, 4 of them were built before 2010 and they are all in need of some renovation. Ethernet is available at all times.
Faculty: The marking scheme of college has changed from the 2024 batch. It is like 1 minor exam of 20 marks, 20 marks quizzes, and 20 marks assignments/projects. As it is a university with various courses and departments and as of 2025 the university added a new course of B.Tech Robotics and AI.
Other: Campus life is awesome and I enjoyed it because of its location and events organised by the university. There are too many clubs that are active and engaged everywhere and doing so much well in their fields NCC is also available at the university.

Overall, college life is better.
Placements: Mathematics and computing were first opened in 2024. First time, first batch is from 24-28, so there is no placement history. Looking at the current record of this batch, it is assumed that most of the students will get placed. There are other activities held by the department, like trips and industrial visits for students. The head of the department is very helpful. If you talk to teachers, they are also available all the time.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is mostly average. This course is relevant. The course is not as difficult as ECE or EE. It is very easy if you are interested in it. Semester exams are not that difficult. If you are studying, then it is not that hard for you. The difficulty level is different for everyone. The pass percentage is the same as that of other colleges.
Other: I chose this course because I am more interested in math. It is better than CSE or other courses. Events happen twice a year. Scholarships are available for the top six students in class, and there are different types of scholarships. There are also many extracurricular activities.

It focuses on understanding rather than written learning, and can be cleared with consistent preparation. The pass percentage remains high, usually above 90 percent, as faculty guide tutorials and remedial sessions. The academic environment is balanced, preparing students for both higher studies and professional careers.
Other: I chose this course at SMVDU for its reputed faculty, industry-oriented curriculum, and serene campus environment. The best things are the quality of teaching, research opportunities, and exposure through workshops and internships. Improvements could be made in core company placements and increasing industry collaborations. University hosts vibrant events like Tatva, Verve, and other cultural/technical fests.

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.
