Good college, okay placement.

Placements: There are many students in our batch. In our institute, the highest package was about 12 LPA. Our top recruiting companies are Dell, Wipro, TCS, etc. In our institution, many of the students were hired by TCS and WIPRO. All types of roles are available.

Infrastructure: In our institute, we have smart classrooms with a good internet connection. Our labs and library are very good, and the classrooms are well air-conditioned. Our hostel food is very nice, and we have good sanitation in our hostel. Wi-Fi is available but not too fast.

Faculty: Our institute teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Their teaching quality is very good, and we can understand everything as they teach. Subjects like UPM and CALCULUS are quite hard, while UHV and ICP are a little bit easier. As a first year, I don't know the passing percentage.

Other: I chose this course because I am interested in software-related things. In our course, according to me, the best thing is building applications, and also CSE has abundant job opportunities. Improvements such as skill development and problem-solving are encouraged. Our institute gives scholarships to students, and there are many extracurricular activities provided by our college.

Good, but if you do not take the risk of money, then come to study here. Otherwise, very good.

Placements: In this college, the placement rate is above 85%. The top companies are TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, And Flipkart (which comes once this year), etc. The average package is 6 to 7 LPA. Recently, Accenture conducted mass recruitment, taking 300 candidates from ITER and providing packages of 12 LPA to around 77 students of the final year. Generally, companies come for placements around the 5th semester and continue to the last semester. Good, but not like KIIT, Odisha.

Infrastructure: In the case of the hostel, the fees are 1,10,000 for 1 year, and according to it, the food is good in quality and quantity. The hostel infrastructure is also good and study-friendly. The faculty are good. For machine learning, high-quality labs are provided. In the library, the behavior of teachers is good and very friendly. Free medicine and minor treatment are provided by SUM IMS, SOA. No functions are organized by the college except for the annual function, but many smaller events are organized, like robotics camps, the SOA Cup, and many more. It deserves a 5-star rating.

Faculty: According me i seen that many more faculties are graduate from the best institute from the India.and well experienced like 15 to 25 year. Some sir's are also 35 years of experience. Some of the associate professor are not like that but overall teaching quality is good but very fast to complete the syllabus.in the engineering college it very common. I am in first year according to.me the semester is heard level but it is important.

Other: I opted for this course because I am pretty interested in it, and it is a valuable course.

Good faculty, bad placements.

Placements: The placement in our college is very average, with around 60% of students getting placed every year. However, the packages are very low, around 2-3 LPA on average, with the highest being 6 LPA. The top recruiting company is Quickflex, and students usually get very few internship opportunities. Only about 8-9 students get internships every year, and even those are not in good places.

Infrastructure: We have a library and an e-library, but they are only open until 5 PM. There are AC classrooms, and each contains a projector screen. The college building does not have Wi-Fi, but the hostel has 24/7 Wi-Fi available. However, when the power goes off, there is no generator, so nothing works. There is a canteen on the college campus that is open until 9-10 PM and delivers anytime to your hostel. The mess food is average. Some days they make good food, but other days it cannot be eaten. There are 24/7 medical facilities available at the college hospital, which is around 3 km away from the hostel.

Faculty: Teachers are quite knowledgeable and helpful, not just with the curriculum but also if you have any personal problems. Most teachers are either retired professors from reputed colleges or those who have studied at NLUs. The curriculum is the same as that of many NLUs. I don't think it makes students industry-ready, as it is just book-based. The semester exams are moderate, and around 70% of students pass the examinations.

Other: The best thing about this course is that you get practical knowledge about society. The fees are low, and you get decent facilities and faculty. Every year, a fest is organized where you can participate or just enjoy your time. It continues for 2 days. I wish they had better placements and a bigger college campus so that more activities could be held.
