Review of what a good experience was in my college life.
Placements: Most students got their jobs in their final year. Those who were not able to get jobs through college placement took jobs outside. The highest package was 16 LPA, and the lowest package was 3.4 LPA. The top recruiting companies were HCL, TCS, Swiggy, Zomato, Wipro, etc. An internship is not mandatory for all students who are interested, they can do it.
Infrastructure: In our college, there were so many different types of courses available. Different courses had different blocks. Fully Wi-Fi available inside the college campus. Classrooms were smart rooms, and a big central library was also available on campus. In the hostel, they provided Wi-Fi, a gym, four times a day food, power backup, etc.
Faculty: The teachers were very helpful, well-qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was also good. The course curriculum was relevant. It prepared students for the industry. Very easy to pass the semester exam if you read before the exam. Almost all students passed in the Semester exam.

See in Odisha, and in terms of a private college, ITER is actually good and if you give.
Placements: This year, some of my seniors said Flipkart and some other companies hire with a nice package. 28 LPA and 32 LPA packages are offered. And the thing is, many companies are coming for hiring, like JP Morgan, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini, Flipkart, and Google. The ratio of this year was good.
Infrastructure: Nice building and hostel are well-maintained, both with AC and non-AC. Food is good, lunch, dinner, breakfast and snacks. All the rooms get cleaned daily. Staff are good, no disturbance. We have 2,3,4 sharing rooms and all the washrooms on all floors, and they are cleaned too.
Faculty: All teachers are good, and they make everything easy to understand. All the teachers are well qualified with a Doctorate, and they are really cool and very good. Able to make us understand things as simply as we want. Overall, all staff and teachers are good.

Placements: In our batch, out of 120 students, 90 to 95 are getting jobs. Most of the students are getting jobs in good companies like Accenture, Wipro, Zomato, TCS, Swiggy, etc. The highest package offered by Accenture is 9 LPA, and the lowest package offered by Wipro is 3 LPA.

They provide typical North Indian food in the hostel, and the food quality is also good.
Faculty: The teachers have good quality teaching skills, and some teachers help students related to placement. Those who are weak in communication and academic performance get guidance. The teachers prepare students before placement for all companies. The semester exams are not very difficult to pass; most regular students pass the semester exams.
Other: I have chosen this course because I have an interest in technical courses. In my course, they teach the subjects that I am interested in.

Strong academics, but a few areas can be improved.
Placements: The placement percentage is generally high because most students get absorbed into reputed hospitals. The highest package for neurosurgery specialists is usually very good. The lowest and average vary depending on whether the student chooses a private hospital, academic positions, or fellowships. Top recruiting options include multispecialty hospitals, medical colleges, and neurosurgery centers. A decent percentage of students also secure internships, observerships, or fellowships in renowned hospitals and institutes, which helps build strong clinical exposure. The top roles offered are Neurosurgery Specialist, Senior Resident, Consultant Neurosurgeon, and Fellowship Trainee in subspecialties.
Faculty: Teachers are generally helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable in their subjects. Most of them explain concepts clearly. The teaching quality is overall good. The curriculum is relevant and covers important industry-oriented topics, which helps students become well-prepared for future opportunities. Semester exams are moderately difficult, but if you attend classes and study regularly, they are manageable. The pass percentage is decent, and most students clear the exams without major issues. So overall the academic experience is good.
Other: Strong academics and supportive faculty with good clinical exposure. Excellent facilities and hands-on training make it an overall good experience. Quality teaching and solid clinical opportunities in neurosurgery.

College is good. You can take admission and have a good infrastructure.
Placements: Placement is good. If you are a good student doing amazing in academics with extracurricular knowledge and coding knowledge you will surely get a better placement. Our average placement is 5 to 6 LPA but in 2025 batch we got 10 to 12LPA. Many companies like Infosys Flipkart Amazon TCS etc. B.Tech CSE core is in much demand but if you can take AI ML it will be better. Last year 80 to 90 percent got placement.
Infrastructure: Campus is a little big not that big do not expect that much. Classrooms are not that modern but always clean. Wi-Fi everywhere. Central library is good and it has many facilities. The key building is cafeteria which has 2 cafes 1 salon and a big restaurant and on the ground floor there are many stores like Maggi and more. Labs are clean not that messy and bad looking.
Faculty: Curriculum is good and has developed a modern syllabus. B.Tech in AI ML got Python and Java both languages. Students can get a great idea from this syllabus. Teaching is good but the number of faculty is not that good at teaching although every teacher has graduated from many great colleges.
Other: Do not expect any big fest. The best course to pick is in CSE core. I wish they did more fests events and concerts. Crowd is good as they have alternative time classes. You can get 20+ clubs or societies.
