Actually, this is a very good college, and the faculty of this college are great.
Placements: At SOA University, students who score above 70% can be placed in the CSE course. It's a very good course through which you can learn about different computer languages. The highest package offered is INR 44 LPA, and the lowest is INR 4.25 LPA. The top recruiting companies for my course are TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, etc.
Infrastructure: There are 5–6 blocks in this college that contain classrooms, labs, and faculty rooms. There is an extra block of libraries, and all of them are air conditioned, totaling 8 boys hostels and 5 girls hostels. Mess foods are okay—not very good, not very bad. 24 hour medical facilities are available at this college, and there is a basketball court. You can also play badminton and cricket here. On the front of the boys hostel, there is a garden, and apart from all that, there is a separate block that is the cafeteria. Wi-fi is available everywhere in this college, excluding classrooms.
Faculty: Faculty members of this college are well educated, qualified, and knowledgeable. All are professors in their subjects. Their teaching style is excellent. They are all very friendly and helpful. They clear our doubts whenever and wherever you ask. Through this course, you can get a very good job. Faculty members are helping and showing you the road to getting a job with a high package, through which you will be successful. And mostly in this course, there are total semesters, and between each semester there is an internal exam that will be conducted with 40 marks. In internal, if you score 12 or above, and in external, if you score 30 or above, it is declared as pass marks, but with an 8 CGPA, it will be easy to get a good job with the highest package.

Absolutely terrible hostel facilities.
Placements: Its good. They do provide placements and they are quite good unlike others but you have to struggle a bit to get good placements. 60-70% of the people do get placements. Top recruiting companies do hire people from here. Internships start from the third year.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are just terrible. Avail the hostel facilities at your own risk. The food here just isn't good at all. The rooms are all too small and congested, there is no such thing as freedom for the girls living in the hostel as there timings are really strict and they are strict as a whole.
Faculty: All the teachers are qualified and are experienced enough to teach us. The quality of teaching just depends from teacher to teacher. The courses are quite relevant and it does make the students get prepared at the industry level. The semester exams are quite moderate and it just depends on how much you work hard for it.
