Review of Lucknow University for B.Tech CSE.

Placements: 60 percent of students got placed in tech-related companies other will be placed in sales or edtech-related companies or get admission to M.Tech via GATE. The highest package is about 14LPA. The lowest package is 3 LPA. The average package is 6 LPA. Soti is the top recruiting company this year.

Infrastructure: The only thing I like is my library other than this I don't like anything about my college. We have been in the same classroom for 2 years, and there is no smart board facility provided for us, and no AC in our class. You have lots of extra time because classes are not mandatory to attend, as no action is taken for being absent but it affects you if you are a scholarship student.

Faculty: Exams are not very difficult but also not very easy. The students who have gone through all the topics of the syllabus once can manage to score above 8 SGPA, but the curriculum is not relevant, it is not going to make you industry-ready. You have to make yourself industry-ready by learning skills on your own.

Other: No events, fests, and campus life. You will feel like you are in school. I would improve events related to tech. I will make sure workshops are held a lot rather than just lectures in the events. Also, I would like to improve the water facility of the new building of Lucknow University. The best thing about my course is that I can take a lot of leaves without any problem for my skills.

If your main goal is other competitive exams, then go for it.

Placements: It is a government-funded college and it does not promise to give you a placement. Some companies come here for orientation and they select a few bright students whom they see as having capabilities. Some of the big coaching institutes hire the Science students as teachers and give them a good package.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very old, renovation is to be done. The library is very old and the books there are yellowish because many of the books were brought there 50 years ago. There are no hostel facilities provided by the college. There is no canteen also. A playground is there but no equipment is there to play any sport.

Faculty: Teachers are very good and supportive. They are all highly qualified and ensure that no students have difficulty understanding the topic. Although the B.Sc. curriculum is old but it can still be relevant to those who are preparing for CSIR NET and entrance exams like IIT JAM.

Other: I chose this course because I am currently preparing for competitive exams, and I am also good at science, that's why I chose B.Sc. Maths. This college is for the same kind of students as me who are preparing for some competitive exams.

My college is a blessing in disguise.

Placements: In my stream, above 60% of students were placed in my course. The top recruitment for my course is in SSC. No one got an internship. The top role offered in my course is being a good scholar. Approximately 20 to 30% of the college got placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was a little bit old, like the British era. The college canteen was good. The medical facilities were a little bit slow in progress. Sports and games were also top-notch. We played many games there, like hockey, cricket, and many other sports activities.

Faculty: Most probably, all teachers were professors and had immense knowledge of their subjects. It made students industry-ready. Semester exams were moderate to hard, but not too hard to solve. Overall, teaching faculty was very cooperative and humble.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to be a professor of mathematics. Faculty and education in the course could do much better. Events like Navratri, New Year parties, and many more crowd-gathering events happened on campus. There were no extracurricular activities.

Best college for pharmacy course and its curriculum.

Placements: 100% of students were placed in my college. Last year, the highest package offered to a student in my course was 8 LPA. The average package was 3 LPA, and the minimum package received last year was 2.8 LPA. All the students were placed by our college every year.

Infrastructure: The college had the best facilities and infrastructure. The quality of the mess, canteen, and sports ground was very good. The quality of food in the hostel mess was also very good. The medical facility was good. Inside the campus, there was a bank, hospital, and all good facilities.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful and knowledgeable. The quality of teaching at my college was very helpful for our best career. From the basics to detailed discussions in the classroom, teachers gave us chances to show our character and understand what we could do. So that throughout all 4 years, we could give our best.

Other: I chose the CS branch because of NEST placement and because it was the best college for this course in Lucknow. I wanted to give my opinion to choose this college to make your future. In my college, scholarships were provided to students. Events and fests were also organized.

A perfect college for anyone who wants quality and real education.

Placements: Every year, about 70% of students get campus placements, whereas many more get placed off-campus with nice packages. The highest package ever has been 20 LPA, while last year's highest was 9 LPA. The college also assists students in getting internships. The college has many top companies like HCL and AWS to provide quality education, industry experience, and learning.

Infrastructure: The college has a very beautiful and huge infrastructure. Facilities include Wi-Fi-enabled multiple labs in each block, huge classrooms with comfortable seats, and smart board-equipped classrooms. The blocks are well-ventilated and have ample natural light. There are also 2 libraries with multiple books and E-content as well. There are 2 canteens and a separate hostel block, which is also nice, with options of 2 and 3 roommates and even ACs.

Faculty: The college is affiliated with multiple universities like AKTU and LU and runs on their curriculum. My course runs on the LU curriculum. Teachers are highly learned, experienced, and very helpful. They clear all the doubts, and even multiple times of asking and doubt-solving in the cabins are also allowed. The semester exams are normal to medium level. The faculty prepares you well to excel in the exams and makes them seem very easy for you.

Other: The college also hosts multiple events with great stars like Parmesh Verma and Panther performing last year. It also gives exposure to inter-city as well as national events, and you represent the college at prestigious positions.

Placements: University of Lucknow's main campus offers moderate placement opportunities. Top recruiters visit selected departments, but placement outcomes vary by course. Students who build strong skills, pursue internships, and network generally achieve better career prospects. Students from some selective courses get placed more.

Infrastructure: University of Lucknow has a spacious, green main campus with a pleasant academic atmosphere. Hostel facilities are decent, offering basic amenities and security. But some buildings need modernization and better maintenance for a more comfortable student experience. It provides a healthy environment.

Faculty: The B.Com faculty at University of Lucknow is knowledgeable and supportive. The curriculum covers core commerce concepts well, though practical exposure can be improved.
