My college and my journey to entrepreneurship.

Placements: 55% of students were placed in my course. The highest package was offered to my friend Sarthak Pandey, which was 9 LPA. The average package was around 5 to 6 LPA. Internships were mostly provided at Ashok Leyland, Britannia, and Tata Telco. I actually don't know what the top roles offered were, but some students were managing accounts, and some were working in recruitment.

B.Voc Software Development – Sri Sharda Review.

Placements: It was the first batch of the B.Voc Software Development course at Sri Sharda Group of Institutions. The course started around 2025, so there was no placement data available yet. There were around 25–30 students in my class, which was actually good because teachers could give more attention. Since it was a new course, there was little placement or package information. However, students could participate in hackathons and other activities to gain experience.

It is a very good college.

Placements: In the B.A. programme, very few students get placed. In my course, the average package is around 5–6 LPA. Sometimes, top companies also visit the campus for recruitment. Around 20–30% of students from my course get internships. University is one of the most popular universities in India, so it offers a variety of roles and opportunities.

Review of University of Lucknow.

Placements: The placements are not that good. College may get companies for you just because you were the topper of the batch with 8.9 CGPA. The college may look better in its promotional videos than it actually is. If you want to see its real glory, you can visit the campus. It is kind of okay. I would recommend this college only for a degree.
