My honest review about my college.
Placements: Still, I did not attend the placements but to my knowledge Wipro Technologies, Cognizant Technology Solutions, TCS, Citi Bank, Capgemini, Gate, Infosys, Bajaj Allianz, RBS, Sutherland, AMP Technology, HCL, and Jain Housing were the companies that offered on our college campus. Many were selected through on-campus interviews.
Infrastructure: Internet was available for assignments. Since I am locality I used to come by from my house as per the opinion about other my classmates. Hostel facilities were not upto the level. There was hygienic food. Rooms were also very compact. In each room, two or three people will be accommodated.
Faculty: The course curriculum was relevant. But the structure of course was not up to date. Faculty members were good and they helped you understand the concepts. They were well educated and they had doctorate degrees in their field. However, it's really important to manage time and study hours to excel. We were very interested in studies as our faculty members were so eager to teach us. We were very interested in studies as our faculty members were so eager to teach us. It was the toughest course I ever attended or heard of someone. Every mark earned there in 3 years was hard earned, a lot to learn. Professors there set a very high bench mark for students. Industry-level assignments were done in the course curriculum. Professors were not allowed to cheat or copy.

University has excellent professors who offer valuable guidance on necessary courses and motivate us to earn certificates to become industry-ready.

I am satisfied only because of faculty members as they helped us.
Placements: Our college doesn't offer placements, and we need to search for jobs and internships on our own. However, alumni of our department help us by providing some ideas and little platforms. None of the companies visited here for placements. We need to work hard to get a job opportunity, which really suffered us a lot.
Infrastructure: Our campus and department facilities are good enough with labs, Wi-Fi and library. There are enough facilities in our department. In the hostel, the served food is good, but it needs to be better. Rooms cleaning staff members are not available all the time. Sports and games are not conducted.
Faculty: More than half of the teachers here are effectively helped us by providing lots of information and information about real-life. Their teaching quality is far better than others, but we need guidance to get jobs. Our college should provide placements. The course curriculum is relevant to us, but if there are placements, then it teaches us many things.
Other: Events and fest are not organised there. However, our college provides scholarships for us, which are really useful.
