The facilities provided by the college are all good.
Placements: Many companies came to our college and gave us placements and internships. Many times, students got the best placement, and sometimes the hard-working students didn't have any type of internship. The highest package in our college was this year, 19 Lacs per month and the lowest package was 4 Lacs per month.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure in our college was also very good and big, and the lawn in our college was the best sitting area for us. Every class were not air-conditioned. The Wi-Fi at our college sometimes did not work. Furniture in the classroom was well-maintained, and the library also had the best seating capacity.
Faculty: The faculty of our college was also very good, but the type of teaching they taught us was sometimes rude. They were not well qualified, but some teachers had excellent knowledge of their subject. Teachers made us industry-ready. The difficulty level of the semester exam was easy to moderate, so that anyone could pass the exam.
Other: Events were conducted by the college on the campus. The crowd was good, and the connectivity for going home was not excellent.

Placements and infrastructure here are absolutely satisfactory.
Placements: Many students were placed in the BCA course because the college had a strong background in this course, and the feedback of seniors was very high and reliable. Top-tier companies like Tech Mahindra, IBM, Oracle, etc., recruited. The percentage of students who got placed was almost 60-70. Roles were also good, such as sales manager, product marketing, etc. Packages vary from 4 to 15 LPA.
Infrastructure: If I talk about the facility, infrastructure and the overall environment of the college, it's top-notch. Classes were very airy and clean. The college did not provide any Wi-Fi for the students, but the Wi-Fi was present for the library, computers and smart board. The canteen food was very tasty and had an affordable price while maintaining good hygiene.
Faculty: Teachers were very supportive, and sometimes they talked very frankly to the students. The teaching quality was also great because they were all very intelligent and had a Master's degree. The course curriculum was ready and relevant to government policies. Semester exams were moderate. Also, the students never felt overburdened by the exams and assignments.
Other: The connectivity from the college to the student can be increased by WhatsApp groups because sometimes there was no class, and the student faced a problem.

A decent college for basics but needs better practical training & placements.
Placements: Madras University BCA is a 3-year course mainly through affiliated colleges. Placement percentage is around 30-40% only. Average salary is about 2-4 LPA, the highest goes up to 5-6 LPA. Top companies include TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and Accenture. Around 40-60% of students get internships, mostly off-campus. Common roles are support executive, data analyst (entry), web developer, and BPO jobs. Overall, it is a good basic degree, but strong skills are needed for a high salary.
Infrastructure: Madras University has basic Wi-Fi, computer labs, and spacious classrooms for BCA students. The library is very good with many books and study materials. Labs are useful, but systems are slightly outdated in some colleges. Hostel facilities are average with shared rooms and basic amenities. Mess and canteen food is hygienic but average in taste. Medical facilities and sports like cricket and basketball are available. Overall, infrastructure is decent but not very modern.
Faculty: Teachers at the University of Madras are generally qualified and knowledgeable. They are helpful, but teaching quality depends on the affiliated college. Some colleges focus more on theory than practical learning. The BCA curriculum gives a basic foundation in programming and IT subjects. However, it is not fully industry-ready, so extra skills are needed. Semester exams are moderate and easy to pass with regular study. The pass percentage is usually high, around 80-90%.
Other: I studied BCA at the University of Madras and passed out recently. I chose this course because I was interested in computers and the IT field. The best part is it gives a strong basic knowledge in programming and technology. The course is affordable and flexible for many students. I wish the curriculum had more practical training and updated industry skills. Campus life includes cultural events and average extracurricular activities with a decent crowd. Connectivity is good in Chennai, and scholarships are available for eligible students.

Faculty are good and good infrastructure.
Placements: 110 students joined our college for BCA degree in my batch. TCS, Wipro, etc. 15 percent of students in my class have gone for training internships in Cognizant company. Most of my classmates are continuously attending placement interviews and attending aptitude tests conducted by the respective company.
Infrastructure: I am not a hostel student, so I don’t know about it, but our college canteen facilities and food quality are very good with affordable prices. Medical facilities are also good. I don’t know about sports or games because I am not a sports person. I gave 4-star rating because college Wi-Fi network is very low.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and helpful because they send students to other colleges for participating in college events and competitions. Teaching quality is also good because they clear our doubts and explain the concepts very well. Course curriculum is mostly relevant but sometimes not relevant. Semester exam is good.
Other: I chose this Bachelor of Computer Application course because I wish to learn about Computer Science.
