    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.

    Good infrastructure and facilities, but the quality of faculty and placements need improvement.
    Placements: In our course, around 70-80% of students were successfully placed. The highest salary package offered was around 12-15 LPA, while the average was around 5-6 LPA, with the lowest package being 3-4 LPA. Top recruiting companies included major names like TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, and Accenture. Around 40-50% of students secured internships, with companies like TCS, Capgemini, and Cognizant offering these opportunities. The most common roles offered were software developer, systems analyst, business analyst, and IT consultant. These placements and internships reflect good industry connections, although the numbers may vary each year.
    Infrastructure: For our course, the college provides basic but functional facilities. Wi-Fi is available across the campus, although it can sometimes be slow during peak hours. Labs are equipped with the necessary software and hardware for practical sessions, though some systems may be slightly outdated. Classrooms are spacious, with basic amenities like projectors and whiteboards, offering a decent learning environment. Library has a good collection of books and online resources, though it can become crowded, especially during exam periods.
    Faculty: Teachers were generally approachable and willing to help. However, the quality of support may vary depending on the subject and professor. Many faculty members were well-qualified with advanced degrees, but practical industry experience varied. Some teachers demonstrated deep subject knowledge, while others could have benefited from more industry experience to bridge theory with real-world applications. Teaching quality was generally decent, though it depended on the faculty member. Some professors had a good teaching methodology, while others stuck more to the traditional lecture style with less interactive learning.

    My review about this college.
    Placements: The 2-month internship helped in the exposure to industries and later good placements with experience. Placement was very good. Almost 95% students got placed within the graduation. The good companies come for the job recruitment. Also, the pool campus placement for engineering students at Presidency University. The average salary package offered was 3.0 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Wipro, Infosys, Mahindra, Accenture, TCS, Byju's, and HDFC Bank visited our campus for placements. Software engineer role was offered to the students. Nearly 70% of students got internships in different companies.
    Infrastructure: Hostels were clean and had 2 and 3 sharing rooms. Each student got their own studying desk or table. Area of the rooms was large, and nearly every room had a balcony. The food provided was South Indian. The quality of food was good but it may taste different to different people.
    Faculty: Faculty members were well-educated and knowledgeable. All faculty members helped in making the students better and provided comfortable way of teaching for everyone. But few require proper communication skills as they lack communication skills from teaching point of view. Exam structure was as follows, 2 tests of 30 marks each with weightage of 15% were conducted, 20 marks assignment with 10% weightage, 10 marks quiz and 10 marks other curricular activities with overall weightage of 10% was also included and an end term exam of 100 marks weighing 50% to the overall semester grade was conducted. The course curriculum was well-structured considering the practical view of knowledge. We had numerous industrial visits set up throughout the year. After each visit, we were all given assignments that would summarize the points discussed in those visits.

    Our university has good facilities and statistics of placements.
    Placements: Our college was recently accredited with an A+ grade by NAAC in August 2023, which has boosted the university's reputation and improved job placements for students. Last year, the highest salary package offered was 35 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 7 LPA. Top recruiters of our university include HCL Technologies, ITC, Cognizant, HDFC Bank, and Axis Bank. University also provides excellent internship opportunities, with more than 70% of students securing internships last year.
    Infrastructure: University has great infrastructure, with clean hostels and a friendly atmosphere. College library houses more than 2.5 lakh books and over 14,000 journals. Each department has its separate labs, and university also offers Wi-Fi across the entire campus. University provides hostel facilities for both boys and girls, with a total of 3 hostels for girls and 4 for boys. Hostels are well-maintained, and the living environment is comfortable.
    Faculty: Faculty-to-student relationships are good at our university. The faculty members are excellent and ensure that all concepts and doubts are cleared. For exams, they provide extra classes and question banks. While the exams are difficult, students can pass if they study properly. Curriculum is good but may feel outdated compared to other engineering colleges. University has excellent professors who offer valuable guidance on necessary courses and motivate us to earn certificates to become industry-ready.

    My thoughts about Loyola college.
    Placements: My college placements are too good. The campus placements are 6th-semester students for Under Graduate and 3rd semester for Post Graduate students for eligible for campus placements. That companies are offered made 30 to 50. 90 percent of students get placements. Accenture, Wipro, and IBM and many other companies visit our college campus to give recruitment to students and the average package was 6 LPA and the highest package was 28 LPA.
    Infrastructure: Hostel rooms are big and comfortable for 2 persons in a room they provide table, chair, bed, and many other useful things. Many basic amenities they provide are washing machines, geysers, and washing dispensers etc. Each hostel room is provided with a LAN and Wi-Fi connection. Mess is the best part of this hostel, variety of food is there, and the taste and quality of food is also good. Sports facilities include 1 table tennis room, 1 football field, and a well-equipped gym.
    Faculty: This college placement is great and good so this was the reason that influenced my decision to choose this course. This college faculty suggested areas for improvement in the course curriculum and teaching methods are also good. The explanation by faculty is very well, and the approach makes it very easy during exam sessions. They are supportive and helpful. Exams are easy here and are held in a semester-wise manner, 3 semesters in a year, with practicals as well. Class Size: 52 Course Fees: INR 60000 per year.
