4Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It has good infrastructure, nice placements, and a huge campus. It is recommended.

Placements: Placements are good but not the best. The RCC (Rollwala Computer Center) is considered the best college for MCA by ACPC, in terms of rank cut-off. The average package offered ranges from 4.5-5 LPA. The highest package offered ranges from 6-8 LPA. The lowest package offered ranges from 2.5-3 LPA. So I will consider it has good placements for the MCA course.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. It has a newly constructed building and nice labs. Classrooms are modern with a projector. Hostel facility is provided by the university at a cost of Rs. 1,500 per year (government). So it is also very good. There is a library in the building.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful and well-qualified. Teaching quality is also decent. The course curriculum is a bit old and outdated, but it can still work. It does not make students industry-ready. Semester exam are not so difficult. It is medium. The pass percentage is 33 percent.

Other: It is considered the best college for MCA (government), so I chose it.
