Recommends this college
I chose this course because Computer Science and AI are currently in high demand, and overall the college is decent. In our university, proper placements usually start from the 7th semester, but after the 4th semester the college provides an opportunity called Impact Training during the summer vacation after the 2nd year, where top students get an early chance to work with product-based companies. As of Jan 2026, the highest placement is 60 LPA at Microsoft, while the average package is around 3.5 LPA. Most recruiters are service-based companies like Capgemini, Infosys, TCS, along with local companies and small startups. In the CSE course, there are around 3-4 thousand students, out of which roughly 200-250 students get placed after filtering. Common roles offered are Software Engineer, Web Developer, and QA Engineer. The college infrastructure is quite good. There are food courts at multiple places, playgrounds, a basketball court, and cricket nets. The entire university has free Wi-Fi with no restrictions, and canteens are spread all over the campus. Hostel facilities are okay with proper electricity and water supply, but the mess food is bad and tasteless, though manageable. Medical facilities are available at all times, and an ambulance can be called whenever needed. Faculty quality improves as semesters go on. Some professors are very knowledgeable and professional, while some just come to scroll PPTs. The college hires third-party trainers who are usually good. The course is mostly theory-based right now, so students have to put in extra effort on their own to become industry-ready. Teachers are generally available in their staff rooms. Semester exams are easy to moderate, with most questions repeated from assignments and tutorials, so around 90% students pass. One good thing about the college is the diverse crowd, with students from almost every state. College events and fests are also quite good. However, the campus is far from the main city, so there is not much to do outside. The college provides scholarships to children of army personnel and students from the SEBC category. I hope the college focuses more on practical, hands-on experience and improves outing timings for students.

Campus Facilities: The college infrastructure is good, and it feels like a different world where everything is available. From food courts to playgrounds, indoor games, libraries, and reading rooms, everything is there on campus. Banks and ATMs are also available at multiple places. The food options are good, with popular outlets like La Pino’z and Domino’s as well. There are many hostels available. The hostel food is just manageable, nothing special, but the stay is fine overall. Wi-Fi is available everywhere on campus, and there is proper water supply and electricity.
Campus Life: Campus life here is good, but there are quite a few restrictions. For example, there is no roaming allowed after 9:30 PM, and hostel gates are closed at night. Some hostel rectors are not cooperative at all, and permission is required for almost everything. However, during the day the campus feels lively and active, with good movement and a positive atmosphere.
Faculty: Faculty quality improves as semesters go on. Some professors are very knowledgeable and professional, while some just come to scroll PPTs.
