Very friendly university, awesome environment, classes are too good.

Placements: This university is formally for distance education, and they do not give any type of placement to their students. The faculty are good. The teaching staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Some Pvt Ltd companies show interest in this university, but they do not give placements so easily.

The review of SHIATS deemed university.

Placements: This is a very bad college for science and technology. Only 2 companies came for placements, and that is also not for engineering. They only come for the marketing department. The exams are conducted very poorly. They don't use new things and do only book reading.

I am not satisfied with the method of teaching and evaluation process.

Placements: Last year, my seniors were placed with a maximum package of 4 LPA. This year we faced two campus recruitments first was in September, and the company name was Crest a solution to manpower Pvt Ltd in which 40 students were recruited, but they were not joined, and IFBI had recruited only 20 students out of 150 students from the college.

Can get much better in terms of infrastructure.

Placements: My seniors got a good placement. Many companies came to visit our college for on campus placements. My college also provided internship to the eligible students and also took us for industrial visit in the city Allahabad and even outside the state to other cities.

It is a great experience that I ever had during my college, and I suggest this as the right choice.

Placements: I have got placed in a new channel, which is in New Delhi, and I have scored 8.8%. Most of the others in my batch got placed at different companies, and there is a good placement ratio. My seniors always got placed in reputed industries. So, it is a nice and good environment for studying and learning something new every day and every time.

Great infrastructure, and the faculty are very helpful and qualified.

Placements: We have good placements for all branches including B.Tech, dairy and agriculture as well. A good number of companies visit our campus and help us to get a good amount of industrial exposure. Around 80% of the students of a batch got placed with an average package of 4 lacs per annum. The placement department is quite active and works hard to bring approximately 120 companies.

Placements: Placement for seniors was quite good but this year we didn't got any placement. Previously the placement was better than now and students use to get better packages but now day by day it has been greatly degraded and reduced to negligible don't know what's happening with the administration.

Really good infrastructure amf facilities.

Placements: The placements can be said as average. The college sends its students to pool campus where they have to compete with other 100s of students for placement. The package is also average, like 3-4 lacs. It is a waste if you're paying 6-8 lacs as course fee.

Add new subject like PHP, EDP, and personality development.

Placements: I am not selected through campus interview, but some of my friends got selected, and some friends gave a donation to the company for training. Mostly candidate percentage chose lies between 75 to 99 percent. The average salary offered was Rs. 15,000. IT companies have visited the campus which is based on Lucknow and Allahabad.

It is a good place to study. I didn't find anything bad about my college.

Placements: Many companies come here for placements, but the companies don't provide a good package speciality of engineering. Other than the companies form agriculture, dairy, food tech, biotech get a good level of the package. The average salary the offered to our seniors were Rs. 25,000 per month. Our college does have a placement cell providing a better experience for students and companies a flexible interaction.

Consider this college as your last option, don't keep it as your first option.

Placements: The placement is not something which the college focus on. Even though some good companies show up, but overall placement is not something a person can rely on. They do not notify much about the placement, which is one of the reasons and the people are not aware of placements.

An average college with average placement.

Placements: The placement is not very good. It's below average, and only very few companies visit the college. Very few department students get placed. Previously, the placement was good, but now, in the recent years, it has degraded a lot. Now students are very unhappy, and admissions also have reduced.

In terms of college life, the college is good, but in terms of studies, at least don't choose BBA.

Placements: The placements of the college were very bad and unsatisfying. They placed me in a company named Bucks and Gainer, and that company was a complete fiasco. The management of the company was a total fraud, and they lied about the salary also. The working hours were also not as per the norms. The college didn't cross-check the company's profile which was very important.

The college is good for degree and not for placements.

Placements: B.Com placements were nill in this college. Seniors arranged the internships on their own. One or two companies visited, but they are offering 1.2 lakh salary packages, that was useless. The college offers no company visits, so it is not efficient or useful for students.

There is no guarantee for placement.

Placements: No placement facilities are available in the university. No companies arrive at the college for placement purposes. No placements have been done from the college for the last five years (from 2010). Not only in this course but also in courses like B.tech (all branches) and B.Sc, there are no placements from the last 5 to 6 years.

Partially satisfied because of the null placements.

Placements: There are no such placement facilities. No company came yet for placements. Earlier it was good for placement, but now there are no placements. 8.5 cgpa is necessary for placements. The highest package 4-5lakh per annum.for agriculture, food technology and dairy technology, companies like WKC, Infosys etc. come. This year TCS also came for engineers.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: The placements in my college are not good. There aren't many companies coming to recruit the students. Less than 50% of the students were placed. The placement package was also not much. There are good placements in other departments of my college, such as the agricultural department, dairy technology department, etc.

I am not satisfied with my course (BCA), but new student can take admission in the other courses.

Placements: The placement for BCA in this college is very poor. I want to warn new students, please ignore this college. I have passed BCA from here, but none of the companies has come for placement. But, it is the best college for a Christian. I do not want to say that my college is very bad, but I can not tell a lie for future students.

Excellent to get exposure.

Placements: The companies come here for placements, but not everyone gets the placement. The maximum package which one can get after UG would be around 4 LPA. PG students get better packages. Afterall, it depends on the value of a person if he/she is capable enough to grab opportunities.

Overall, the college is good if you just need the degree.

Placements: The placement was not good. Many of the students went for the higher studies. 15% student got placed. Hardly 5 to 7 companies visited the campus for the placement. The placement cell is poor. The minimum salary offered is Rs. 6,000 and the maximum offered is around Rs. 15,000 per month. 5% students got an internship at the college. Usually, they don't offer any. The minimum stipend offered is Rs. 2,000 and the maximum offer is Rs. 4,000 per month.
