Good academics, excellent teaching, and good environment.
Placements: 70 percent of our students got placements. The highest package was 12 to 16 lacs per year and the lowest was 2 to 3 lacs per year. Many students got internships at our college. In the MBA department, there is a management club where many activities are available.
Infrastructure: Very good food, and the hostel environment was also too good. And the outside area is also too good, eco-friendly, and neat and clean everywhere. Good maintenance is there. There are also good medical facilities, and different labs are also provided.
Faculty: The teachers in the National Institute of Science and Technology are too good. They are hardworking and well-rounded Ph.D. holders. All teachers are available. They taught in a very meaningful way and were helpful. They are too dedicated and hardworking, which makes students ready for industry. The pass percentage was 40 percent, and the semester exam was moderate, but the policy was too strict.
Other: I want to develop my career in the corporate sector. And my course was well-named and famed with a good career in the future and a business idea. There were many events, and scholarships were also available.

A good college with an average placement record.
Placements: Until 2018, the college had a good placement record, but after some time, due to some internal politics, it drastically changed. In the current situation, there are very few chances of getting placed, even if you have a very good academic history.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, and currently, the construction of a new building is going on. In a few days, the building will be ready. Also, there is a gym inside the college, a swimming pool, and a big garden at the center of the college.
Faculty: This is the worst part of my college life because the faculties are not cooperating, but not all faculties. There are some good, friendly faculty members who are very helpful. Regarding the syllabus, it has to be modified because it is very complicated.
Other: If you want a peaceful graduation life, then please do not join this college.

My Review for the NIST University.
Placements: The college placement scenario is the worst. Very few companies come for recruitment with very low packages. The students of the state only get the scholarship, whereas some studentss get the scholarship based on their rank in JEE Main. The average salary is 4.2 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college admission fee was 25,000 during our time, with an annual fee of 1.2 lakh. Overall, the fees amount to approximately Rs 5 lakh for the total course. As I am a local, I don't have to pay the hostel fees. The condition of the labs is good; we do have AC, but not in the classes, which is most important considering the weather.
Faculty: The teachers are qualified but are not very supportive of students. The teaching quality is average, though some are quite good. The college is really strict regarding attendance, but it does not make a student industry-ready. The exams are held on time.
Other: The college has several active clubs that conduct events regularly, which are quite fun.

The Real Story Of My College Life.
Placements: From the total number of students, almost 70 percent get placements in different companies. The highest package this year is 25 LPA from Accenture. The lowest package is 5.5 LPA, and the average package is 9 LPA. Top recruiters coming to my college are Accenture, Zensar, Infosys, TCS, IBM, Texas Instruments, etc. Top roles offered are Data Analyst, Software Developer, Business Analyst, Software Engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: Each class has a blackboard, whiteboards, and smart boards. Different types of labs are there for each respective theory subject. There are two libraries in my college: one Central Library and the other one is the primary library. The food quality in the hostel is good, and the non-veg food is really awesome. There is a medical center present inside the college campus, and two ambulances are provided. There is an indoor stadium, a cricket ground, a basketball and volleyball court, a tennis court, and an outdoor stadium so that students can play games.
Faculty: Every faculty member of my college is really awesome except for a few. Faculty members are really helpful, supportive, qualified, knowledgeable, and teach so well that even a student getting failed can pass. The semester exams are not so easy and not so tough but are average so that students can pass easily. Almost 70 percent of students pass the semester exam with a good SGPA.
Other: I joined this college because the rules and regulations and the faculty members are good. The college provides an average placement of 9 LPA to the students, and placements of the highest package of 25 lakhs in MNCs like Accenture, Tata, Texas Instruments, etc. In my college, every year two celebrations are held: one is College Foundation Day and then the other one is the tech fest, that is, SANKALP. Students who are in clubs are really good, and the clubs play a vital role in enhancing their communication skills and reducing their stage fear to zero.

Good college and value for money, but not for placements.
Placements: 70% of the students are placed, and the highest package was 10 LPA. The lowest package was 4 LPA, but the average package lies between 4 LPA and 25 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Accenture, PWC, etc. However, there are no mass-hiring companies coming to the college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but needs improvement. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled, and the labs, classrooms, and library are well-ventilated. The food available in the mess and canteen is not up to the mark. Medical facilities, sports, and games are available.
Faculty: The old faculty members left the college, but the new ones replaced them. The new ones don’t have experience, while the old faculty members who were present in the college were good. They understood your problems and supported you very much, especially the HODs, who were very good.
Other: I chose Computer Science and Engineering because I had an interest in the field of computers and technology. I wish the college provided more internship opportunities and placements for the students.

Khushi's Review The only change I want is regarding placements.
Placements: Only forty to fifty percent of the students were placed in the current pass out batch of 2024. The average package is four to five lacs, and the highest package comes from the ECE branch, which is Western Digital, which is twenty lacs. There are not many internship opportunities available.
Infrastructure: Some faculty members are good, while others are not that supportive. The classrooms are good, as are the labs, and Wi-Fi is also available in both the college and hostel. The hostel charges 25,000 annually for non-AC rooms, but the condition of the mess food is really the worst.
Faculty: The teachers are qualified, though some are not that efficient in their work. The course curriculum is relevant and helpful but needs some changes. Exams are conducted regularly, and attendance criteria are strictly followed. The passing criteria are to get above forty percent in the final semester in all the subjects.
Other: The colleges conduct an annual festival called Sankalp, and there are many clubs in the colleges.
