The faculty members were so nice and the infrastructure is also too good.

Placements: 68% of students get placed, and companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and Wipro recruit from our campus. While students do get internships in good companies, the details provided were not 100% accurate, as they were not officially declared.

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.

Good infrastructure and decent placements but there is room for improvement.

Placements: About 60% of my batchmates were placed. The highest package offered was around 12 LPA, the lowest was 3 LPA, and the average package was about 5-6 LPA. Top recruiting companies included TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Accenture. Around 50% of students got internships, mainly at companies like TCS, Infosys, and some startups. The most common roles offered were software developer, IT analyst, and quality assurance.

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.
