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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
