I'm not saying that this is the worst branch in B.Tech. The opportunities are less for mechanical engineers because the software is ruling this world.

B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) - Batch of 2026

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Absolutely recommended around our city.

Placements: For every course in our college, there is a minimum of 68% placement for every batch. The highest package is about 32 LPA, also with a high range of stipends. The lowest package is around 5-6 LPA. Many recruiting companies like TCS, Amazon, Tata Electronics, Infosys, and many more hire from our college.

Infrastructure: We, being in the Computer Science department, need wide computer systems for coding, which are available for our requirements. Every type of lab in our college is really clean and well-organized. The quality of food in our college canteen is quite okay and eatable, but not great. A medical room is available for every department, and sick rooms are available on each floor.

Faculty: Our teachers are mostly friendly after class but teach the subjects seriously to avoid distractions. Our subjects are really related to our artificial intelligence course, with knowledgeable lab sessions. Semester exams are quite tricky sometimes and most of the time moderate. Those who study may pass, but sometimes can be backlogged. Overall, there is an 80% pass percentage every semester.

Pragati Engineering College is good for engineering.

Placements: Around 90% or more students are hired by the majority of businesses. The highest salary package offered is 40 LPA. Most businesses, including Wipro, etc., visit our college. The top role offered by most of the companies in our college is a software engineer.

Although the semester exams are challenging, most students manage to pass them with the assistance of their teachers. Students are passing their regular exams in 87% of cases.

Other: The majority of the time, our college hosts technical events and workshops. Due to new regulations, our college fees are higher than average, which is a drawback.

Average faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: Only about 40% of students in my course are placed. The highest package was 9 LPA, and the lowest was 2 LPA. Top recruiters are VEM Technologies and Tech Mahindra. About 50% of students get internships in companies like Tech Mahindra. Top roles offered in my course are assistant engineer.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my course is below average with below average labs, no Wi-Fi, classrooms are below average, and the library is good. Talking about hostels, they are average, and about food, it was below average. The hostel had a small gym, and talking about sports, we have a good ground.

Faculty: Yes, teachers are helpful and averagely qualified, holding M.Tech degrees. The teaching quality is average. Talking about the course curriculum, it was good but not directly geared towards industry readiness; we need to be trained. Semester exams are somewhat difficult, with a pass percentage of about 70%.

Other: I chose this course because I love core subjects. The labs must be improved for our course. Talking about events and the crowd, they are just average.

Review of Pragati Engineering College.

Placements: Placement in our college is good compared to other colleges. They focus on providing better placements for students. The highest salary package offered last year was 44 LPA. Internships provided at the campus are too good this year. They provide a stipend of Rs. 7,00,000.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good in our college. Library is too good to study. Lab facility is available. Canteen food is also good.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful in our college. Every teacher is well-qualified with good knowledge. The available course is CSE and its specialization is data science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, IT and electronic, mechanical, and civil. Exams will be held very strictly. Semester exams are too tough to pass. The pass percentage of our seniors batch is 70%. Overall, it is good.

Other: In our college, fests are organized very rarely. They only focus on studies and discipline.

Good college and friendly faculty.

Placements: About 80% of students get placed, with the highest salary being 20 lakhs per annum (LPA) and the average being 4 to 5 LPA. Companies that hire include HCL, Wipro, and others. The college provides good internships in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AIML), artificial intelligence and data science (AIDS), cybersecurity, computer science and engineering (CSE), electronics and communication engineering (ECE), mechanical engineering (MEC), and civil engineering (CIVIL). As an AIML engineer, the roles offered to me are related to my course of study, which is artificial intelligence engineering.

Infrastructure: The college environment is very good. The library is very good and has every book for our course. We get free wifi in the library. The classrooms are very big and good. The hostel is average, but the food is good. The canteen is very good for chit-chats. The college conducts sports events every year.

Faculty: The faculty and knowledgeable teaching staff are very good. They taught in a way that students could understand, and they were always willing to answer questions. Because our college is autonomous, the difficulty of the exams was better than those given by JNTU, and students were able to score a good percentage.

Other: I chose the course because in the future AI engineers will have a good opportunity in the software field.

My college life is nothing but attendance.

Placements: Only people with a percentage above 80 will get a place in our college; the rest of the students have no option of placement. Even the training for the students is not well-done; there are no skilled staff in our college, and the average package is about 3 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostel students have access to hot water and unlimited Wi-Fi. But they are facing issues with the food prepared for the students living in the hostel. Even though there is no bus stand at our college, people living in the hostels have no shelter while waiting for a bus.

Faculty: Our college faculty has no proper teaching skills; they are explaining the lecture that was present in the book, but actually, they are nothing in terms of teaching and skills. Only some people will get proper, skilled staff; the rest of the staff is worse; even students can teach well.
