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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Decent Placements, but Faculty Could Improve

Placements: I was part of the ECE batch of 2026. More than 60% of the students are placed in MNCs like TCS, Amazon, etc. The training and testing-focused jobs have been prioritized in the interviews. Top roles include software developer, app developer, etc.

Infrastructure: When it comes to lab facilities, they are lacking in equipment, but teaching is good. Classrooms are good as well. The library provides a peaceful environment for reading. As for hostel facilities, they are a bit cramped, with four members sharing a room, which makes it challenging to stay. The quality of hostel food is poor.

Faculty: Some teachers are helpful in teaching certain subjects, while others have limited knowledge, making it challenging for students. Self-study is often more effective for some subjects. There are 2 or 3 semesters that are particularly difficult. The pass percentage for each semester is above 65%.

Other: I chose the ECE branch because it offers flexibility to pursue roles in either software or hardware.

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.
