Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) has lately gained prominence due to providing placements more efficiently within this part of the country, the state of Uttar Pradesh, among other good reputation benefits such networks and contacts with different professionals. However, this does not mean other institutions cannot create that such as the R.R. Group of Institutions for buildings when judging by the number of students placed, placement quality, and availability, it surely varies with several factors like programme and faculty expertise as well as the industry contacts.The Faculty of Architecture in AKTU generally has better infrastructure and more industry tie-ups compared to those of newer or smaller buildings.However, such an advantage is a bit larger for placement purposes of B.Arch and M.Arch students.
