An honest review of RKGIT Ghaziabad.
Placements: The average percentage of students placed by RKGIT is 80-90%. About 85% of students got internships by companies in our college. Last year, the highest salary package offered at RKGIT Gaziabad was about 43 LPA. Our college helps students to make them placed.
Infrastructure: Firstly let's talk about the college infrastructure which is quite decent. We can't say that is amazing. Labs are good with good facilities. Classrooms are air-conditioned and have smartboards. In the hostel, facilities are quite enough but the mess food is not very good.
Faculty: The bonding between students and some teachers is as friends. Teachers listen to every problem of students and advise them as a friends. They are helpful and encourage students to perform well. They are well-qualified to teach students. This college helps students with their primary and secondary skills development. The college exams are of slightly high level compared to semester exams so that students can do well in their semester exams.
Other: Sometimes, our college will be open on Saturday, which is wrong. I prefer not to open the college on weekends so that students can also enjoy some free time.

Dissatisfied with the placements, faculty, and the infrastructure.
Placements: The college does not offer good placements. The average placement package offered is less than 2 Lacs per annum and the companies are not reliable for long term jobs. The placements department is also not very active, therefore, this college’s placements are not reliable for a good career.
Infrastructure: Hostel and college’s infrastructure is neither too bad nor too good. It's only average with most of the windows being broken, fans are slow in the classrooms and the classrooms don’t have AC availability. Wi-Fi is also very bad in both the hostel and the college.
Faculty: Faculty is not very good, they are only average. The exams are commenced on a daily basis here, they take exams every week. They don’t give time to build relations and preparations, they just take exams all the time. At times they conduct 25 surprise tests, 25 unit tests, 10 mid semester exams, 5 put and then the semester exams (subject wise).

Very disappointed with the faculty; they force me to pay 100% fees at any cost.
Placements: Here are only a few students getting placed from RD Engineering College. The highest package is 6 LPA, and the average package is about 3.4 LPA. Novoinvent frequently comes because they have a tie-up with RD Engineering College. Only 0.1% of students got internships off-campus.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is average; not that good, I would say. There is no Wi-Fi for students, only for faculty. Labs are conducted 4 to 5 times a week. There is no dedicated faculty for the hostel; only a warden is there, and there is also no Wi-Fi in the hostel. The mess food is average, similar to that of another college.
Faculty: Most of the faculty are very rude in nature; they won't grant you any type of leave. If your 100% fees are not submitted, they won't allow you in the classroom, even for semester exams. In the 1st year, there is no problem, but for the rest of the years, they will force you to submit at least 100% fees at the beginning of the semester.
