That's why many students opt for higher studies in India or abroad, such as Ph.D. or postdoc, and a few get research assistant jobs.

The lowest ranked Central University.
Placements: They're not providing placement for every school. Only management and engineering department students have the opportunity to grab a job through the university placement. Last year, only 20 students got placed. If we compare other colleges' packages, it seems very low compared to others.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also of poor quality. The classrooms are okay, and the whole classroom has centralized AC. Wi-Fi is also there. But the library is not sufficient for the university's strength. There is no other reading space other than the library. Library timing is 9 AM to 9 PM. Only basic medical facilities are provided at the health center.
Faculty: The curriculum and faculty are just okay, or average. Exams are too easy, and more students can easily qualify for their pass percentage. But the exam fee/semester fee is too high. There's no fee relation for other backward people or merit students. They're not providing any material.

Central University of Karnataka Review.
Placements: In the MCA program, the total number of students was 33. Out of 33, 4 were placed at TCS, with the highest package being 7.3 LPA and the lowest package being 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TCS, some banking companies for MBA students, and (there are) mostly teaching posts. The overall percentage of placement is good.
Infrastructure: In the whole department, there is Wi-Fi facility, labs, and AC classrooms. The quality of food in the mess is okay but not up to the mark. Hostel rooms are good; full Wi-Fi facilities are there. Medical facilities are okay; one university health center is there.
Faculty: The faculty in my department are the worst; they come and open their systems and read slides only. They are not updated. The syllabus is also old in my department. But they conduct examinations on time, and they publish results on time. It is not that difficult to score good marks.
Other: I got a seat there through CUET-PG, and I was planning to do an MCA; that's why I chose it because it's located in an IT hub near Hyderabad, Pune, and Bangalore.

It's not that bad option for a degree, really good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: I was a student of BSc PCM 2021-2024 batch. The truth is none of my classmates got any placement through the campus placement cell. The placement cell mainly focusing on MBA students. Almost the students in my batch decided to go for post graduate studies.
Infrastructure: It's a 2009 established university. There for the facilities and the infrastructure are really good. 24/7 available WiFi in classroom, library and hostels. Library available from 9 AM to 9 PM. Hostel rooms can accomodate 6-10 students in a room. There will be 2 common washrooms are available in each floor. And I'm really disappointed about the mess food. Many students have got health issues due to having food from mess.
Faculty: I have studied a triple main course. Therefore teachers of these three subjects have to come to our department for teaching us. Physics department have really good teacher who knows the subject very well. Maths department also have good teachers . But the chemistry department is really kind of disappointment. We have got all the facilities are contractual. And some of them don't know anything about the subject. The syllabus is not that hard. And the exam question papers are prepared by our teachers only. And 40% should get to pass the exams.
Other: I was really confused about the subject to choose for my career .That's why I choose triple main course. Therefore I can take time and find out which is my favourite and can go for post-graduation in that specific subject. What I was really enjoyed during my campus life was the fest. Each department would conduct a fest every year. That's really fun and joyful. I really enjoyed time with my friends.

CUK is the mother of nature.
Placements: The number of placements of students is good in the Central University of Karnataka. The highest package will be as per your demand if you are so talented, and the lowest package will be of four lakhs per annum. The Ajim Premji and Avanti fellows are the top recruitment companies at CUK. For the internships, the students should approach individually; the faculty can give only recommendation letters if you get selected.
Infrastructure: Course is well designed, the classrooms are large and have quality furniture, smart board is available to teach, the chalkboard and marker boards are also there. The classrooms contain A and labs are also separate. The hostel has separate bed and bathroom facilities, meal is average in quality. There is a sports ground also there, and for indoor games a separate hall is provided.
Faculty: Curriculum of the mentioned degree is well designed and taught. The teachers are very supportive and help in academics. The curriculum and computer-based education make students industry-ready. The exams are of all kinds, easy to medium to analysis-based.
Other: I have been interested in the teaching line, so I chose this course. The course gives confidence in the subject. The faculty is not permanent for the mentioned course, so they can appoint permanent faculty so that no students should face difficulties.

It's good and infrastructure is also good except for mess food.
Placements: Placements haven't started yet, but TCS came, and many students applied for it because you have to write an exam to get qualified. Internships will start in December, so mostly 50% will go for it, and the rest will prepare for PG or other things.
Infrastructure: The course is too good, and the academics are also good. There are 22 departments in the university, and almost all courses are available here except medical. Every digital resource is available in the department, university, and library too. Wi-Fi is available, and there’s a computer lab, health center, and MP hall for all indoor sports. For outdoor activities, there's a big ground, and a basketball court is also available. And the canteen, the best part of any university, is available. The hostel is also good, and you'll get all the facilities, but the mess food is not good.
Faculty: The teaching quality is too good, and every professor is well qualified in their field and supportive too, always available for students' welfare. Yes, it makes students industry-ready and corporate-ready too. The semester exams are tough, and you have to put in effort, and the pass percentage is 40%.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to be an economist. Every year, the university celebrates one event called Ankur for 1 month, and other than that, every department celebrates its own fest on different days. All festivals are celebrated.

My Life in CUK: Satisfied to an Extent but at the Same Time Dissatisfied
Placements: Almost 95% are placed somewhere in accordance with their specialization area under the course. The lowest package could be 15,000, and the highest could be 60,000 or more. The three specializations have different recruiters and top institutions. Almost all students were placed in internships in both the 3rd and 4th semesters. Roles include Ph.D. positions, corporate jobs, NGO collaborations, project managers, and more.
Infrastructure: The facilities are average. There are classrooms with projectors, smart learning options, and Wi-Fi connections. However, the library facilities are poor due to short library hours. The library closes at 5:30 PM, and this is when we could issue books, as it remains closed until 9 PM, which is also the hostel timing. Hostel life is poor, with low-quality food and poor accommodation. The hostel timings are rigid. The canteen is a relief from the mess food. The health center is well-equipped with paracetamol and O2 for student issues. Sports and games are given importance, with a ground for various sports and a gym for athletes. There's also a multipurpose hall for indoor games.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and helpful, with 3 professors, 3 assistant professors, and 2 contractual faculty members. Their teaching qualities are good. The course curriculum is partially relevant, as fieldwork experiences are lacking. The course should prioritize weekly fieldwork, but there is no such practice on campus. The semester exams are easy, with an average pass mark around 25%, though I am not sure.
Other: I am interested in working in social work, especially in an industrial setting. I would like to prioritize fieldwork and internships. There are many events, with 20 departments each conducting a fest every month. An annual cultural and sports competition is held among the 6 schools under which the departments are organized.
