Excellent infrastructure and diverse campus life, but academic rigour and placements could improve.
Placements: Around every student gets placed by the end of the course. With on-campus placement, 30+ companies visit the campus and conduct campus drives. With an overall strength of 40+, the placement percentage is more than 80% on campus, and the average CTC offered is 8+ LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good but not the best, and overall, the campus facilities are the best campus according to the place, and the greenery is very good around the hostels and buildings. Hostels are not in that good condition as they were built in the late 1980s or nearby years. But the library is good, and everything about studies is good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful in most of the cases, but if they are not able to help them, they will suggest anything else. But the syllabus should be updated, and the exams are above average tough as the semester timing is 4 months, and you have to manage everything.
Other: Campus life is the best as the campus is so huge, and the enormous greenery gives the fresh air, and the events are the best, plus the course curriculum should improve according to the industry.

Mind-blowing Infrastructure - Good placement in 2020.
Placements: 1.100 % of the batch 2017-20 received the placement 2. The highest package is 42.5 LPA while the lowest that went was 4.76 LPA 3. The top recruiting company was Adobe (Only for females) 4. Software-engineer was the top role offered 5. The highest package for MCA 42.5, the lowest - 4.75, Avg - 6 LPA 6. Around 70% got an internship while the rest indulge themselves in projects which is mandatory in that case.
Infrastructure: 1. The facilities are mind-blowing and the infrastructure is beautiful. It contains Wi-fi in every building with LAN ports around every corner. The classrooms are big and spacious which can contain double the amount of students in a particular course. The library contains several copies of all the books related to your course and other topics as well. 2. The hostel is spacious with tidy rooms. The quality of food depends upon the mess faculty which gets change every semester and the mess secretary who gets elected every month from the students itself is in charge of the same. The food served around in this university is mostly south-Indian. So, you would have to generate a taste for the same. The gym and indoor sports facilities are superb. We have 2 gyms. One unisexual and the other only for females.
Faculty: 1. Yes, the teachers and faculty around here are quite helpful and very knowledgeable. In fact, some of them even have a quite good experience in the industry as well. But the teaching quality is not so good for most of the part. 2. No, the curriculum of the course MCA is not relevant to the industry. You would have to prepare the technologies by yourself. No one wants to hire a person who knows only to code in C.
Other: 1. I want to do Masters. This was the only course offered after a 3-year Bachelors degree. The best thing about this course is that you don't need any prior knowledge before this- in case you skipped studies in your Bachelors. The course is going to be changed to a 2-year course which I personally think will be great. 2. I will like to add the latest technologies and focus on the coding part if one wants to improve the course. 3. The fests and events here are so much that you won't be able to attend them all. The campus surrounding for extra-curricular activities is good. You can learn a lot of things here. This is as far as the most happening university of India. But they don't invite any famous celebrities or music bands for concerts and all.

Good university, best education, Good campus life.
Placements: Due to the recession, companies for placements, the highest is 11 LPA, least is 5 LPA. Only 4 to 5 students placed for 10 LPA; most of the students suffered for placements. There are no companies for placements, but before last year, it has good placements.

Faculty: Faculty are very much experienced, but teaching is not that much in depth. Semester exams are very difficult; marking in sem exams also not faculty need appropriate answers easily they give marks, and also sem exams held very strictly. Faculty has more stuff and very experienced.
Other: Extracurricular activities on campus are much. My course MCA has good education, and we can get a scholarship also.

University is great and beautiful. Faculty here is very helpful. Placement is very good.
Placements: Almost 80-85% of students were placed this year from our course. The highest Package offered was 43 LPA from adobe this is all time highest package ever offered in our university to any course, the lowest was 5.5 LPA by coding ninja, and Average package here is 7-8 LPA. Top recruiting companies that showcase this year were CGI, Adobe, Teradata, Amazon, etc. Top roles offered are Software engineer, software developer, and DevOps. Percentage of students who got internship is around 50-60%, they are working as intern in companies like Amazon, CGI, Think.
Infrastructure: Labs and Classrooms are well maintained with full access to Wi-Fi, every classroom and Lab has a projector, each lab has numerous computer system with the latest update and software. Hostel Rooms are well maintained and furnished and very spacious. Each hostel has its own ground or court where you can play different sports, also there are rooms for Table tennis, Tv room where you can watch tv and can read newspaper. By the side of the hostel, there is Canteen from where you can have anything whenever you want. Mess is very good, and the mess hall is very large so many students can fit in one time. Food quality is awesome, they have a menu which gets updated every month. On weekends specials are also served. Medical Centre is also there which is open 24x7, you can dial to ambulance number anytime it will be on your GATE in 5 min that will get you to the medical centre.
Faculty: All the faculty members are well qualified and have almost 15-20 years of experience in this profession, some faculty have 10-15 years of experience in IT field, tier teaching pattern is very unique to make student understand they try to make understand practically. Course curriculum is very up to date. Course content are made in a way that student will be mastered in one technology by the end of every semester. Teacher also a crucial role in it as they have industry experience so they keep informing the student about the industry requirements and how to be prepared for that.
Other: I choose this course because this course has more opportunities in the IT industry, as this course provides more clarity and different aspect of different technology. I wish my course length would increase so that student can learn more in details about different technology. This course organises number of events every semester, which include coding competition, cultural fest and also seminar and talks from people with different IT industry.

It is the best decision to take admission in HCU so far.
Placements: Placements here are amazing. This year 4 students from MCA and M.Tech got the highest salary package of 23 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was around 5 LPA. Most of the recruiters who offer placements are from Hyderabad only. Since Hyderabad is a tech hub, most of the placements are provided in IT firms and startups. Some of those companies were Teradata, TCS Digital, TCS R&D, ThinCI, Zoom Tech, GE, Vedanta, Datawise and many more. Placements in this year were significantly higher than past years.
Infrastructure: The lecture hall complex is built like international standards. Our college has a lot of labs for different purposes, and all the systems are updated with the latest technology as well. There is unlimited 24x7 Wi-Fi facility. Classrooms have digital projectors, and the library system is semi-automated as well. The quality of food served in the mess is good, and they balance to serve South Indian and North Indian. Special food items are served in the mess in some days, and the food is very inexpensive. There's a health centre, and every student has an insurance cover. Sports and games facilities are excellent. There's a shooting range, a huge badminton court, basketball court, football field, lawn tennis, indoor games and separate gyms (one for only girls, and another one for both girls and boys). There are two shopping complexes and a lot of different labs, parks, gardens, lakes, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members here are highly educated, and almost all of them have a PhD degree from top institutions like IIT, IISc, etc. They're always ready to help. You can approach them for doubts not only in the class but also go to their respective cabins for doubts. The mode of teaching is both digital and classic. The course structure is extremely inclined towards making you industry-ready like working on the newest technologies.
Other: I chose this course to enhance my skills to make me industry-ready. The course is very diverse, so it provides me with a very broad idea and specialisation in whatever I learn. I think there is no need to make any other advancements in the course since it is already up to date and par with IITs. Our college organises a lot of events, cultural, technical and many more. The campus crowd is very good since almost all students are either masters or PhD holders. Since the campus is huge, therefore there are E-rickshaws to drop you from one place to the other. A monthly scholarship amount is distributed to economically backward class students.
