MERI College offers a supportive educational environment with a satisfactory faculty-to-student ratio and approachable teachers who ensure timely completion of the syllabus. Placement opportunities at the college are average, with about 50% of students securing jobs at reputable companies. The salary packages range from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh per annum. Students become eligible for placements by their 6th semester, and internships are available from the 3rd semester, though 40-50% of these internships are often unpaid.
Prominent companies like Infosys and TCS recruit for roles in software development and data analysis, with projects in web development and machine learning. Affiliated with IP University and MDU, MERI College offers a BCA program with annual fees between Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 1.2 lakh, payable in full or in installments. The total course fee for certain programs can reach up to Rs. 15 lakh, not covering accommodation and other daily expenses.
Although the college fosters internship and placement opportunities, scholarships and financial aid are limited. Tuition fees rarely increase, though there was a recent hike of Rs. 12,000 shortly after admission. Some students rely on loans, and campus jobs, which provide modest stipends, to manage educational expenses.
