Fees and Financial Aid:
Placement:
The placements shown on the official site combine on-campus and off-campus results, so the picture can feel a bit inflated. From what I've heard, the top 20% of the students usually land between more than 14LPA. This year from what I've heard the highest on-campus offer was around 64 LPA. This is solid but still doesnt change the fact that placement packages vary greatly based on the students skill and effort.
Campus:
The campus area isn't very large, and a new hostel is currently being built, Due to limited rooms (4 sharing for seniors currently, 5 sharing for on-campus freshers and 4 sharing for off-campus hostel freshers) around 30 to 40% of freshers stay in an outside hostel. Buses run from 7:30 am to 11:40pm to make travel easier. There's a decent gym with enough equipment to train most muscle groups. The freshers credit load is light, sports are active, clubs are amazing, events and competitions are nice.
Mess:
The mess food is good enough for food. Some days, around 2 to 3 a week, can be boring, and sometimes its really tasty. For gym goers, breakfast includes boiled eggs/egg bhurji. Tasty dal 2 times a day for tiny amounts of protein. Canteen always provides tastier options when you want them, runs as late as 2 to 3 AM.
Events:
Events and clubs are one of the most fun parts of campus life. Competitions are frequent and lively, including ESports tournaments treasure hunts, blindfold challenges etc with price money and goodies. It's easy to get involved and find a group that matches your interests by joining clubs.
Fees:
For my 2025-26 batch, I pay 2,88,000INR in the first semester and 2,36,500INR in the second. Later semesters stay around 2,38,000INR. This is a clear increase from the 2024-25 structure. Everyone pays the same regardless of category, and there are no internal scholarships or waivers, though guidance for external scholarship schemes are provided. The fee is honestly high and affects affordability for many students.
