Hey there. I graduated from ABES Engineering College in Ghaziabad in 2012. Back when I joined, the college had a solid reputation, though I'm not sure how it's perceived now. The infrastructure is impressive, possibly the best in the university. As for the faculty, they were mostly average, with a few great ones and a couple who weren't so good. I completed my degree in electronics and communication, but I noticed that placement opportunities for my field were limited. I recall that only one company, Cadence, recruited about 8 to 10 EC students. Most job offers were for the computer science department. I ended up getting a job in an IT firm. TCS hired roughly 250 students, and IGate took about 25 or 30, with packages around 3.5 LPA. Not many big companies came for placements, and those that did often offered less than 3 LPA. Now, I'm working in Hyderabad with a decent salary of 10 LPA.
The student crowd here is quite serious about academics, and you'll face tough competition. If you're looking for a fun college experience, this might not be the place. The college administration puts a strong emphasis on academics and discipline. You'll need to work hard for your internal marks, and attendance is strictly monitored. The first year can be challenging, but you'll get used to it as time goes on.
Overall, I'd say it's an average college. If you're an average student like I was (I scored 65%, which is considered below average at ABES), but you're good at English and confident, you can still land a job. Just keep your expectations for college life realistic. Hope this helps!
It's tough to know everything before you're actually there. Do you think you can figure all this out in just one day? Pick a college that you feel comfortable with. Once you're in, you'll gradually learn about placements, the coding scene, and the overall vibe of the place.
There are plenty of YouTube channels nowadays that can help you understand coding and how on-campus and off-campus placements work. So, don't stress too much. Just get started.
