Remarks

Everything was fine but when I filled out the application form there was two option offline and online mode counselling online was a little bit easy but in the offline mode there was quite a crowd and a lot of people which was creating very many problems and management was not up to mark.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

Our curriculum and Academics are up to the mark that any Engineering college should have. Some faculties are okay types and some are really nice. There are always ups and down in institutions like this. teachers hardly explain topics most of the time students use to understand a topic from youtube or from seniors. teaching methods are good. Teachers uses projectors as well as whiteboard in a lecture but lab facilities are not so good half of the machines are destroyed and not working properly.

Internships Opportunities

4

A few companies visit the campus for the summer internship for the 3rd year which also chooses very fewer people but the crowd is quite high therefore competition is also on the higher side. But for the final year, there are a lot of opportunities as most companies who come to the college recruit most of the students from the final year. you are eligible for an on-campus placement drive from the 3rd year onwards.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placement is good. A lot of companies come every year and recruit a large number of students for full-time as well as for internships. An entrepreneur cell is also there that helps students enhance their skills and start their own business or work. Average CTC ranges from 10lakh-15lakh for computer engineering. The highest package is 45lakh in 2021 and was of a student from enc branch.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees are on the unaffordable side the total annual fees is approx 4lakh and hostel costs us around 40000-45000 and mess and other things are also there which on total costs us around 5 lakh annually which some people can't afford. But scholarships are also, yours chances of getting scholarship increases if you got a good score in JEE mains or you got a cgpa of 9.5+

Campus Life

3.5

The campus is quite good almost every sport is present here, we have a synthetic athletic court, Football fields, and basketball court. Wifi is all over the campus. The library is huge with a lot of floors. There are a lot of places to hang out such as a park, running track, cos(shopping complex), you can find for any kind of sports or hobbies a society. I recommend joining one as it gives a lot of memories.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel fees are also on the higher side it cost more than 60000 for the hostel+ mess for one sem everything else is good in the hostel as there are canteens and other facilities provided. Hostel rooms are adequate enough for 3 people in 1st year. As you get into 2nd, 3rd year you can opt for 2 seaters and 1 seater room also. hostels rooms are allotted based on cgpa and hostels are also allotted based on cgpa. there is a total of 8 hostels of boys and 2 hostels of girls.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The interest in coding influenced me to choose this subject and course. The curriculum gets me ready for a 9-5 job which kind of gets hectic. The teachers could maybe schedule classes to give the students time to study what they want to and if they wish to do a course outside the university they have the time to do so rather than just going by the university curriculum
