I give IPU a 7.5 out of 10

As New programming languages are developing, the colleges are also adapting to the languages. Our batch was the first one to have python - web development in the course included. This gives a better hand at the upcoming programming and development advancements. All most of the subjects are in the basic form as compared to the level of understanding required in the field, they do give a head start and a basic knowledge to start delving deep in the subject as required if the students want to expand that area.

For BCA the base tuition fees was 88,000 + 5,000 (admission fee at the start of the program. Will be returned at the end of the course) + some other fees (extra curricular, sports etc. ). The total fee was around 1 lakh for 1 year (2 semesters.) . The total length of the course is 3 yrs so the total fees would be around 3 lakh.

The annual festival happens in between the month February and April. Apart from that there are many festivals held throughout the year, like sports day, hackathons, farewells etc. The campus life is like anywhere else, not too much restrictions but not too much leniency either. There are many social clubs run by students like society for music, dance, programing, advertising, theatre, marketing, literature, comedy clubs and much more. Most of them are very acting and organise many festivals and competitions throughout the year. Moreover the societies take part in the competitions held by other colleges. I would say about 40% of the classrooms are equipped with proper fans, lights and air conditioners. All the computer labs are have atleast 2 ACs and the computers are somewhat up-to-date.

There is a Common Entrance Test which consist of 12th maths, computer, English subject. The exam is not too hard. It is certainly not as hard as JEE. If we were to rate the difficulty of the exam on the scale of 0 - 10 (10 being JEE), the entrance exam for IPU BCA would lie around 6. The first cutoff (for BCA) for Maharaja Surajamal Institute goes around 600. Under 1000 rank is a very good rank and not very hard to achieve too. A basic knowledge of 12th maths, english and basic knowledge of computer with a month of preparation would get you a good enough bca college.

The faculty is very helpful. There is a strictness of attendance and if a student has low attendance, mist faculty members would let it slide considering the student is deserving or not. I had low attendance which restricted me from getting an admit card but the faculty knew that i had a genuine reason for not attending that semester, so they gave me the admit card on the premise that i will attend all the classes.
