What Students Say

Likes

Scholarships are available at good scores in jee mains but there are also internal scholarships within semesters if you score good in one semester you can get scholarship financial assistance was also good
Teachers are good and they teach well and helping us to improve
The placement opportunities are good and allows big companies like amazon take students from the university.

Dislikes

The placements of this campus are very bad considering it's a government funded technical institution and the ranks for this college are high. the package should be atleast 6-7 lpa average for a cse student.
One more thing i hate here is that sports is not good here
Mess food is horrible here. the worst thing about the hostel life is mess food here.

SMVDU Overview

Likes

The campus is in Katra, surrounded by hills and greenery. It’s very calm compared to big-city universities, so you can focus on studies without too many distractions.
The evaluation system is modeled after IITs (continuous assessments, minors, majors). It keeps you consistent throughout the semester rather than relying only on one final exam.
For a relatively young university, it has well-built hostels, decent labs, a central library, sports grounds, and a campus that feels modern and organized.

Dislikes

Because it’s located in a remote area, you don’t get as many industry interactions, internships, or cultural events as you would in metro-based universities.
For branches like CSE and ECE, placements are fairly decent. But for core branches (civil, mechanical, biotech, etc.), opportunities are fewer and students often have to prepare for outside exams/jobs themselves.
The environment is disciplined, but some students feel it’s a bit too restrictive compared to other colleges. Night-outs, frequent fests, or the “big city college vibe” are missing.

Placement Experience:

In case placement they tries give opportunities but didn't succeeded to much well. As 9.5 lpa is highest package by B.Tech CSE on campus but off-campus doing well as B.Tech CSE got 2 time 36 lpa as highest

The Tales Of SMVDU

Likes

University is situated in Katra and thus you will experience mountain view daily with paths of University full of Tre.s
The Faculties are highly qualified and are best in their respective fields.They also didn't forces you for 75% attendance criteria.
Seniors of our college are helping ones. They will do Their best to help you in every aspect.

Dislikes

The Social life of College is slightly dead as Interactions among students of different branches is not easy.
The Event Organising committee is not as good to successfully organise big events.

Placement Experience:

The Placements opportunities are fair as they placement is not good. The average placement is 5 l.p.a which is very low. So you have to prepare for off campus placement. The College is slightly cut off from the top companies and they are not visiting our college from covide period. Thus placement is at not good track.
