I think G.H. Raisoni College offers a decent Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering. The curriculum aligns well with industry needs, and the faculty are generally approachable and knowledgeable. The placement record is encouraging, with many students getting placed in reputable companies, though the highest packages can sometimes be less frequent.

The campus activities are engaging, but the lack of outdoor sports facilities can be a bit disappointing. If you’re looking for practical exposure, this college has its pros and cons.

I've spent two years at this college and was relieved to leave. Let me share what's not so great about it.

Infrastructure: The buildings here are some of the poorest among Bangalore's colleges. There's no proper ground for sports or relaxation, just a piece of disputed land doing nothing. Parking is a hassle since there's no designated area, and since it's in a residential zone, parking is tricky. If you park near the campus, the college might call the police to tow your vehicle. They have a court that's supposed to be for basketball, volleyball, and tennis all at once, which is odd. Plus, the basketball court is just dirt, not something I've seen elsewhere.

Teaching: A few teachers are knowledgeable, but you often see them handling multiple subjects across semesters. I had one who taught different subjects from the third to the sixth semester. Students must attend classes to keep an 85% attendance, but practical learning is lacking. Only a handful of teachers truly understand what they're teaching. The focus is on memorization rather than comprehension. The teachers are afraid of the director, who is a bit like the strict character played by Boman Irani in the movie 3 Idiots.

Crowd: The majority of students are locals, making it tough for North Indians because of the language barrier. Some students don't speak any Hindi. You'll encounter many students who are solely focused on academics, similar to the character Silencer from 3 Idiots. I knew someone who didn't even know who Steve Jobs was, which was surprising.

Facilities: The canteen isn't great, offering limited and mostly South Indian food. You're not allowed to leave during breaks, forcing everyone to eat there. I managed to get through two years somehow. The lab equipment often doesn't work properly.

Hostel: The boys' hostel is about 5 km from campus, and the food quality worsens each year. There's nowhere decent to eat nearby, and you have to be back by 8 pm, or you'll face the warden, who's quite strict. I left the hostel after a year because of this.

Extracurricular activities: These are pretty lacking. I played basketball in my first year, but the soil court that doubles for other sports isn't ideal. After having to chase down professors to mark my attendance post-event, I decided not to participate again. The college fest, TATVA, isn't impressive. In 2018, they brought in Shirley Setia, but when ticket sales were low, the organizers resorted to pleading with people to buy tickets. The college administration offers little support for events.

Warning: If you're considering this college, I’d advise against it. Look for other options in Bangalore, as they're likely better. Many students here prefer rote learning. North Indians should be cautious as they might face bias from some teachers. This college churns out engineers with little practical knowledge.

When I compare Asutosh College to Xaviers College, I can say that Asutosh College offers a more affordable fee structure for the Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] {Hons.} in Geography. My fees are around 8000 per semester, which is quite economical. The curriculum is rich, and we get to do a lot of practical work and field studies, which I really appreciate.

The campus life is decent too, with various events and a friendly environment, but there could be more extracurricular activities. Overall, I think Asutosh provides a great education and good value for money.

The hostels at GITA Bhubaneswar are great for students. They offer 24-hour WiFi, a modern air-conditioned library, a neat environment, friendly staff, and safe RO drinking water.

In my opinion, Maulana Azad Medical College is probably the top medical school in India. I'm currently a student there and have checked out all the medical colleges in Delhi. Among them, I think our campus stands out as the best, and having a great campus is really important to me.

The textbooks used in medical schools are authored by our professors, so the teaching quality is top-notch. The seniors here are fantastic, very helpful, and friendly. Our affiliated hospitals are well-kept, providing us with excellent patient exposure.

We study alongside some of the brightest students in India, which creates an amazing learning atmosphere. The labs are well-equipped, and my favorite part is the 10+ canteens that offer really delicious and affordable food. It's truly finger-licking good.

Ruia College has recently gained autonomy, but it seems like the teaching has taken a hit. Many teachers struggle to cover the syllabus on time, and new recruits often lack clarity in their concepts. You'll find yourself teaching a lot of the material on your own. While some teachers are helpful, a few in the BA faculty don't seem to care much if you're following along. The Economics department, in particular, isn't great. The new head thinks highly of herself, and they use foreign reference books without much explanation, which pushes many students to seek private tutoring. If Economics is your focus, you might want to consider other options.

On a brighter note, the History department stands out with supportive teachers who encourage research work. The Political Science head is also an excellent teacher, though the new staff tends to stick to the textbook. Since the college is autonomous, the syllabus differs from Mumbai University, meaning you'll need to create your own notes. In your second year, be ready for 8 subjects, with the first two months spent on just a couple of chapters. After that, things speed up, often cutting corners due to holidays, extra classes, and sometimes skipping material.

Overall, if you're looking for an easygoing BA experience, Ruia might not be the best choice. With 8 subjects, projects, final exams, and unit tests, finding time for extracurriculars is tough. Plus, separate passing for units, projects, and final exams means failing could lead to a tough 100-mark retake. If you're up for the challenge, Ruia might work for you. Otherwise, if you're serious about learning, there are a few outstanding teachers who can help you out.

I'm currently studying at FORE School of Management, part of the 2015–17 batch. FORE has been around for 25 years, offering a unique approach to management education. Most of the faculty, about 84%, hold PhDs, and 87% have experience in the corporate world. Students and faculty travel to either Singapore or Hong Kong to gain an international business outlook. The college collaborates with Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and the lectures we attended there for a week were really insightful.

Being located in South Delhi, FORE provides great opportunities for students to connect with companies based in Delhi and Gurgaon. Some of the major recruiters include Deloitte, EY, PwC, Cognizant, Infosys, and Tata Motors, among others.

Besides the International Immersion Programme in Singapore, the college offers a student exchange program during the third trimester. This program allows students to study at ESC Rennes School of Business in France, providing a chance to learn about business practices in different countries and cultures.

Feel free to add anything I might have overlooked.

In my experience, GITA for CSE has its ups and downs. The curriculum is aligned with industry needs, and the faculty are generally knowledgeable. However, the internship opportunities aren't very strong, and many students struggle to secure placements after the 6th semester.

The highest package recorded was around 12 LPA, but the average is closer to 3-4 LPA, which could be better. The fees are also quite manageable at 125,000 per year, plus hostel fees if you choose to stay on campus. It's a decent option, but it could improve in terms of placement support.

Life at Grant Medical College is a mix of intense studies and vibrant campus life. The MBBS program here is rigorous, with exams every 3-4 months, but the support from faculty makes it manageable. The faculty-student ratio is quite adequate, meaning we get personalized attention, which is crucial for our learning. Plus, the cultural fest Astitva adds a fun element to the college life, giving us a chance to unwind and showcase our talents. Overall, it's a fulfilling journey towards becoming a doctor.

I'm not entirely certain about the current state of Dr B R Ambedkar Medical College, but I've heard positive things about it. Back in 2010, it wasn't recognized, but that might have changed since then. Remember, all medical schools have their merits because real learning happens when you're dealing with patients. The college just helps you learn how to do that properly. Wishing you all the best in your future!
