I have a strong interest in Computer Science and Engineering. That was my sole reason to pursue B.Tech in CSE. At USICT, things have improved drastically. In the past few years, there is a boost in college culture in terms of entrepreneurship, research, coding, etc. Some of the faculties here are supportive and help you grow and learn. The faculty-to-student ratio is around 30:1. The faculties here are well-qualified. Mostly, having a PhD, some of them even being a post-doctorate researcher. Sometimes, a few faculties might seem to be strict, but in turn, they are helping the students for their best. Each semester, we have a Minor Examination (worth 20 marks), Major End-term Exam (worth 75 marks), and regular assessments (5 marks) for theory subjects. For practical subjects, we have Internal Assessments (40 marks) and External Lab Examination (60 marks). The exams vary from easy to hard, depending upon the course subject and your preparation.

USICT with its industrial collaborations provides many internship opportunities to its students. Tech giants like Amazon, Adobe, Trilogy Innovations (CodeNation), Urban Ladder, etc. provide internship opportunities to students with stipends varying from 20k per month to 1.5 Lakhs per month.

Many students crack exams like CAT for MBA, UPSC, etc.

USICT is one of the cheapest colleges in Delhi-NCR to pursue a B.Tech. The fees here are very nominal and affordable.
