Remarks

There are no bad remarks as such. The placement packages can be improved. The infrastructure can also be also be improved. Moreover there is no ragging and seniors are the best.

Entrance Preview

I took the JEE (MAIN), the mother of all exams and its rank was the basis of the admission. No interview process was there.I wanted to pursue CS as I love playing with logics and the excellent reputation of the college attracted me towards it. There was no interview as such.My love to play with logics made me choose this course.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course is very nice . I have been in the college for the past one year and the college has been really supportive and considerate. The various events that have been conducted have really provided great insights on life of a student and beyond. Rote learning is not appreciated at all. Practical learning is really stressed upon.There are special labs made for these.

Internships Opportunities

The internship will be next year. From the information I have got from the seniors, the college has been helpful to the students and has managed to provide internships to the 80% of the students.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placement is very good. A lot of famous multinational companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Goldman Sachs can be caught at the interviews.The highest package was 6 lacs and the average package is around 3.5 lacs.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It's quite affordable being a government college. The fees is about 2.5 lacs per annum including hostel fees which I think any middle class family will get ready to pay for such a good college.

Exam Structure

Exams and other events combined are sometimes really tiring.

Faculty

The standard of teaching is almost at par with prestigious institutions lile IITs. The teachers are really learned and qualified. They are very nice and are very supportive of the students.Their interaction with students made students highly skilled here.

A Well-Rounded B.Tech Journey with Good Infrastructure, Supportive Faculty, and Growing Career Opportunities

Likes

Faculty members are generally qualified and approachable, and students can seek help with academics and projects.
students should supplement the university curriculum with industry certifications, coding practice, internships, GitHub projects and real-world development work.
There are cultural events, technical activities, clubs, sports and other extracurricular activities. Hostel students can participate fairly actively in campus events.

Dislikes

The main improvement I'd look for would be more advanced, industry-standard laboratory equipment and greater practical exposure.
I couldn't find a reliable current official university figure for the overall girls-to-boys ratio.
The ratio can also differ substantially between CSE, other engineering branches and the university as a whole.

Placement Experience:

Haridwar University provides regular campus-placement opportunities across IT, core engineering and other sectors. The university reports strong overall placement activity, but programme-wise salary and placement data are limited publicly, so students should ask for CSE-specific statistics before admission.

I like the college curriculum and study materials and teaching style of the teachers . Some teachers are impressive and their teaching style is too good .
Campus life is not much engaging but we usually spent our time in studying only . Also for attendance there is not much more criteria but some teachers are very strict in taking the attendance.
Faculties are full of experience and knowledge. They are approachable online and offline too but after the class.

Dislikes

I don't like the placement system in my college because the students studying in 2nd year do not get any exposure of placement . There is placement cell in our college but not very active .
Infrastructure is good but it should be spread in a more big acres . My wish was to get into IIT Kharagpur that's why I am asking for big campus .
Overall curriculum and research based approach of the campus is good. They just give projects to the seniors and seniors work is to dictate us about the project and helps us in building different types of project.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that motivates me to choose this college is the GFTI'S colleges . Because my father suggest me that govt. Colleges seeks more companies that's why I choose this college . But truth is totally opposite from the reality. Real world application based projects is just given by the teachers in every semester but we students copy it and give it to them from the gpt. College timing should be more less we have to study from 10 am to 5 p.m. Timings of exams are of 3 hrs only in semester . Difficulty level is moderate.

Graduation- Best time of life.

Likes

The campus of the university is beyond beautiful and homely. Participation in college and university societies paves way for an all rounder development of the students. Facilities like CCF internet facility) is quite commendable.
Good Placements offered also encourage better future prospects. The library of the university is next level. Kisan mela held two times a year feels like another celebration for the university people.
Events held in the university with amazing artists offer exposure as well as a unique way to keep the entertainment alive amongst the youth.e

Dislikes

The hostel rules were rigid especially the entry timings of the girls hostel. The rigidity to take leave by getting it signed by various officials first had been an issue. Although, this was when i was graduating, things might have changed by now.
The stringent hostel rules were quite difficult to cope with. The strict checking at the university gates though might seem good as per the security but seem harsh sometimes.
Teaching methods could be made more progressive and technical with time paving way for more practical knowledge. Infrastructure could also be given a push.

Placement Experience:

In final year of btech companies start coming. Maximum students of CSE and IT get placed. Package is min. 3.2Lacs CTC. Both mass recruiters and startups take part in the placement drive. A good number of students get placed. But maximum students of our college opt for higher studies like appearing for GATE, GRE, CAT exams. Further students indulge in preparation for govt services like UPSC, Defence.
