Surroundings of college is great as it is situated in the hills
The teachers are also very hard working.
The labs are well designed and have proper equipments

Dislikes

The course could have been properly structured
Better hostel facilities could have been provided
Classes timings can be better organized to save time

Course Curriculum Overview

Ya curriculum is at par with most of private colleges across the country Ya it does prepare us for real world challenges It can improve on the the time alloted for a given semester, as it is slightly less Exams are happening every now and then and thats an issue

Class Size: 32Course Fees: INR 225000 per year

Internships Opportunities

2.5

We have two internships in general One is social internship which had tieups with different ngo's across India and works on character building of an individual Second is internship which IBM offers, also student can grab self internship if they can

Placement Experience

3.5

From 4th year people are eligible for campus placements There were several companies vising the campus including TCS, Cognizent, wipro, google among others The higest package was offered of 55 lakhs per annum and average package being 8 lakhs Untill last year 100% placements were done, but this year its been slightly bad. I will persue a masters degree

Fees and Financial Aid

My overall fees for the course of 4 years would be around 16 lakhs I was avarded scholarship on the basis of UPESAT on the entrance test, thats it But some people are also given scholarship based on there attendance and cgpa No such campus employment given

Campus Life

3.5

Two fests are there, UURJA which is in November and spandan which is in February The library is pretty huge to be fare, comprising of many books of different cources Classrooms are equiped with gud technological equipments. Campus offers gud sports and extracurricular activities including football, cricket among othefs

Hostel Facilities

We are provided with 3 times meal plus a snack at the evening, along with water, electricity transportation facilities The food is okayish but fruits are not provided which is a setback. There is no such registration process, and affordability is quite easy Doonga locality

Hostel Fee: INR 100000 per year

Admission

The admission process was good and smooth. I took a test called UPESAT and got the admission. While there was no such difficulty but the admission process was very quick, and classes started soon giving us little time for preparation. Thats it

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.
