I have a friend who is an alumnus of MSIT and here’s what he had to say about this. 

Faculty: There is a significant decline in terms of management and teaching. The faculty members are mostly doctorate students and they are pursuing their studies as well as teaching, so it is fair to say that they teach you with no sense of belonging. 

Infrastructure: Most of the campuses are growing old and there is hardly any maintenance done. They started upgrading a few years back but the development is very slow. Labs are not equipped with the necessary equipment. 

Placements: MSIT has a good placement record. There is every likelihood that the prospects for placement may dry in the future years, as the quality of education stays stagnant. The average CTC offered has remained the same since 2004. Here are the recent placement highlights.

So, according to my friend, unless some drastic change happens, it is less likely that things at MSIT will improve in near future.

Most of my friends have studied here at Maharaja Surajmal Institute and they were not very happy with the college. Following points are based on their experience:

• The first day is usually very average and you might face difficulty in getting to the classrooms.
• There will be an introduction session and usually most of the students are not very happy to get admission in that college.
• A documentation process will also take place regarding the submission of fees which will take around 2-3 hours.
• The crowd at the college is not good and you will find most of them involved in bad habits.
• The faculties of this college are well experienced and qualified. They will help you in getting a lot of knowledge.
• There is a compulsory rule of having 75% attendance in every semester and you may get failed if your attendance falls below 65%.

The students of this college and the seniors are quite helpful and friendly. You will not be getting any grooming sessions and personality development sessions in this college.

Overall the college is good and time will pass in this college very soon. You will have some beautiful memories of this college and you will enjoy it a lot along with your studies.

75% attendance regarded as overall or as per each subject is not compulsory for MSIT. One of my cousins has attended MSIT and he says many people pass the exams with 10% of attendance and that too getting above-average internal marks.

Yes, your guardian may get a call from the institute for having less than 40% attendance, but if they know that you are studying for the reattempt and not bunking lectures, you should have no problem.

I would like to suggest that you balance your aggregate in between 40-50%, be in the good books of your teachers and lab attendants as your practical marks depend a lot on your lab attendance.

Sometimes, you can play the proxy role but don’t fall into the habit of one.

According to one of my friends at VIPS, it is much better than Maharaja Surajmal. They both are affiliated with the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU). So essentially, the core study structure will be more or less similar at both institutes. But VIPS is known to have a better faculty, infrastructure, and placements.

Your first year at VIPS will go like a breeze with the smooth conduct of academics as well as extra-curricular activities. 

Ultimately, it is your choice, for your career ahead. I suggest that the better infrastructure of VIPS tips the balance in its favor. So, you can opt for VIPS over Maharaja Surajmal

One of my friends studied at Symbiosis, so I might be able to help you with the question.

• The campus is lovely, and in terms of life experience.
• There's no better college to associate with such a diverse group of people, including international exchange students as well.
• But, if you're concerned about your academics, then it’s a bitter truth for you. Most of the colleges in India only provide you with a syllabus and the rest is all self-study. Symbiosis is no exception.
• Though, if it's any consolation, the CSE placement scene is pretty decent in Symbiosis. Getting an internship is considerably easy here.

If you want to live a joyful life, it takes a lot of effort to do it here. If you want to research and think college would support you, then that won’t happen. You won’t get any sort of support from the college. But Symbiosis will give you enough industrial exposure.

It is difficult to say if Maharaja Surajmal Institute is any better than VIPS for pursuing BCA as both are not very good institutes. Both are affiliated with the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) so the curriculum followed is almost similar.

As far as faculty goes, both the institutes are equally bad. For VIPS, the faculty, as well as the administration, is so bad that on average the attendance for any class would be around 50%. Class bunks are pretty common and neither the faculty nor the administration cares about it.

Entrepreneurship is a non-existent word in the directory of both colleges. Startups do not get the required attention or importance which they can say proudly. As far as placements, it is also pretty bad in both the colleges and almost similar.

There are only two reasons for choosing VIPS over MSI –

• VIPS offers air-conditioned classrooms and campus which is helpful in the hot climate of Delhi.
• The food stalls outside of VIPS are great and would definitely suit your taste buds during your stay at the college.

Apart from that, there are no real reasons or arguments in favor of either them being superior over the other.

One of my friends is from Maharaja Surajmal. According to him, there are many reviews, so he wanted to share his authentic experience. The points listed below are some advice you may find important -

• Socializing inside the campus is good. Making friends generates good peer-to-peer learning and habits. 
• MSIT has an excellent senior junior bonding. Interacting with seniors helps a lot in every aspect.
• Lectures are interactive. It is mandatory to have 75% attendance. But, there are students with very little attendance but good internal and end semester results.
• Attending practical classes is necessary. 
• A good relationship should be maintained with all lab assistants. Some of them are very senior attendants, and even respected by professors. 
• The lab assistants are the only people to help students out during external exams.
• The college life in MSIT is quite good, but students should not expect a lot from the administration about facilities and extra-curricular activities. 
• It is a fact that the institute is just an affiliated college of IP University, and not as good as DTU or NSIT.

Therefore, these are some of the on-ground facts of MSIT that will help students make their college life better on the campus.

Maharaja Surajmal institute has one of the best campuses in IPU and the best institute for BBA in IP university. It is one of the top 3 colleges of IPU. I have a few friends at the institute, so I can give you some idea about the course. 

With a rank of 2500, you would get in easily in the first counseling itself. With around 55% marks in English in your 12th and a rank of 3000 or below, you should get in the first shift without much problem. 

The infrastructure and faculty is average for BBA and the course costs around 2.65 lakhs.
