Acharya is known for its stunning infrastructure. If you want to look into the academic section, then the views will be completely different for each department.

Departments: 

• Information Science and the Computer Science department are some of the best wings in AIT.
• CS and IS faculty are better as there is a distinct expose of knowledge if compared to the department of E&C.
• Other departments like Mechanical, BT, E&E, Mechatronics are ordinary.
• It doesn't matter which branch you will choose. You will only do great if you are truly interested in it.

Faculty:

• Expert faculties and most importantly the HOD, who is one of the best personalities you will ever meet in your life. 
• The higher management is quite helpful as they will assist you in every problem.
• In engineering, if you want to learn something, you need to learn it on your own. Faculties will only guide you on the right path.

Fees:

• The college fee structure and hostel fees is quite high as compared to other private colleges. 

Placement:

• Most of the companies recruit students for IT sector from branches like CS and IS.
• A very few companies come for core branches but most of the companies allow all the departments for the placement.

Overall, the Acharya Institute of Technology is a potential choice.

NITK Surathkal is a blend of everything, you will get all types of experiences here. The faculty is experienced and dynamic, your peers are also brilliant and competitive. Students take admission at NITK upon being rejected admission by IITs, BHU, and ISM. Local people around the campus are educated, friendly, and ready to help. 

• The annual cultural fest, "Incident" is one of the best parts of the college experience where a foreign band and a Bollywood star are invited. 

• The campus is large with all the basic facilities like water and electricity. Mess is available, and in case you don't like mess food, you have food points and canteens on the campus. You can even place food orders on Zomato or Swiggy. 

• The alumni network is pretty good, you build connections and even have a lot of enjoyment.

• Various cultural and technical clubs are present which regularly conduct workshops and activities engaging students. The film club screens a film every week. 

Now coming to the main criteria, that is education which is one of the best in India. The Professors and seniors are always helping and encouraging at every step.

• In spite of having a high quality of faculty, education, co-curricular, alumni network, infrastructure, research work, and what not, NITK does not rank best among the other NITs. 
• NITK is an autonomous institute and can design its curriculum itself, but there has not been any major considerable improvement yet. 
• The passing marks have been brought down to just 20% whereas, in most other engineering colleges, the passing percentage is at least 50%. 

These are a few of the aspects that have less to not so good ranking of NITK Surathkal among the top engineering colleges of India.

The facilities are quite good but you will not find smart graduates here. The classrooms are good with 3-star accommodation. Everything including the notices is sent online.

• A peculiar thing that you will notice is that everyone here uses Linux as an operating system including Fedora, Ubuntu, and Zorin. 
• There are no hard copy textbooks and it is a smart campus with no electrical lines seen anywhere. 
• In your first year, you will do well, plus there is no entrance exam to gain admission.
• Infrastructure-wise, the college is good. It was mainly started to boost village students to gain exposure to higher education.
• It also gives an option of 6 years of free education to prevent girls from getting married too early.
• There are also free food and hostel facilities for underprivileged students. However, the main drawback is that it could shrink the mindset of many students by making them complacent. 
• You will also find really good faculty that will help you secure a job later. Most lecturers here are individuals who have done well in their subjects. 
• Underprivileged students also get the opportunity to access movies and the internet.

Overall, it is a good place but most students end up being intelligent and not street smart here.

It is about your lifetime career and not just a degree or an uncertain job profile. So, check every aspect of yourself that you want or what you don't want to do. Then precisely balance the pros and the cons and make the right decision.

First, evaluate yourself and ask yourself what kind of work you prefer or what is your comfort zone (Sales, HR, Banking sector sales, Core finance) and then check which college profile is good for you.

Do not judge any college just by its ranking or advertise over high claims; as presenting everything in an exaggerated manner is very normalizing in India. If possible visit the campus by yourself or make a LinkedIn profile to chat with alumni (not current students) to get a clear picture of after placement job stability.

Do not run behind the annual CTC package otherwise, you would be in unfathomable depth with your bank loan burden and uncertain job profile as CTC may be seen to be high but your in-hand salary may be surprising, so always check the average 'in hand salary' or ask for advance salary'

For the core finance job profile, it is good to have at least 55 to 60 percent in graduation according to MNC criteria, and you should try through higher CAT or MAT for top tier 1 college mainly for this. For core marketing profile also need to work hard for entrance score (at least 97 onwards Mat). Also, it can reduce your education expenses by just 1.6 lakh in top government colleges.

You must review the fee structure (internship-food-stay, stipend, laptop, dress, industrial visit, and so on). If you have an interest to become a commercial bank manager or being an IT manager to control the software workforce team, but you are forced towards banking field sales or IT software corporate sales, check the job profile if it is your cup of tea or not.

One of my closest friends did her B.E. from ITM Gwalior, so I think I can give you some insights about ITM Gwalior. Here are some details about the course at ITM:

• Crowd- ITM Gwaliorhas a much-diversifiedculture. People from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Zambia, China, Nepal, Kenya, Nigeria, etc. can be seen all around the campus. Apart from international students, there are students from Indian states as well.
• Infrastructure- ITM University has excellent infrastructure. They have very good labs, sports facilities, Canteen, Library, etc. All the labs and classrooms in the University are Air Conditioned.
• Sports And Cultural Activities- ITM has all the sports facilities available on the campus. A cricket ground, basketball court, football field, and many more. Students of the college organize many technical and non-technical events throughout the year like quiz competitions, treasure hunts, coding contests, etc.
• Hostel and Mess- ITM University has separate hostels for boys and girls within the campus with all types of rooms are available: single, double, triple accommodation with attached bathrooms. AC facilities are also available. Food in the mess is very hygienic. 
• Attendance- The attendance criteria in ITM University Gwalior is very strict. Students have to maintain at least 75% attendance. Students who fail to maintain this are not allowed to sit in the examinations.

If you want helpful and friendly teachers, good facilities and infrastructure, decent placements, personality development then this is the place for you. You will find ITM University among the top institutes in the coming years.

My friend recently graduated from NIT Jamshedpur. Here is her review. 

Location: The campus is located in Adityapur, surrounded by industries. It is a bit away from Tatanagar Railway Station. Since Jamshedpur doesn’t have an airport the best way to reach the campus is from Ranchi via NH-33. 

Infrastructure-wise: Both the hostels and the computer centers are revamped. The main buildings of the campus are still under further development but are expected to be in maintenance soon. However, the mega hostels, known as J & K, are an enhanced sight of the campus. 

Academics

• The quality of professors or the methodology of their teaching is quite not up to the mark. Few professors of the institute somewhat still follow the old pedagogy and are sometimes not cooperative. On contrary, the newly appointed Ad-hoc faculties are supportive and are willing to guide students. 
• Students of the institute perform well in competitive examinations. Many made it to IITs, IIMs, or various international institutes as well.
• The Central Workshop and laboratories, substantially Fluid, Thermodynamics, and Metallurgical are not quite well maintained. 

Placement Reports:

A few major recruiting companies are (in respective branches) as follows. 

• CSE: Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle
• ECE: Amazon, Oracle Finance, Wipro, Mahindra Comviva
• EEE: Tata Steel, JSW Steel, L&T, BPCL
• ME: Tata Motors, L&T, Tata Steel, BPCL
• MME: JSW Steel, Vedanta, Tata Metaliks, Tata Steel
• CE: Simplex, L&T
• PIE: Tata Hitachi, JK Tyre, JK Paper, Tata Motors

FIITJEE, Rao Academy, Career Point, etc, are examples of coaching institutes that recruited as well. The highest package received was 30 LPA while the average salary was 12 LPA

Extracurricular Activities: 

The TechnoManagement fest, Ojass, and Cultural fest, Culfest are the major events of the institute. There are several automobile teams as well, like Team Phoenix, the aircraft team; Team Rays, the hybrid car team and Team Daksh, Off road car team.

This is the in-depth scenario of the institute.
