The course curriculum in my college is good. It is designed taking care of AICTE curriculum of the ministry of education and indsutry requirements. In my B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, I got the opportunity to indulge with the software development, web development, app development, programming, dealing with the real-world problems using different programming languages like C, Python, Java, etc. In my course curriculum, it includes Computer Network, Compiler Design, Java, Python programming, C programming, Data Structure and Algorithm, Embedded System, Digital Logic System, Engineering Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, Data Science, Machine Learning, Theory of computation, Linux Administration, Blockchain Technology, Database Management System, Engineering Drawing, etc. The curriculum prepares us for the real-world applications like it help in website development, application development, software development, software testing and handling many real-world projects. By handling the real world projects help in cntributing technology benefits to the society and with these skills of development helps in the hiring by industry in its full time job roles. The areas where the curriculum need to improve is that, it should minize the theory part of the course subjects and focus more on the practical implementation part. The coding programming part need to be more focussed by every students. The sudents should develop the ability to solve real-world problems with programmimg skills.

There are multiple companies that provide the internship opportunities to the students. Hexaview company offers the role Software Developer Intern to the 4th year students with the stipend of Rs 30,000 per month.

The projects generally are real-world basis which deals to solve the ongoing problems using different algorithms and programming languages. Like Remote Sensing for Data Analytics require Machine learning with some concepts of Quantum computing. In the Song Recommentation System Chatbot project, the porpose was to built the system such that it recommend songs on the basis of the chats done with the chatbot. It is required in the applications where the songs are basis for the constomer interaction. The project like house price prediction is for the purpose of prediction the price of the different houses in different localities on the basis of feature selection using Machine Learning algorithms.

The placements of my college is good. My companies like Hexaview, Simson Software Technology, Accenture, TCS, HCL, PVC, Ruby Technology, Techify, Deollite and many more companies visit our college every year. The students are elgible to sit for placements after the end of 3rd year of bachelor. The companies after the end of the 3rd year provide the internship with pre-placement offers, with later confirms to permanent placements. Some students directly sit for the placement at the end of the 7th semester and grab opportunities. Some of the students move towards out-campus placements for better package by the campany. The number of the job offers made to the Computer Science and Engineering department for on-campus was 60 and the eligible students were 120.
