Indira Gandhi Polytechnic College, Indira Gandhi Group of Institutions

Admission: The teachers at this college are super friendly and always willing to help out. They're mostly M.Teach qualified and have cleared the GATE exam. The semester exams aren't too tough, and most students pass easily with 80-90%. But you gotta have a good grasp of the basics. The only downside is the huge curriculum and not enough time. Some chapters could definitely be cut to make things easier.

Placement: Placements were pretty good even during the COVID pandemic when I finished my diploma. The college helps us a lot with placements. We have a WhatsApp group where they post all the company details and job packages. If you're interested, you can apply through that group. The college also guides us through the whole interview process. About 80% of students got placed, and the average package is around 3 LPA. Most students end up in quality departments of companies. I got a job as a quality control trainee. The first 6 months are like an internship, and if you perform well, you might get a full-time role later.

Campus: The college campus is nice, surrounded by trees in a quiet area. They have cool stuff like projectors, virtual labs, and an E-library. The classrooms are big, and classes are 45 minutes long. I lived in the hostel, where the food wasn't great, but the rooms were big and cleaned daily. We have a sports ground, but it's always empty 'cause no one has time to play.

Admission: The teachers here are super knowledgeable and nice, but they also keep us in line. The courses really prepare us for the industry, and we learn a lot every semester. Some semesters are easier than others, but you gotta work for that 60% pass rate.

Placement: Around 70-80% of us got placed, which is pretty good. The highest starting salary was around 20k, while most of us got around 10k on average. NEST Group and Dewton Company are the top companies that hire here. Everyone in our batch got internships at Bosch through our course. We got roles like Junior Technician, Junior Trainee, and Assistant Engineer in Electrical and Electronics.

Campus: The classrooms here have good facilities like ventilation, smart boards, labs, and a library. The food options in the mess and canteen are great, and there's emergency transportation and first aid in the medical center. We also have sports teams for different games that play every year.
