Your chances of growth get lowered at Reva University. If you have a good rank, consider other colleges.

• The university has invested a lot in marketing and that is why there’s hype outside. 
• Opt for colleges that have a lot of clubs and committees and focus gives importance to cultural activities as well. REVA University lacks this. This will not only develop your personality but also improves your CV.
• It is a deemed university and the curriculum is not much updated. You will get less opportunities at the university
• The student crowd is not good, and the people of the college are not cooperative at all.

If you take admission here, you will regret your decision for sure. This is coming after all the frustration of the students due to lack of exposure, and the education it failed to provide. 

An institute relies upon its environment and exposure, apart from that other things definitely only depend upon you. Herein, environment interprets to the competition you have in your batch, while exposure translates to pursuing things in the institute alongside academics.

If you are living somewhere around or in Delhi, then opting for IITM Janakpuri can be a better option than others. The institute offers great exposure in terms of city life. You will get a chance to attend the biggest fests like IITD Randezvou, AIIMS Pulse, and DTU’s fests. 

However, if you get options better than this, then choosing them will not relevantly affect you. Make an informed decision whenever you can. 

My sister used to be a student of Thapar University so I think I can give you some information regarding the institute. 

Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of the TU.

Pros-

• The infrastructure is really good. You will get Wi-Fi at around 4Mbps, Sports facilities are good, and the accommodation is really good.
• There are a lot of research opportunities that you can pursue without a lot of questions.
• You will have to attend college only 5 days a week. You get off for 2 days and you can travel around a city.
• Patiala is a nice city. It has all the basic amenities.
• There are a lot of cultural events and societies you can be a part of. The campus is really good.
• The placements are really good. According to the recent statistics, the highest package offered was 28.5 LPA.

Cons-

• There are teachers who are fresher in the field of teaching and lack the skills required. 
• There are a lot of cultural activities, but the students raise the money only by the exterior motive of making money.
• There are societies like Student Alumni Interaction Cell (SAIC), with biased selection criteria. 
• There is the 75% attendance criterion.
• There is a 50% Punjab quota. You might see people with half your JEE marks in the same branch as you are.

Apart from this, the placement report of the college is good. Just keep your pace and give your best in your studies.

Lucknow University is renowned to offer a bunch of different courses, within which B.Tech is a freshly inaugurated branch that started anew in the year 2017. 

• Since it is extremely new in cases alike, the placements are not highly fruitful at present. In light of this fact, there is currently no alumni network as well. 
• Unlike many other universities, you are expected to work harder than anticipated, so as to grab a position in the job sector.
• Your career essentially depends upon how ready you are to prepare in the best way possible. 
• No amount of external guidance can assist you in gaining a fruitful career prospect, let alone the university. Prepare thoroughly while pursuing any course you are inclined towards. 
• You can also choose to prepare for either of the major competitive exams, GATE, CAT, IES among others.

Moreover, only choose Lucknow University if you are devoid of any options. Other than that, there is absolutely no issue in joining Lucknow University. 

A few of my friends are alumni from IIIT Allahabad. The scope of the Dual Degree BTech + MTech course is good.

• For the first 3 years of the course, the curriculum is exactly the same. All the students (Dual Degree as well as BTech) attend the same classes, sit for the same exams, get the same results together. However, from the fourth year onwards, the specialization courses start.

• Once you complete the dual degree course, you will be eligible to sit for the same placement rounds as BTech guys. The results of which depend entirely on your knowledge & skills you have acquired during last 4-5 years.

• However, Dual Degrees will especially help you if you are interested in R&D areas.

The only reason that the cutoff is a little bit lower for Dual Degree courses is that many of you might be hesitant to spend one extra year in college. But for a college like IIIT Allahabad, it is worth spending an extra year. Sadly, in 2018 the 5-year dual degree courses were disbanded due to some administrative instability.
