How is NIT Raipur for MCA?

I studied MCA at NIT Raipur, and completed my degree a few years back. Here are some pros and cons of joining this stream at NIT Raipur- 

Pros-

1. You’ll get an NIT tag.
2. You’ll be offered a decent package, given that you stand eligible for the placements.

Cons-

1. The faculty for MCA is underqualified. The teachers don’t solve the students’ doubts properly. If argued with, they might reduce your marks in the examinations.
2. You can’t choose your elective paper in the 5th semester.
3. The HOD and other faculty members aren’t cooperative or supportive towards their students.
4. Although you’ll sit for placements with CS and IT engineering students, many companies don’t allow MCA students to apply. However, the same companies do pick MCA students from some of the other NITs.
5. Sometimes when well-known brands visit the campus with placement offers, many MCA students are already busy with their internships.
6. You’ll have to score 60% and above throughout your academic career. Failing to do so means you’ll most probably not be placed.
7. Even if you stand eligible for placements, getting placed is still a challenge.
8. The fee is higher in comparison to the educational and hostel facilities provided by this college for MCA students.
9. B.Tech students are always prioritized and kept above MCA students, which is a bit unfair.

Thus, NIT Raipur isn’t the best place to pursue your MCA degree from.
