    one of the best bsc college for computer science

    Anonymous Posted on 17 Jun'26
    3.4

    Academics

    The syllabus covers java and python . Teachers have PhDs and help if you ask . However , they rely too much on slides . The biggest issue is the strict 75% attendance rule , leaving little time for self - study.

    College Infra

    The campus is beautiful . Classrooms have good AC and smart boards . Labs are modern with fast PCs , though a few lag. The library is huge and great for study . WI-FI is fast in blocks but weak outside.

    Campus Life

    Life in our campus is fun. There are many coding and cultural clubs . The students crowd is very friendly . The only downsides are strict rules about uniforms are gate timing , and the hostel mess food is just average.

    Placements

    Placements are okay here. Mass IT companies visit , but they prefer B.Tech students .B.Sc. students mostly get entry -level support roles . You can get a 3-4 LPA package if your coding skills are strong.

    Value For Money

    Fees are quite high compared to other colleges. You pay for great labs and the big SOA brand name. But for a B.Sc. degree , the salary you get back makes the high cost feel a bit less value foor money.

    Overhyped college with zero value for money.

    Anonymous Posted on 2 Jun'26
    BCA - Batch of 2025-01-01

    Academics

    I am studying BCA only because I couldn't get admission in a better college. The quality of teaching is very poor — most teachers just read from slides and do not explain concepts properly. The curriculum is outdated and does not include recent developments like AI, Cloud Computing, or Cybersecurity. What we study is completely theoretical and does not make us job-ready. There is very little practical exposure. Assignments are repetitive and meaningless. Exam papers are tough but teaching is weak, so many students fail or barely pass.

    College Infra

    The college infrastructure is highly overrated. Classrooms are old with broken benches and no proper ventilation. Laboratories have outdated computers that take forever to boot. Wi-Fi is extremely slow and frequently disconnects. The library lacks recent books and reference materials. Sports facilities are in poor condition with damaged equipment. Hostel rooms are small, dirty, and poorly maintained. The canteen food is unhygienic — many students fall sick after eating there. Living spaces are not cleaned regularly, and bathrooms often have no water supply.

    Campus Life

    The campus is huge but not well-maintained. Best feature is the greenery, but the worst features are the old buildings, broken roads, and dirty washrooms. There are some student activities like the annual fest, but participation is low because of strict rules. Students are generally okay but teachers and support staff are rude and unhelpful. The location is far from the city; there are no good hospitals nearby in case of emergencies. Security is average — not very strict. Ragging is not common, but senior-junior interactions are minimal. Not a very safe feeling after 7 PM.

    Placements

    Placements at SOA for BCA are extremely poor. Less than 30% of students get placed. Most of them get mass recruiter jobs with very low salaries. The highest package offered was around ₹3.5 LPA (to a BCA student), but that was just one or two students. Average salary is only ₹2 LPA — that too for support roles, not core IT. The placement process was disorganized and stressful. College placement cell is not supportive — they just bring a few companies and leave the rest to students. Most of my batchmates are still unemployed or working in non-IT jobs.

    Value For Money

    The course fee is around ₹1.2 lakh per year, which is extremely high for the quality of education and facilities provided. We are paying for expensive infrastructure and placements, but getting nothing in return. The teaching is poor, labs are outdated, placements are a joke. I completely regret joining this college. You will not get your money's worth at all. Better to join a smaller college with lower fees and better practical training.

    Academics

    I am a b.tech mechanical engineering student and having a great experience in SOA,ITER. The faculties are really co-operative and experienced. Overall the acedemics experience is top notch. Will suggest anyone wanting to get admission here.

    College Infra

    The college infrastructure is really good,clean and calm environment. The labs are all packed with essential devices. The students get the best practical experience . The lab incharges are highly experienced and have a good knowledge.

    Campus Life

    The campus life is too good.

    Placements

    The placement record are pretty average,as it also depends on the student and the faculties both. But if u study hard , make your all concept clear getting placement is not a big deal ,as many companies come for campus hiring.
