me and friend was looking for a college in gr Noida but only few colleges were agreed to give us cs branch (DRONACHARYA COLLEGE and GNIOT ) but due to budget constraints we were considering DRONACHARYA but when I researched about it deeply I found this college doesn't host any major fest and do not have good clubs and the worst part is i heard someone say this college is "school2.0" I mean it is very strict towards academic and attendance I don't it's true or not anyone from this college or anybody about this college please tell me should we go for it as we don't have any good options and also I heard about the gr Noida colleges that admission are closing in cs and ece branches is it true

​

I'm trying to finalize a college and could really use some guidance from seniors.

My JEE rank isn't great, so I've been looking for colleges where I can realistically get CSE/IT-related branches. After a lot of searching, these are the options I've found:

- LNCT Excellence (CSE)

- SIRT (CSE/IT)

- SVIET (CSE)

- Shivalik College (CSE)

- NIET (IT Twinning)

I know these probably aren't the most impressive choices. The thing is, I don't have any engineer bhaiya, cousin, senior, or relative to guide me. I've shortlisted these completely through my own research, YouTube videos, websites, and student reviews.

My family's budget matters, so ROI is an important factor. That's why I'm confused. Everyone says "skills matter more than college," but at the same time people strongly prefer certain colleges over others.

- Is NIET worth the extra fees?

- Is SVIET actually as bad as some people say?

- Are LNCTE and SIRT genuinely better options?

- Which one would you choose if placements, fees, and ROI all matter?

Also, if there are better colleges that I can realistically get for CSE/IT/AI/DS, please suggest them.

Would really appreciate honest opinions from current students or recent graduates.
