I am from JUET (BTech CSE, hosteller), and this is my honest experience at Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology.
I chose this college because at the time they were showing around 214% placement stats, which looked very attractive.
After spending 4 years here, I want to share the ground reality so future students can make an informed decision.
⚠️ Some Serious Incidents That Changed My Perspective
I am sharing these as things I personally witnessed or were widely known among students. These incidents raised serious concerns about safety, response systems, and transparency.
1. Firing incident inside campus (2022)
In 2022 around October month, a fight happened between students.
After that, a day scholar brought outsiders into the campus.
There was gun firing inside the campus, even though guards were present.
This made many of us question:
→ How secure is the campus if such things can happen?
2. Student death in hostel (late night) 2025
In 2025 March, a 2nd-year student fell/jumped from the hostel corridor around 3–4 AM.
What shocked many students:
- No immediate response
- He was taken to hospital around 6 AM
By then, he had passed away.
Many students felt this incident was not openly discussed, and things were normalized very quickly.
3. Medical Lacking Leads To Death (May 2025)
In May 2025, one of the student in 3rd year had a cardiac arrest in hostel.
What happened:
- Doctor was not immediately available in medical centre
- Around 10–15 minutes delay
- Doctor was totally confused in handling the situation
- Time also spent in formalities before shifting him outside
We lost him on the way.
This made us question:
→ Is the medical system prepared for real emergencies?

📚 Academics
- Syllabus is outdated
- More focus on lab manuals (printing/handwritten) than real learning
- Even though everyone copies from GPT/online, still forced to print
- Practical knowledge is limited
Faculty:
- Most teachers are qualified (IIT/NIT backgrounds)
- But many have been teaching for long → low energy in classes
Classes + labs exist, but:
→ Real learning mostly depends on self-study (YouTube, etc.)
💻 Coding Culture
- Coding culture is moderate
- No strong push from college to learn new tech
- No active tech clubs (mostly inactive/formal)
Reality:
→ Growth depends on you, not the environment
💼 Placements (2026 Reality)
This is the most important part.
- Only 1 company (PropVivo) came physically on campus
- That too was brought by a student, not T&P
Rest:
- Drives mostly happened at JIIT Noida campus
- Students had to travel for rounds
Issues observed:
- Many companies didn’t even complete hiring process
- Some companies looked questionable/unreliable
- Mostly sales roles instead of tech
Even companies like Infosys:
→ Visited other campuses but not JUET Guna
📊 Actual stats (approx):
- Avg package: 4–5 LPA
- ~30–40% placed in tech
- ~20–30% in sales roles
- Rest unplaced
👉 Honest truth:
If you are an average student, placement is very difficult
Most good offers are:
→ Off-campus or cracked by individual effort
🏢 Infrastructure & Hostel
- Campus is green, peaceful, clean
- Hostel is good
- WiFi has some issues sometimes
- Mess food is good (especially breakfast)
Labs & library:
→ All decent and usable
Gym:
→ Recently improved
🎉 College Life
- Hostel life is enjoyable
- Peaceful environment (no rush)
But:
- Limited exposure
- Location is isolated
- Some unhealthy habits (like smoking etc.) are common among students
📍 Location Reality
- Campus is on highway, but still isolated
- Guna town is ~30 km away
- No IT exposure, no industry nearby
Internships:
→ You have to find everything yourself
→ No strong college support
💸 Fees vs ROI
- Total fees: ~16 lakh (with hostel)
👉 Not worth it (in my opinion) because:
- Weak placement support
- Limited exposure
⚠️ Management & Transparency (My Experience)
- Lack of clear communication in serious situations
- Placement stats and reality feel different
- Internal coordination among faculties is not strong
✅ Pros
- Peaceful, green campus
- Good hostel & food
- Less distractions → can focus if self-driven
❌ Cons
- Placements (major issue)
- Outdated academics
- Low exposure due to location
- Pressure from faculty
- Lack of structured support
🎯 Final Verdict
If you have better options (especially in Noida, Gurgaon, Pune, etc.)
→ Choose those
If you still join:
→ Be fully self-dependent
→ Focus on skills from Day 1
→ Don’t rely on college for placements
💭 My Biggest Regret
I should have chosen a college in a tech city, where I could get:
- better exposure
- off-campus opportunities
- real industry environment
