Overall Rating
It is overall a good university with a very good atmosphere. It offers a variety of courses, and I am currently pursuing B.Tech in CSE. The faculty here is mostly from other states and with good qualifications.
 

Academics Rating
I am pursuing B.Tech in CSE here and I am from 2022 batch. I got admission in this university through JEE Mains. You can get admission here in the CSE branch if you get around 85-90 percentile in JEE Mains. You can also get admission through CUET exam. If you are a student from JSK or any other student who is not getting scores as per NIT or IIT criteria, I would recommend you join this university.
 

Faculty Rating
Faculty here is quite qualified I must say. Most of my professors are either from NIT or IIT, also their communication skills are quite well. It entirely depends on a student if he / she wants to study or not. There are no such restrictions here. If you have any doubts, the teachers are there to resolve them.
 

Placement Rating
I don't know about other department but almost 60-70% students of the CSE branch get placed. Most of them have been offered an average package of around 6-7 LPA. But I am glad that at least the university gives placement opportunity to the students to show their skills.
 

Hostel Rating
Hostel life is quite good if you have friends here. There are plenty of rooms in the hostel, but you have to take care of your belongings. Girls’ hostel gates are closed at 8:00 pm but for boys there are no time restrictions. For girls, you can go outside the college campus till 7:00 pm but for boys it's 9:00 pm.
 

Infrastructure Rating
There are ACs in the lecture halls and there are sufficient numbers of fans in the classrooms. They don’t have generator connections with the classrooms, and it gets really suffocating during power cut. The lecture rooms are supported by generators. There are separate buildings for different departments.
 

Campus Rating
I would say truly that there are not so many fests being conducted in SMVDU. It is generally conducted 1-2 times a year. Although, there are number of other events that are regularly organised in the auditorium. Speaking of sports facilities, it has a quite healthy environment especially cricket and football. Also, there are many sports program that are held annually.

    Overall I would rate my university a 7 out of 10. There are many good things inside the university like very nice hostels and tidy rooms. the faculty is also very friendly and easy to understand. The infrastructure of the university is also very good. The negative sides of the university are not up to the mark mess food quality and lower than expected packages. The blocks of each department are located very far away from the hostels.... Read Full Review

    I am a B.Tech student studying in CSE, 2nd year in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University. I choose S.M.V.D.U. because it is the only university in Jammu and Kashmir which provides placements with a decent package. Also, the infrastructure is very good. The university provides all sorts of facilities to the students including hostel mess, free Wi-Fi and all other things which are necessary for the students. The faculty is very supportive and helpful in nature.... Read Full Review

    Overall Rating
    All in all, the university is great for studying and preparing for GATE and many other competitive exams. Students are encouraged by the faculty for the same too. The venue might be a little discouraging in terms of job opportunities, because it's in Katra but still, the university is pretty decent with its placements. Still personally, I like the venue and the environment here, it's healthy. So all in all, it's a great and peaceful university to attend, with decent future opportunities.... Read Full Review

  • SMVDU a moderate college for overall performers
     

    Overall Rating
    My overall experience here is neutral. Everything here is just average or a little above average. The location of the college is in a very remote area. It is very difficult as the transportation is very scarce. You literally have to wait for two straight hours or more to catch the local matadors which leave you at the nearest highway from where you can catch the bus to nearest towns or cities like Jammu, Udhampur or Katra. This makes it is very difficult for students to do up down from universit... Read Full Review
