This information is for AIT and institutes that are similar in ranking to AIT. However, the faculty and placements of the institute cannot be compared to others like RV or MSRIT.

Someone I know attended the institute and her experience was not that good. 

The majority of the degree holders from this institute and similar institutes are shifted to the position of clerks in the companies based on services; companies that are under the officials of the institute. This happens because there is no concept of placement in such institutes.

The Acharya Institute of Technology is a four-tier institute and as it is usual for four-tier institutes in India, this institute also holds pool campus placements.

Placement is only a possibility when an engineering company is in need of engineers who are skilled and look for such individuals in different colleges, often offering packages of 60 LPA to the successful candidates.

Most degree holders from four-tier colleges work as clerks in the services-based companies with a package of about 2-3 LPA.

CSE is the most in demand engineering course. Due to its scope and popularity it is better to choose CSE for moving your career ahead. But students interested in pursuing Telecommunication Engineering can always go for that.

Yes, there is a 100% chance, you'll get CSE at the Acharya Technology Institute with 18K in COMEDK.

However, there are some other universities that are worth more than Acharya IT that is also available.

• Kammavari Sangha Institute of Technology, Kanakapura Road - You will find a lot of coders here. You need to find them because they don't show up in college every time)
• BNM institute of technology Banashankari -. It's also acceptable for specific tight regulations.
• Dayanand Sagar at Kanakapura Road
• JSS Academy of Technical Education

These are the colleges in COMEDK that are below 20k and over 10k. 

If you are a Karnataka resident, you may get the right college for whatever divisions you choose to graduate. But you might find it a little tougher to get a college during the first round of counseling if you are from outside Karnataka.

The CSE department of Acharya Institute of Technology is quite good, considering the overall educational facilities, hostels, and environment. A friend of mine attended the institute. Here is his review regarding the facilities provided by the institute.

• Comparing with other departments, the CSE department is quite decent, with good laboratories, clean classrooms, and overall good infrastructure.
• The environment inside the campus of Acharya Institute of Technology is quite good for students to study peacefully. Candidates having doubts about the internal environment can clarify the same from internal faculties.
• There is an almost equal ratio of North Indians and South Indians inside the campus.
• The hostels provided by Acharya Institute of Technology are good, compared to hostels of other institutes. There are double and triple sharing rooms, which cost around Rs. 1.1 and Rs. 1.47 lakhs per annum respectively. Inside the rooms, the institute provides tables and chairs to study. There are medical facilities available inside the campus.
• For internet services, the institute provides LAN for laptops only inside the rooms. There is WIFI connectivity at the corridor, where most social networking and online shopping sites are blocked. But, these sites can be accessed through LAN after 5 PM.
• Talking about the food in hostels, there is a 3-time meal system- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Overall, the food is considered to be good, with both rice and chapatti in lunch and dinner. Sumber is a must.
