What is essentially wrong with Nirma University and how could those things be changed?

One of my friends, who is working in Cognizant, has studied Electronics & Communication Engineering at Nirma University. As per her insights, the following are the things essentially wrong with the University.

• If you are pursuing ECE and inclined towards programming, it is problematic.
• There are companies like Motorola, ARM, STM, and others with 7.5 points as cut-off criteria. Even if you miss the cut-off by a margin, yet you cannot sit for interviews in these companies.
• Some of the faculty is discouraging. They focus on bookish knowledge and are not open to new ideas. It is more like a school than a college.
• Most top-scoring students are believed to be Idols, and the average scorers do not get any spotlight.
• The labs are well-equipped, but most of the instruments do not work. Practical teaching is like spoon-feeding.
• Attendance is given utmost importance on the campus. You will find students worrying more about attendance than academics.
• You cannot afford to become a defaulter as there are consequences for it. The minimum attendance should be 85%.

Overall, the only way all this can go smoothly is to change the mentality by focusing on why and what to learn, future benefits, and practical approaches.
