Several Reddit posts highlight concerns like weak teaching, aggressive marketing, and inconsistent academic quality:

“They don’t teach anything and professors r below average” 
“Parul is only good for fun college life not for studies.” 
“Worst option … it's the BBA” 

However, some students report success in core technical and research streams:

A B.Tech CSE student said: “I did internship at ISRO, I have 2 publications … good professors … found opportunity to work on research” .

? Recommendations

• Choose Parul if you're in core engineering, pharmacy, design, and value NAAC
