What are the pros and cons of MNIT Jaipur?

One of my close friends was a student at MNIT Jaipur and told me about the reality of the institute that is not known to many. The worst part, he claimed, was the poorly structured curriculum of the first year that hardly had any CS subjects. He was taught Engineering Design, Mechanical Fundamentals, Electrical Fundamentals, Electronics communications, and Chemistry but had no relation whatsoever with the field he was interested in.

It was only after the 6th semester that CS subjects like JAVA, Web Development, App Development, and Machine Learning were introduced. Again, the focus is only on theoretical knowledge, and no practical skills are imparted to the students. 

I feel the college should make some amendments to improve the academics like students should be given more freedom to choose subjects and the compulsory attendance rule should be removed

Overall, I feel MNIT Jaipur is not the right place if you are genuinely passionate about coding. Go for this college only if your focus is to get placed.
