Placements, college life, good seniors, and no ragging.

Placements: 50–70 percent of students get placement. The lowest package is 1.5–3 LPA, and the highest package is 6–8 LPA. Top recruiters include Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, IBM, Amazon, Deloitte, PwC, and Ernst & Young. Around 70–80 percent of students get internships from our college. Roles include financial analyst / banking executive in finance, banks, and financial services, and tax consultant / auditor advising on taxation and performing audits.

Infrastructure: Well-equipped subject-specific labs, reading rooms, a large collection of books, seminar halls and spaces are used for workshops, guest lectures, and academic events. Regular classrooms are spacious and maintained for different courses. Playground available. The college itself does not provide hostel facilities.

Faculty: Teaching quality is very good, they are helpful and kind. The course curriculum is relevant and makes the students industry-ready. Around 90 percent of students pass the semester in my course, and in the final year, around 85 percent of students graduated from the college.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Around 50% of the students from my college are placed in my course. The average package is around 4 LPA. I don't know much about that but many top companies are engaged with my college. Every single student from my college got an internship from my college for the betterment of the students and knowledge about their future studies. I don't have any role in my college yet but I will.

Infrastructure: There are many facilities available in my college. Every single thing, like classrooms are well maintained, and they do regular renovations in college. College canteen is also quite good, and the prices are so less. Many games and sports facilities are also available in my college with skilled teachers.

Faculty: Teachers are so good and knowledgeable about their stream and other streams also. They are so kind and helpful also. Curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready for sure. There's no difficulty in exams for me just because of the teachers. I bet whoever attends the lectures and listens to teachers also passes with good marks.

Other: I am always interested in commerce background, although my dream is to crack UPSC and be an IPS officer but I can manage everything. There's nothing left for the people of my department for my opinion to improve anything about college or course. They did everything well. College events are my favourite ones because they invite many celebrities and famous singers to my college events and I love to enjoy.

Overall a good college to take admission and quite friendly environment.

Placements: Almost 30% of students got placed from our college and placement nowadays at our college is quite good. I will recommend this college to any student who has a doubt about admission to this college. 98% of students this year did internships as it's necessary now.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available to us. Library is open to us every time even on vacation to help a student get help in their course and finish their syllabus on time. Canteen food is quite nice but not healthy to have on a daily basis.

Faculty: Teachers are well-behaved and polite with us. We have a friendly connection with our teachers. Semester exams are quite difficult but we prefer notes from our teachers and clear semesters. The passing percentage is not so high because of the toughness of the exam it's around 60%. Faculty members are quite helpful to students and also friendly.

Other: The best thing is I can prepare for other gov exams as it's not a very difficult course. Fests happen quite often and scholarship is quite good.

Well-structured course with vibrant campus life.

Placements: I was part of the B.Com honors, batch 2022-2025 at City College. Around 50% of students in our course are successfully placed through campus recruitment. The highest package offered is 2.40 LPA, while the lowest package offered is around 1.50 LPA. Top recruiting companies included Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young and KPMG. About 30 percent of students secured internships during the pre-final year. The most common role is accountant.

Infrastructure: The course and department are well-equipped with modern facilities that support both academic and research activities. Classrooms are spacious and fitted with boards. The central library is a major highlight, offering a vast collection of books, journals, and e-resources with quiet reading zones and computer systems for student use.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good with a focus on practical learning. Teaching quality is good with a focus on conceptual clarity. The curriculum is industry-relevant. Semester exams are too difficult with pass percentage of around 80-90 percent.

Other: I pursued B.Com honors, batch 2022-2025. I chose this course for its strong foundation in finance and accounting. The course is well-structured, but more practical exposure and internships would help. The campus has great fest, crowd, and good connectivity.

Recruiters are good, and you can easily secure placements through this college.

Placements: 75 percent.30,000 is the highest, 25,000 is the lowest, and 28,000 is the average. At least 65 percent is required for accountants, audit officers, or tax officers. There are many opportunities in B.Com Honours, like chartered accountants. You must be qualified with 60 percent for an MBA, and having extra skills will help.

Infrastructure: The following are available in our college: labs, a common room, a sports ground, a library, and classrooms. There are many benefits to this college. The sports quota is also available for those students who are really good at sports. So, be punctual now.

Faculty: All teachers are well-qualified, with Ph.D., double M.Com, and double graduation degrees. They always help through extracurricular activities and are helpful in launching students into the industry. All teachers are strict in the examination hall, so it's difficult, but the passing percentage is 36 percent.

Other: Join this college and make your career bright.

Really good and helpful faculty and teaching staff but not very satisfied with the infrastructure.

Placements: There are not many placement opportunities. It's just study-based. Many students are unemployed after passing or are not happy with whatever they are doing currently for livelihood. In B.Com (H), scopes are high if only students know about that. It would be better if someone opts for CA or such courses after B.Com.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice. There are no hostel facilities even for girls. There are many hostels or PGs nearby for students' accommodation. The lab is quite nice and accessible along with the departmental library where we may get books related to courses. The canteen is also nice but prices are high there so we are less likely to use it.

Faculty: The college faculty is quite helpful. All teachers in our department are very knowledgeable and competent in teaching. They are also very supportive and personally helpful to students. Exams are held every 6 months. The difficulty level is not much. If students study well, they can easily ace exams.
