The infrastructure provided by the university is well above needs.

Placements: Students were eligible for placement from the third year itself for PPO, and so. There are several companies that visited Thakur throughout the year, and many students also got placed off-campus. I heard that a student from Computer Science got into Google with a 72 LPA. You could visit the TNP site for more details.

Infrastructure: There were various fests throughout the year, mainly the Varsity Week, which took place during the month of March. Other events included the Business Fair, Quiz Fest, Film Fest, and several others as well. The library offered a wide range of books—from fiction to business, from finance to religion and several books in different languages. CU also provided a computer lab at the top of the library. In addition, it had departmental libraries. It had a large indoor stadium with an attached gym.

Faculty: Well, there were a lot of knowledgeable faculty members who knew what they were teaching, but what they lacked was in transmitting that knowledge to students. The student-to-faculty ratio was 20:1. Exams were easy. I personally scored a 9+ CGPA just by studying a day before. There were the ISEs, i.e., Internal Semester Exams, where they took the average of the best two marks. And there was a 60-mark end-of-semester exam.

The best college from my experience.

Placements: The placement and job opportunities were very good. Every year, we got many research scholars and Ph.D. aspirants. Every year, many new students got selected as associate professors in some renowned colleges of India with a good salary package of about 15 LPA to 16 LPA. The university arranged internship opportunities for the students, helped us with the Smart India Hackathon and other hackathons, and gave us the freedom to go to other institutions to do our internships. It also helped us with breaks and all.

Infrastructure: The syllabus of the course was well covered with various important topics, with a paper on english reading and writing skills which was mandatory to pass each of semesters. I would rate 8 out of 10 to Cotton hostels. They were good. Every student residing in a hostel became like a family member. There were 6 hostels of Cotton University. The food was good. Seats were limited in hostels. The hostel fees were not much, but still less than those PGs out there near the college.

Faculty: Faculty members there was highly qualified. They gave their best each day so that no student lost out on any knowledge. The course was completed well and ahead of exams so that students got their solo time to prepare themselves well. Exams were CGPA-based. Each semester consisted of two exams one of 30 marks and the other of 100 marks for both theory and practical. The 5th semester had a minor project, and the 6th semester was fully practical-based.

Courses are very affordable as it is a state government university.

Placements: Here, we get many courses and many things on projects. We have our guide. From the 6th semester, students are eligible for placements. Companies like DXC Technology, Accenture, Infosys, TCS, Mu Sigma, and Tech Mahindra visit our college. Half of the students got placed in our year. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the lowest package is 3 LPA.

Infrastructure: A gym and canteens are present on the campus. The library is also good, and it has many books. Hostels are open till around 11 PM. The campus closes after 6 or 7 PM. The library is open till around 9 PM.

Faculty: There are ample faculty members for us. They are very kind, friendly, and very cooperative learning. We like the HOD Padma Lalitha mam the most, and because of her strictness, we are in a great position now. There are assignments monthly twice. Teachers are very friendly and what we learn we get the same in exams also. Sai Krishna Kanth sir guides us. Our project in charge guided us in a very good manner.

Other: The campus life at Cotton University is the best. Various extracurricular activities are conducted. Festivals and functions take place frequently. Overall, Cotton University has a very good environment, keeping students stress-free.

I like the campus very much.

Placements: Students with bachelor's and master's degrees usually opt for placements, while those pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics typically do not. This is common in Ph.D. programs everywhere, as students often seek post-doctoral positions abroad. Therefore, placement information is less relevant for Ph.D. students. For other degrees, the average package ranges from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 INR per annum, with the highest going up to 10 million INR. Popular companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft regularly recruit students. Hundreds of companies visit for recruitment, and almost 100% of bachelor’s degree students get placed, though it is around 0% for Ph.D. students as they do not usually attend interviews. My plan is to pursue a post-doctoral position, preferably abroad, as it significantly enhances my career prospects.

Infrastructure: There are a total of 4 boys' hostels and 3 girls' hostels. Seats in these hostels are allocated based on merit, with each hostel accommodating at least 60 students. The quality of meals in the hostels is average but acceptable, as the mess is managed by the student body, and the fees are minimal (2,000-2,500 INR). If a hostel seat is not available, there are many PG options around the college or within a 1 km radius.

Faculty: The syllabus for the Physics course is divided into three terms, covering a variety of subjects. Students have the option to select from four advanced subjects. A research project conducted between August and July is compulsory for all students.
