B.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2025

4Placements2Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

The best arts and science college for culturals and exposure.

Placements: Around 70% of the students were placed in my course and batch. The highest package was 10LPA, the average was 4LPA, and the lowest package offered in 2025 was 2-3 LPA. About 40% of the students secured internships in TCS, Dellillote, Accenture, and Cognizant through the Mathematics course. The most common role offered in my course was as a Data Analyst.

Infrastructure: The auditorium is the only good facility at Ethiraj; beyond that, the infrastructure is quite average, and not all restrooms are neat and clean. Only a few buildings are well maintained, while many are in poor condition. I have friends who lived in the hostel for three years and experienced the terrible conditions firsthand. I wouldn't recommend anyone stay at Ethiraj Hostel. There are many good private hostels nearby that are a better choice. One can choose them instead of staying in the Ethiraj hostel just for the low fee and get sick and spend all your money in the hostel.

Faculty: Teaching-wise it is good at Ethiraj, 4/5 I would say. Teachers are knowledgeable and PhD/NET qualified only in the mathematics department. My course didn't make the students industry-ready. They are focused on studying and getting a good CGPA, that's it. Semester exams are not that tough, depending upon each semester and each exam. The pass percentage is 40/100.

Other: I chose this course because there is a wide range of opportunities available for mathematics and a very underrated course. The best thing about my course is that I will not need a coaching class for any competitive exams because maths would already teach you to be analytical and give you critical thinking knowledge. I think the syllabus could be modernized because the world is now into AI, so math-oriented with AI would be even more beneficial. If you want to have fun, trust me guys, Ethiraj is the best.

I am satisfied studying in this college with such good educational facilities, safety, and events.

Placements: Under UG, about 50% of students got placed from my college and some chose to pursue a post-graduation degree. The highest package is about Rs. 75,000 and the lowest package is about Rs. 20,000. The average package is about Rs. 50,000. Wipro, TCS, and Accenture are top companies where students got internships through course. Top roles offered are HR, management roles, code developer, and more.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good. We have classrooms with two big windows for less suffocation, proper tables, chairs, proper fans, and light. We even have our own department's computer laboratory. The variety of food in canteen is less, but it's cooked with quality. My college is well known for its events, culture, and sports. Hostel rooms and pretty good too. We have Apollo Shine on our campus for medical emergencies.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They are extremely good at English and experienced. They conduct 2 CAs before semester for our practice. In our upcoming computer and AI generation, this course is perfect. Semester exams are difficult, but you can crack them once you learn everything. Pass mark is above 40%.

Other: I chose this course as I was a commerce student, but didn't want to pursue B.Com and liked computers and code. They teach code and graphics and make us understand easily. To improve this course is to increase the laboratory period. There are two main cultural events in our college, enormous scholarship facilities, and extracurricular activities are awesome and provide us certificates.

One of the best colleges with very kind faculty members and a lot.

Placements: We literature students get the opportunity to learn to pen down our thoughts using different genres and language styles. More than 65% of students got placed in our college. Our college invites companies like Google, TCS, Wipro, HCL, RBS, and CTS to our campus for recruitment.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good. It gives us the school vibes. Staff take us to the library and let us read a lot of books to increase our vocabulary skills. They teach communication skills and public speaking skills for us to overcome our stage fear. I've never been to our college hostel but the food they provide is good and hygienic. They give us opportunities in sports like basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are very much helpful. They clear our doubts. Teachers are very kind and friendly. Semester exams are easy to clear. The passing percentage is 50-60%. Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. The way they teach makes us understand the concepts clearly.

When you join the college, don't be an introvert, as it won't take you anywhere.

Placements: B.Com general has three sections and each section has 73 students. The lowest package at the college is Rs.6,000, while the highest package at the evening college is Rs.76,000. Big Four companies, Infosys, Ford, TCS, and more recruit from the college. Most students get internships from these companies, with some getting internships at Deloitte for accounting roles.

Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi facilities on campus. Classrooms are very modern as they use smart boards and projectors to take classes. The library has many books, both fictional and non-fictional. Fiction is my favorite. I always read books from my college library.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified. Most of them have a Ph.D. This course is very helpful for students who want to start their career in the accounting field. The semester exams are not that tough. They are quite easy. The pass percentage for the exam is just 40 out of 100.

Is Ethiraj for you? Get inside scoop!

Placements: The highest package offered was 9 LPA, and the role required a minimum of 80% in semesters. The average package was 2.5 LPA. Internships are not provided to us by our college, but our curriculum has a compulsory internship which has to be looked for by the students personally and for a minimum of 30 days.

Infrastructure: There are no Wi-Fi facilities for the students, and the network is poor in most areas of the campus. The hostel is not very good but still works for the amount that they charge. Sports students have a separate hostel and have the best facilities provided to them. The college has a medical facility that operates within the college hours.

Faculty: The teaching is very helpful, and the quality is impeccable, with professors of over 15 years of experience. The curriculum is relevant. The semester examinations are moderate to highly difficult, and the continuous assessments are also moderate to highly difficult.

Other: I chose this course mainly because of the compulsory internship and the final year project component. The restrooms of the college could really use some serious work. There are various cultural fests and events that happen almost every day, and there are several external activity clubs for volunteering, entrepreneurship, etc. There is scholarship available both on merit and based on income.
