Infrastructure: Hostel facility was available in the college. There were separate hostels for boys and girls. The hostel environment was good. The rooms were available for sharing and had separate bathrooms. The hostel facility was good. There was a mess available, it offered hygienic food. Wi-Fi facility was available in the hostel.

Really, the best infrastructure.

Placements: Most of the students got placed in many companies, and most of the juniors also got placed in internships. The highest package is about 8 LPM, and the lowest package is about 2 LPM. About half of the students got placed in companies.

Infrastructure: Labs are not well-maintained in my college, and the quality of tables and chairs in the college is not good because a lecture is about 3 hours, and the tables are made of wood. Then we face injury sometimes. The medical facilities are not available in the college, but the food in the canteen is good.

Faculty: The difficulty level of the semester exam is easy to moderate, even sometimes it is very easy, and sometimes it is very hard. The course curriculum makes us industry-ready. The pass percentage in my course is 70 - 80%. Teachers are very helpful to us, and they help us with everything.

Other: Scholarships are given to us in a timely manner.

Review of Ethiraj College for Women.

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 get internships through the course. Top roles offered are HR, management roles, code developer, and many 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 are 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 the semester for our practice. In our upcoming computer and AI generation, this course is perfect. Semester exams are difficult, but we can crack them once we learn everything. Pass mark is above 40%.
