I am absolutely satisfied because the faculty is very understanding, and there are good placements.
Placements: There is a high percentage of placements in B.A. (Hons) Psychology. However, paid internships are not provided; as students, we have to pay for internships in the psychology field. Internships are offered from the 2nd to 3rd year because the 1st year covers the basics of psychology.
Infrastructure: College campus is not big, but all the classrooms, labs, and library are in very good condition. The hostel facilities are good, and there is a canteen with a wide variety of food and a gym.
Faculty: Faculty, curriculum, and exams are good. The psychology faculty is very understanding and regularly attends classes to give lectures. They are helpful and not strict at all, always supporting students with any problems they face.
Other: There is a huge crowd during the odd semesters like 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th because the new academic year starts and there are selections for positions like president, vice president, etc. I chose the psychology course because I am interested in it, and I love listening to people’s problems without judging them. I enjoy helping to solve their problems. There are many fests in the college, including flash mobs 2 to 3 times a week and many more events.

A really good college and spent 3 years worth it.
Placements: College supports placements but I was in B.A. so there was no particular placement system recently. There is this company I forgot the name, but it is like some TP or tasks type company. I think TP and tasks play more. But B.Com can make something out of you.
Infrastructure: Campus and hostels are good. The infrastructure is great and can be settled easily. There is also the best college in every other sense except placements for B.A. others I don't know. College is a place where you can have the best college life with ups and downs. Food and mess system is awesome, you can also visit canteen and other cafes and stalls in college itself, with a walking distance of 800-900 meters. We have sector 32 market where you can buy anything you want, and also there's a street food market which is open in the evening.
Faculty: Exams and all the other factors above mentioned are top notch as you know it's affiliated with Punjab University so education and degree are top notch. The curriculum is well structured and efficient also the facilities are up to the point. From here you can continue you are course at Punjab University or any other college. Chandigarh Dav and Punjab University are great options for M.A. in psychology on merit basis, or you can give CUET and continue in any other central university.
Other: College has it's own fests and the crowd is absolutely awesome. College celebrates 2-3 fests. College clubs are best because they host fests very frequently. These are like NEST out of all other colleges.

The college crowd and college life are good.
Placements: There are no placements provided by our college for the given course. I had psychology. Hons and did not get any placement opportunities however we did get unpaid internship opportunities. This is the only drawback there is no placement provided for a bachelor. s program.
Infrastructure: The college and hostel infrastructure is really good. Surroundings are beautiful. There is Wi-Fi and AC in psychology labs, reading room, and library however only fans are there in classes. The canteen food is really good. Almost everything is available in the canteen to eat hostel food. I don't know much since I was a localite no hostel was needed.
Faculty: Teachers are quite qualified and knowledgeable. They gave us practical and real-life examples. The course is relevant I'm not sure if it makes us industry-ready since there were no visits only workshop sessions are there. Semester exams are quite average and one can easily pass if they are average in studying.
Other: I gained interest in psychology when I was in 11th standard so wanted to pursue it. I feel there should be more industry visits and placements should be given if not placements at least internships should be provided.

Good college for a non-attendee.
Placements: Good placements are provided at my college. Approximately 5 out of 10 students are placed on campus every year. The packages provided are pretty decent from 5 LPA to 10 LPA, it is decent college for graduation purpose.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is fine. There are no ACs in classrooms. There is Wi-Fi in the college. Three canteens are available along with two libraries, one of them is a study room. Proper laboratory and computer labs are available. Sports facilities are not good in the college, no proper ground is available but competitions are held frequently.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and helpful but some teachers are young which helps in building a good connection between students and teachers. The teaching quality is pretty decent and teachers are knowledgeable. This course I won't say is enough you need to pursue a postgraduate degree to get a decent entry into the job world. Semester exams are easy and pass percentage is good too.
