College is good! Go for it.
Placements: In eco-honours, around 80 students are in the college, and if we talk about packages, it depends on the students as to how much effort they put into their degree and also take part in curricular activities that help them make a better resume, and roughly, we can estimate INR 3 to 5 lacs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is too good, and food in the mess is also good. They provide complete clean hygiene, and yes, they do have proper labs, AC classrooms, a library, and a reading hall. The college campus is also good, and of course, people are the best everywhere in Chandigarh.
Faculty: Yes, teachers are really very helpful. And semester exams are not that hard. If we talk about pass percentage, 33% is required to pass the exams. Eco-honours is such a demanding course because it is really helpful to get knowledge in the field of finance.
Other: If I talk about my decision to opt for this course, I would have a great interest in the field of finance!

I am satisfied, and faculty members are the best.
Placements: Many students did not get placed, but it depends on your sincerity. Top recruiting companies of our college are Amazon and many others. About 30% of the students got an internship. Top roles offered to the students are sales and marketing. Everything is perfect here, and they gave internships. It is the best college.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are good and well-developed. In most of the wings, they have old infrastructure, but they are good. Labs and library are well-developed. Hostel and mess are average like every hostel, but students can stay happily.
Faculty: Teachers are good, very helpful, well-knowledgeable and qualified. Teaching quality is very good. Their nature is very friendly, and they help students in every situation. They also give personal time if any students face any difficulties. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready.
Other: I have chosen this course because I like economics, and I heard about this college and their course many times. It is one of the best courses. Everything is perfect, so there is no need to improve. Events are the best time on the campus, and fests are well-organised. Extracurricular activities are also good.

It is a good college, and it is famous for its B.Com course.
Placements: Not many companies visit our college for B.A. (Hons.) in Economics course placements. Mostly the companies come for B.Com and M.Com. Deloitte, E&Y and Policy Bazaar are few companies which come and prefer B.Com students. The salary package offered is not very high. Only 2% of the students get placed here.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Wi-Fi facility is available only for registered laptops. Classrooms are good. Few classrooms are air-conditioned. Medical, sports and games facilities are also good. The canteen has limited options on the menu. There is a juice corner too which is great during the summer season.
Faculty: Few teachers teach well, and they are qualified. For B.A. (Hons.) in Economics course, there are options to choose among many subjects which are really good. B.Com faculty members are knowledgeable and qualified. The course curriculum does not make students industry-ready, and mostly it provides theoretical knowledge.

Except hostel facility I am satisfied with my course in this college.
Placements: The college conduct the placement drive at the end of the session, some healthcare companies and Wipro, Accenture etc. Are coming to our campus to hire us. In my course curricular in economics there is no internship provided from our campus. The best thing of my course is that it gives me in-depth knowledge in economics which I am now using in my PGDM curricular.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really good in our campus. There is no hostel facility in our college, all types of sports, indoor games facility are there inside campus. The food of the canteen is really good. The course is very feasible and we have plenty of time to prepare for our exams.
Faculty: The college faculty is really very helpful, knowledgeable and lots of experience in their respective field. Our faculty teaches us in-depth knowledge and guide us better. Exams are conducted each semester but the practical takes in even semesters. Mid term are also conducted. My course is not relevant to make us industry ready but the course subjects are really helpful.
Other: The scholarships are available in our campus, all types of Indian festivals are arranged in our college, annual fest and other curricular are also conducted, different fashion show, dancing, singing and many other competition takes place.
