Overall, Government College of Arts and Science, Kumbakonam.
Placements: There was no placement in this college. It was free for me. I didn’t pay any kind of fee. All I needed to do was get a good percentage in 12th. Admission was given on the basis of photos and mark comparison. Everyone who came to study here shouldn’t have focused only on projects and studies. They should have also done extracurricular activities. They should have learned typing, Java, C++, etc. so that they could get a job.
Infrastructure: If you looked at the interior, it was called South Indian Cambridge. It created a good atmosphere. Court College was a magnificent example of British-era architecture. Many times, lizards had fallen into the hostel food. All the buildings were in a state of collapse. Later, the government rebuilt and renovated everything.
Faculty: If you came and saw it, the examination hall was superbly designed. Teachers who came for the examination were very strict and honest. They had weight certification. An honest written exam to avoid fake attendance records. To create a situation where students could return to school for the same semester even if the attendance records were sufficient.
Other: No campus placement was conducted.

It is a good college for students to gain more knowledge.
Placements: Placement facilities provided in our college were not good but campus interviews provided good jobs with high salary packages. Our college provided training for students to prepare for government exams. Many business-related companies visit our college to recruit students. Students have to choose the best company.
Infrastructure: The hostel was available and the quality of food served was worth the fee. I recommend students stay in nearby rental houses that charge Rs.6,000 per month and Rs.30,000 in advance.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were the best. Exams were scheduled well and conducted strictly on time. The exam fee was low compared to other colleges. It was an autonomous college.
