You can enjoy the crowd and campus life here.

Placements: Placements at Guru Nanak College are very less. You cannot be sure that you will get placed in the campus interviews. Big companies will come for hiring but they will hire few students. The chances for placements are 20 to 30%.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure in the college is good enough. College campus has two well-stocked libraries. Classrooms are very good, and all the classrooms have smart board. One thing is that there are no Wi-Fi facilities on the campus. The food in the canteen is good.

Faculty: Actually I am a student of B.A. political science at Guru Nanak College. Faculty members of the department are very good. They are very friendly with the students. Semester exams are not very tough, you can score a pass mark and more than that easily.

I am neither dissatisfied nor satisfied, but it is good.

Placements: The placements are not too good. Many big companies will come, but they will hire fewer people. It is very difficult to get placed in the campus interviews. If you believe in the campus placements, it is not certain whether you will be placed or not.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. The college is very green in the sense of being full of trees. The environment there will be good. The college has two libraries, and both are very good. The food in the canteen may not be good. No Wi-Fi facilities for students.

Faculty: Actually, I am studying B.A. Political Science. Faculty members are very experienced and knowledgeable, and are helping the students very well. If you are trying to crack competitive exams, you may take a political science course. Faculty members are very friendly with the students.

Overall, the college is good, you can take admission here.

Placements: The placements are good. Many big companies come to the campus, but they hire only a few people. The placements are not as good as other colleges. Do not expect that you will surely get placed. But you can learn many things here. It will be a good time here.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. The campus is not as big as other colleges. Each and every classroom has an inbuilt smart board for the improvement of the students’ learning experience. One thing, no Wi-Fi is available for students; all the systems are connected via Ethernet.

Faculty: Actually, I'm from the department of B.A. Political Science. The faculties are very good. They are very helpful, knowledgeable, and approachable. This department is a very good choice if you are preparing for competitive exams like UPSC, TNPSC, etc.

Review of Guru Nanak College.

Placements: I have not yet completed the course, so I do not know much about placements and all those things. But I don't think there would be good placements at the college. I am not sure about the placements. There are placements, but I don't know how good they are.

Infrastructure: In the college, Wi-Fi facilities are available, but it is not for students. It is for office and library use. Classrooms are good. Every classroom has smart board. When it comes to library, there are two libraries in the college, both are good.

Faculty: Faculty members of my department (B.A. Political Science) are very helpful, knowledgeable, and very kind. Their teaching skills are just awesome. If you are trying to crack exams like UPSC, TNPSC, etc., then you can join in political science course. They will guide you better.

Other: I am a student of B.A. political science. There won't be any culturals as in other colleges.

Everything you need to know about Guru Nanak College, Chennai

Placements: As it's a reputed college here, mostly 60–70 percent of students get their placement. In this college, the highest package is INR 30–40 LPA, and the lowest is INR 5–6 LPA if you are willing and skilled. You will get the chance to meet many reputed companies for your interview purposes, and it's a high chance to get into these kinds of companies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty good, and the classrooms are also nice and airy. You will not feel like you are in a close environment. There is no girls hostel provided, but for boys there is. The environment of the college is nice, full of greenery.

Faculty: Faculty members are too nice and friendly, especially the principal of the college. She will also help you out in every situation. Teachers are highly qualified; most of them are Ph.D. holders. Exams are pretty good, and they're in the range of moderate to difficult.

Other: I chose this course as this is very rare in India, and most of them are not aware of it. Something practical and more site visits can help the students understand more, and teachers should properly explain to the students the importance and benefits of this course.

So absolutely satisfied with this college .

Placements: Percentage of students placed are bit low here (only for Defence and Strategic Studies course) since it's a arts college and that too this course thou have wide scope but don't have opportunities for Bachelor's level, so that's not college mistake. But still various security agencies and other agencies have approached for chief security officer level post starting perks (?35000-50000/month). Also students have taken interns from various Defence and Police organizations .

Infrastructure: Hostel is situated 2 km apart from the college but they provide pickup bus service. Food is decent and menus are frequently changed as per students wish. This college is known for it's sports ground and the quality of players they produce. (esp Cricket, Volleyball, Handball. Etc. ) Classroom are organically designed so as to allow more of sunlight and fresh air inside. College is Wi-Fi enabled campus .

Faculty: Professor are quite experienced and even some take up central government project and ACT as think tanks so I would surely recommend their guidance. They also recently revised their old curriculum to a new one after analyzing the job opportunities and upgrades. You need to really work hard to get good percentile, otherwise passing the exams aren't big deal provided one has to study and attending regular classes.

Other: College ambience is the best and one can relate with the nature. Apart from academics this college is also known for extending service to the society as they immediately take up or come forward for all kinda help for any kinda people (flood measures, Covid relief. Etc. ) .

I am satisfied with the infrastructure and very good faculty members.

Placements: The college provides many job offers, and many students got placed with a very good salary package. Companies which are approaching our campus for interviews are genuine, and they are giving a chance for all the talented students. Top roles, like an army, civil service, etc., are offered.

Infrastructure: Our college is surrounded by nature's beauty, many trees and different types of bushes which gives a cool atmosphere. In our college centre, there is a big cricket ground which is maintained by the college management, and other sports activities are also very good. The hostel is good. Canteen food is superb, and varieties of food are also available.

Faculty: Professors, teachers and other staff members are very helpful and very patient while clearing the doubts. While teaching, they also wait until the students understand the concept. The curriculum is very good, and each year the syllabus is upgraded.

Absolutely satisfied with the course offered.

Placements: Guru Nanak College is so great when it comes to teaching, especially the department of defense and strategic studies. There are a lot of benefits from defense and strategic studies; there are also some top recruiting companies and many of the students go on internships.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good enough and the classrooms and library are so neat and well maintained. The college provides free Wi-Fi facilities to the students and the library gives you all the articles and books that are used for competitive exams.

Faculty: The teaching quality is good, and the staff are so friendly that we can reach them whenever we have any doubts regarding the subjects. This is so relevant. Semester exams are a bit tough. This course makes the students industry-ready. I think the pass percentage is 50%.

Other: I chose this course because I want to become an assistant professor and clear the NET JRF exam. There are no suggestions about the improvements the college provides for every need.
