Placements: I joined here expecting placements, but they told me there are no placements. People who expect placements should not get into this college. Even Dean Sir said that placements are low and companies have not been coming for the past two years because people are not willing to take placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and hostel are good. Here, there is a canteen, massage facilities, Wi-Fi, and good games. You will also get Wi-Fi access. There is a gym and a swimming pool. It's a 100-acre university and follows a more American model. There is no good clothing, and even boys and girls talk to each other. The culture is fast-paced.
Faculty: Here, teachers are M.A. or Ph.D. holders, and the teaching quality is good. This course is for students who want to pursue competitive exams or higher studies. The pass percentage is 45%, and you should have 75% attendance. You have Test 1 and Test 2 in every semester.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of hostel is very good as they keep it clean and neat. But sometimes we have hot water problems in hostel. Coming to college, we have BBA and MBA students sharing the same campus because of which it becomes too crowded.
Faculty: There are only a limited number of faculty members who are worth the fees paid. Some faculty members cannot clear our doubts. Some faculty members have a very good amount of knowledge but do not know how to teach students. Some faculty members don't even teach anything in the class.
