Mandatory to show concern for all the activities.
Placements: There will be no consistency in the results of placements. In the initial century, it is very easy to grab job opportunities while we study well with good percentage. But now a days it's not enough to grab job opportunities with good academic performance in addition. It is necessary to keep us updated with the new technology to get higher salaries. So team of placements helps us to train with various skills.
Infrastructure: There will be certain limitations for the students in eating hostel food. We should visit the hostel lounges at the proper time to have our meals, breakfast, and dinner. Hostel warden won't mind the activity of students in the hostel rooms. But if we had created any problems, we were watched strictly.
Faculty: I am getting bored with the teaching standards of the teachers. They repeatedly read the slides and textbooks which is more frustrating for the students looking for valuable teachers. According to me, they won't meet the standards for our college payments.
