Placements: Every single student who went for placement ended up getting a spot in coaching institutes like Physics Wallah and Prutor, with packages typically ranging from about 6 to 7 LPA. When it comes to math, it seems like a lot of folks are looking to pursue their Ph.D., whether in India or overseas, if we are talking placements, Statistics is actually doing better than Mathematics in our department.

Infrastructure: Talking about the colleges infrastructure, it includes all the basics, clean water supply, spacious Science labs, an auditorium for cultural events, and a playground for sports, there is also a well-stocked library and tidy classrooms. Students can take advantage of transportation and on-campus housing if they do not have their own rides, the mess is kept clean, and while the food is pretty good, I think adding more choices that students like would be a bonus.

Faculty: The faculty and staff do a solid job here. First-year classes felt a lot like high school, which made the transition smoother, the college does a nice job recognizing academic achievements and really goes out of its way to celebrate the top performers.

Placements: Honestly, when it comes to placements for this course, it’s pretty much non-existent. Hardly any companies show up for recruitment. Now, if you look at other courses, though, the situation is much brighter. They actually have solid placement opportunities. And here’s a little silver lining: students from this course can still throw their hats in the ring for placements in those other programs. On average, the packages can reach anywhere from 10 to 15 LPA.

Infrastructure: The college has pretty solid infrastructure and decent amenities, You know, the on-campus housing is actually quite comfy and well-managed. A lot of students choose to live there. As for the food service, it’s okay, meets the basic standards, nothing fancy.

Faculty: The faculty here is just fantastic. Every single member really knows their stuff when it comes to their field. They’re super accessible and are always ready to lend a hand to students, the way they teach works well, giving students a solid grasp of the material, the curriculum is modern, and the test questions strike a nice balance, not too easy, not too hard.
