My college's faculty are very good .

Placements: Placements official data from the college is pending. However, it's anticipated that companies will visit the campus between May and June 2024, making the first placements of students. On average, salaries are expected to range around 3 LPA, with the possibility of some students securing packages as high as 6 to 7 LPA.

Infrastructure: I'd rate the infrastructure as average, giving it 3 stars. Due to online learning, hostel facilities are available. However, there is an annual fest where students can gather and enjoy. Hostel accommodation is offered selectively to third-year or B.Sc. level students.

Faculty: In terms of assessment, the course operates on a term system spanning 4 months each, with 3 terms per year. Some subjects pose challenges for students, and failing a subject requires retaking the entire course in the subsequent term. There are no provisions for supplementary exams as seen in other colleges.

Other: My college's scholarship is provided according to government rules.
