Absolutely satisfied because of the facilities provided by IDOL.

Placements: This is a college which offers distance learning programme to its student. The online facility starting from admission till having in hand degree Certificate is fabulous. The truth is IDOL doesn't provide any placement to its students. One can do Masters and even doctorate from Mumbai University without any hesitation. No perfect batch code was provided to me, as I completed my 3 years of journey from IDOL. One of the biggest advantage one can have from IDOL is you can complete your education and start working at the same time.

Infrastructure: IDOL (Dr Shankar Dayal Sharma Bhavan) is the main center related to all courses. The entrance is there in the middle of building where guard checks the student, who wish to enter. On the left of entrance there is a query counter, where a concern person solve one's own doubt about studies. It's a three storey curve building where courses like Science, commerce & Arts are offered and their related offices are located. Down at ground floor there is a canteen and xerox center. Study material collection office is there down on left of gate. Overall the ambience of IDOL is quiet calm and silent.

Faculty: PCP lectures are offered to students. The teachers are well qualified by their degree and good teaching experience. Books are sufficient for the exam preparation. Everything is explained on the website of idol. Exams are average, one can easily pass if studied timely. Great part is, there used to be only one exam at the end of year. But now they have introduced a new CBCS pattern. Where you have to give an internal and external exam.

Other: I chose B.A. as my degree course, the reason behind studying from IDOL was I started doing work from 2019. So my 3 years of experience with idol was amazing. No need of any improvement according to me.

Good but definitely not the best.

Placements: My placement story has been one roller coaster ride. There have been so many ups and downs throughout this journey but by god's grace I came out victorious. This roller coaster ride started in the 3rd Year. So straight into the first month of 3rd year, companies started to come for internships. I was an average student with a very average pointer of 7.96. This is where the journey of getting rejected started.

Infrastructure: Nice infrastructure with each and every facilities required. Perfectly build classrooms & other premises. Every electronic item works fine with regular maintenance check. Walls are strong and perfectly painted. On short its a good in terms of space but not features.

Faculty: Good Academics. Faculty are very nice to students. Each and every doubt of students were calmly examined and resolved by faculty. Every modern method of learning is provided by them with lots of dedication and hardwork. But mainly they tend to speak n explain in marathi sometimes.

It is a good college for people who want to do a job along with studies.

Placements: Around 50% of the students get placements. Salary packages offered vary from as low as 1 LPA to 5 LPA approximately. Infosys, TCS, and L&T are the recruiting companies of our college. Almost 80% of students are getting internships. All the required roles are being offered. I would recommend joining this college as it is good, and you can go ahead with it.

Infrastructure: All the facilities provided are quite well such as Wi-Fi, canteen, labs, classroom, and library with neat and clean environment and many more. The quality of the food served in the canteen is good, but the taste seems average and the price is too high considering the taste.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, well qualified, and knowledgeable too. There are no complaints in this regard. But the industry requirements are being taught, and since that is not in the syllabus so we can't complain. Semester exams are not that difficult if you study well. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: Our campus has good surroundings.

Choosing your major can be difficult, but it's not the end of the world if you don't know what you want to do after graduation. Take classes that sound interesting, find an internship or part-time job, and talk to professors to get a better idea of what you would like to do in the future and what yo
