It is the best college in all aspects.

Placements: Placements were great in our college. There were excellent roles in different domains like sales and marketing, product management, etc. Many recruiters along with the jobs were published on the institute website after the successful completion of the recruitment process. Almost 100% of students got placed in our course.

It is a good college for studying, but I am dissatisfied with the information inquiry team.

Placements: More than 75% of students are placed. The highest salary offered is Rs. 60000 per month, the average is Rs. 35000 per month, and the lowest is Rs. 18000 per month. Top roles offered are accountant, manager, entrepreneur, and trader.

Infrastructure: It has a good infrastructure. Modes of transport are very helpful. Labs are good. Classrooms are also good. The library has all the books, and it is quiet. I was a day scholar.

Review of Madras University.

Placements: Placement opportunities are not provided at our university. Our college is just for a degree that is not of value. Practical exposure is not provided for students so they lack many skills which is the reason behind nil placements.

Infrastructure: Our college has very old buildings which are not renovated for quite long years. Many buildings are available but one or two are used. More trees can be grown to provide good and fresh air.

It is a good university for those who want a distant education.

Placements: All passed-out students are eligible for placements. As it is distance education, there are no internships for this course.

Infrastructure: There is a center available for girls to be educated in their town. All the facilities, like labs, classrooms, and a library, are available. The facilities are pretty good. There is no need to stay in a hostel because the center is available at our location. That is one of the great benefits for those whose parents don't allow them to stay outside.
