It is a good college with lots of courses to choose from.
Placements: We only have around 30 students in our course with an above-average percentage scale. College does provide placements but I don't have much knowledge on this as the pandemic started in my very first year of college. But still, I am sure there are many courses from our college with placement.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is quite good and positive with a garden. Classrooms are of average size with decent tables and benches and even projectors. The library is also quite okay with computers and is air-conditioned. There are also good books to choose from. The canteen is decent too with good food at an affordable price.
Faculty: Teachers of our department provide good knowledge and materials regarding our course especially our HOD is very good and friendly. Exams are difficult but the cause of the pandemic, it wasn't that difficult for us. The course curriculum makes students ready as it is basically on how society works.
Other: I opted for this course because of my interest in sociology since high school so I had options to choose English or sociology. I choose sociology which I am happy about because I learned a lot from it. I would like our college to have their big fest as alongside studies, students activities are also important.

It is a mediocre college with disappointing infrastructure and placements.
Placements: Placements in our college were horrible. The college has no coherent placement strategy or placement plans. Many students got jobs on their own or by using the third party such as LinkedIn, etc. Recently, the commerce department had a placements campaign with limited success.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is quite old. Most of the equipment is either outdated or extremely slow and inefficient. Being a government college, requesting for upgrades or replacements takes forever. However, some departments have good infrastructure such as biology department. Overall, it needs improvement.
Faculty: Faculty members depend a lot on the department. Departments in the humanities section have better faculty compared to others such as the commerce department. The course curriculum is managed by CU. It was extremely outdated and out of touch with current developments. Recently it has been updated.
