NSHM knowledge campus is a pretty decent College.
Placements: NSHM Knowledge Campus provides very good placements and trains you well so that you'll automatically achieve good placements. It provides placements out of India too, so it's a good choice. Placements can go up to 4 Lacs per year. It's a good choice.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is pretty good, and classrooms are good too. Different departments have different types of classes. Speaking of the Optometry building, the library is very awesome, and the classrooms and washrooms are very up-to-date. The college also provides a Nescafe where you can have coffee and some snacks during break time.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful in this college. They will give you their best, and with tests, it makes you learn all topics very nicely. The course questions will be told to you earlier, and questions mostly come based on them. Semester exams are mild, depending on how well you study. The pass percentage is you have to get 40/100.

The environment is supportive.
Infrastructure: Our faculty members are very helpful. Labs are well-managed, and we also do many camps all over the session. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus. No extra payment is needed for this. Every classroom has a projecting system. Canteen food quality is average. There are not too many choices, but you get available food courts within the campus (Vatika, Nescafe).
Faculty: Teachers are so helpful and knowledgeable. They describe everything till you understand. They help all the students coming from different language backgrounds. For semester exams, they also solve the previous year's question papers. Besides everything, they support us to be prepared for everything and always behave like our friends.
Other: Too much fun. No political environment. So much greenery all around the campus, all over the area. Available homestay or PG outside campus. I am having so much fun and enjoyment. Most of all, study is prepared in the classroom. Now I am in the 3rd semester. My 2 semesters' results are also good.
