Pachaiyappa's College has received a rating of 4.1.

Placements: All the students got 80-90% of marks in their academics. The salary offered ranged from Rs. 30,000 to 60,000 per month. Top companies recruited students from B.Sc. courses.

Infrastructure: The hostel was good, and the fee was INR 2,400-3,000 per month. Wi-Fi was not available in the hostel. PGs were not available. The food was good and cost INR 25 per meal. The quality of classrooms, labs, libraries, and dining halls was good, and we had Wi-Fi.

Faculty: There wasn't much information about Pachaiyappa's College pass percentage in 2021. But there was some information about the college's admission criteria and grading system. They had a large lab for my course, which influenced extracurricular activities that prepared students for real-world applications of my course, and they helped students develop discipline, loyalty, and good character. Our college was strict in Chennai surroundings. They could improve their teaching methods by updating technology in the course and enhancing the subjects taught in my class.

Our college fee is low, but it has the worst reputation. I suggest you to opt for other colleges.

Placements: Initially, 60 students joined in our course, but now, there are around 25 students (3rd-year). The salary offered is Rs. 5,000 per month for catering services jobs, which are not related to education. Catering companies and event management companies visit our college for placements for our course. They don't offer high salaries, and there is no scope to get high salaries. Students didn't get internships, and we can go and do an internship for part-time.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are 175 years old with old lights and fans. The library is just fine, and the computer lab has just 10 computers. The food served in the hostel is just better than the food served by the government for free. For medical services, we have to go outside the college. There is a scope for sports, but some politics are played.

Faculty: Teachers here are just qualified and super seniors of the same college. HODs are the worst. Some teachers who are new are good. They don't know anything and are learning from students. They just teach through materials. The course curriculum just provides theoretical knowledge.

Other: My parents and relatives forced me to choose this course just to become a degree holder. I wish that our college should change management, and teachers should be strict and eligible to teach. Events are organised with the help of donations. If the crowd crowded, then fightings will surely happen. Scholarships are provided by the government only. There is no huge scope for extracurricular activities here.

Our college faculties and infrastructure of our college was very good. Good placement in 2019.

Placements: In my college last two years only they arrange the placement and they offered minimum salary as 10k and maximum salary as 19500. Famous courses in my college is Physics, chemistry, mathematics, zoology, Economics and commerce plays the important role in our college.

Infrastructure: Our department has own department library. In my college they have all the equipments in lab and they are in working condition. Our hostel food was good but infrastructure of our hostel building is slightly damaged. Extracurricular activity like sports, cultural, inter college competition, National and intentional conference also held in our college.

Faculty: My college professors are very good they are very knowledgeable in their field and their subject. They encourage their students like their own son or daughter. They teach the syllabus both application and understanding. They first teach the fundamentals of every chapter.
