Absolutely satisfied with the faculty.

Placements: Almost all the student got internship from your course in top research institute. The faculty members help us lot in finding out the internship. Campus interview is also offered for UG students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is quite old but the maintenance of it was good. The college has good library facility. They also give more importance to sports and games .

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and friendly. They also provide notes for each and every topic. The teaching quality was really very good. They also conduct national seminar and many programmes to develop the practical knowledge of the student.

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.

This college is good and helpful.

Placements: All the students got 80%-90% of marks in their academics. The salary offered here ranges from Rs. 30,000 to 60,000 per month. Top companies recruit students from B.Sc courses. Roles offered in our course include management and many more. About 60% of the students got internships in companies. Overall, our college provides good placements.

Infrastructure: Campuses are neat, and our college has good sports rooms and clean classrooms. The department room is clean, and all places are authenticated with Wi-Fi facility. The laboratory has new materials all the time. The library has all the books like old to new books. The hostel is good, and the food served is average. However, the food served in the canteen is always good. Our college -organises many sports programs.

Faculty: Our college teachers are good, and they are at a good level in their course. They have great knowledge of their subjects and teach well. About 80% of the students listen to their classes, and they like the subject knowledge provided by the teachers. The course curriculum is always good, and students are almost ready for industry work.

Other: I chose B.Sc in physics course because I have an interest in physics, and also that course is good. I wish that our college should be improved up to the USA level. Our college provides more time, and events are celebrated here. The fee structure is acceptable by low-income level people. The campus is clean, and our college provides good scholarships. Sports conducted are great in our college.

Placements: Approximately 80% of students got placements in many companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. Many students got their dream jobs.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities were available. There were many sports for all students.

Faculty: Teachers were qualified and had extraordinary knowledge to teach us. They cleared all doubts. Semester exams were not that difficult. If we study well, we pass all semester exams.

Everything should be improved.

Placements: 1) no campus placement we should study higher course 2) no campus placement even our current seniors are still studying and no one got placed 3) no campus placement even if you finish UG. 4) B.Com accounting and finance roles were offered. 5) no campus placement.

Infrastructure: 1) no facilities available only inter-department fights. It's an old building college if you come in, you would out the other second. Everything should be improved basically but they don't care about that. 2) very poor they fall sick every time. Government food is better.

Faculty: 1) they aren't that useful it's up to the students. They just come and blabber something the questions why they say is important or they whatever they thought won't come at all. 2) nope if there are many ways it would be really helpful for the students.
