Our college faculty members are excellent.

Placements: There were 45 students in our class but five students passed with honors. Almost 60% of students were placed. Top recruiting companies did not visit our campus. They did not provide internships. Facilities were not up to date. No recruiting firms visited our college and will never visit again because there was no placement option at CU.

Infrastructure: Our college Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and libraries were not available. They did not provide a hostel. The hostel faculty members were not good. The canteen was unhygienic. The canteen was beside the washroom, which made it more difficult to eat there. There were no proper washrooms.

Faculty: Our faculty members were good, qualified, and helpful. They were very knowledgeable. There was no curriculum. Semester exams were difficult. The pass percentage was 30-35%. Our university professors did not check the copies properly and assigned incorrect grades.

Other: I chose this course because it was interesting. You get to know everything about English literature in three years. The syllabus should be reduced. There were no festivals during my time in college.

I am totally satisfied with my college faculty, infrastructure as well as teachers.

Placements: The placement cell is not very good but still there is a lot of opportunities for the students of the college. College announced their placement recruitment through their websites and students need to ACT through it. Most of the students are NIT taking placement from college because of the package.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good, create a good sense of ambience and has a anti ragging environment in the college. The college has many different facilities like library, hostel near the college, affordable canteen and a sports ground for the students.
