My honest review of my college.

Placements: Placements are quite okay. Unlike other colleges in the state, various companies like Google, some BPOs, and many companies come from time to time to recruit students. This put the college at a high rank, and as a result, the college recruits only qualified students. I could quote quite a number of students who got a job before completing their courses. But I still feel that this could be better so that more students have a future through this institute.

Infrastructure: Hostels are great. It is situated near the college. There are two separate buildings for both boys and girls. Some rooms are shared, and some single rooms are also available here. Mess food is also great. It costs a total of around Rs. 8,000 per month. PGs are also available around the college, which cost around Rs. 4,000 per month.

Faculty: Faculty members are super awesome and very dedicated. Some of the teachers make us love the subject they teach. They are perfectly trained in their respective lies. They did their job really well. It is an awesome college in terms of faculty members. The principal is friendly, and so is his assistant. Faculty members sitting in offices, be it the clerks or whoever, are very helpful. All the good reviews of other students made me choose this college for MCA. The best MCA course is at the university. There is a proper schedule for exams, and a particular datasheet is followed.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Directly after MCA, students from my stream do not look for jobs often, and they go for their master's. However, for all other departments and even for our department, the campus placements used to visit. Wipro, TCS, etc., are some of the organisations offering campus placements. There is an active placement cell in the college premises.

Infrastructure: The hostel rooms are quite big. They are either single, 2, 3, or 4 sharing rooms. Mess is not that much of a high quality, but the food is good. Students got admitted to the hostel based on their percentage. Some students did not get a seat.

Faculty: The course is divided into two main parts, the honours or main part is MCA. Electives are Botany and Chemistry. We also have to take up English and environmental science, additionally, during our 1st and 3rd year, respectively. Faculty members are awesome and very dedicated. Some teachers make us love the subject that they teach. They are perfectly trained in their respective lies. They did their job really well. It is an awesome college in terms of faculty members. The principal is friendly, and so is his assistant. Faculty members sitting in offices, be it the clerks or whoever, are very helpful.

Faculty: It's a very worthy course, Natural Gases of the Earth. The faculty is great, and they teach us nicely and help us to overcome our doubts. Various practices were done that help us with our further research. I enjoyed a lot. The subject combination of Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and English as electives is perfect. We had two to three exams a year, and questions were set from every nook and corner of the syllabus. One needs to prepare thoroughly for the exams, and we need at least 75 percent attendance.

My honest review of St. Anthony's College, Shillong.

Placements: Nothing comes directly from the college. Everything depends on the student to manage on their own. In a way, this is good, as it helps students prepare themselves for job searches later and equips them with knowledge on how to proceed. Big companies like Amazon, InfoEdge, Paytm, etc., visited the campus with great packages, with the highest being 15 LPA this year. Most of the job descriptions were for the role of SDE, which included FTE plus an internship.

Infrastructure: Postgraduate students were given single rooms. They were no other options, for a monthly rental of nearly Rs. 2000. Two-seater rooms were Rs. 1500, three-seater rooms Rs. 1000, and dorms Rs. 500. Food costs were nearly Rs. 50 per day.

Faculty: The curriculum was somewhat outdated, as the field of Information Technology. It requires us to stay updated with the latest languages and technologies, but the syllabus was outdated and needed to be revised quickly. It should also be mentioned that postgraduate students did not get any on-campus placements. Almost all teachers were NET-qualified and specialized in the subjects they taught. The staff was very friendly and young, so interaction with them was very good. Whenever there was a problem, we could approach them personally. The curriculum was good, starting with easy concepts to familiarize students with all the subjects. The teaching methods were also good, as teachers did not assume that students were already proficient. All the positive reviews from other students made me choose this college for MCA.

My honest review of St. Anthony's College, Shillong.

Placements: Nothing comes directly from the college. Everything depends on the student to manage on their own. In a way, this is good, as it helps students prepare themselves for job searches later and equips them with knowledge on how to proceed. Many of our alumni have made it to Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Most students from here are now working with big names in the IT industry. So we can say that once you get admission here, your future is more or less set.

Faculty: The curriculum was somewhat outdated. In the field of information technology, we need to stay updated with the latest languages and technologies, but the syllabus was outdated and needed improvement. Postgraduate students did not get any on-campus placements. Almost all teachers were NET-qualified and specialized in the subjects they taught. The staff was very friendly and young, making interaction easy. Whenever there was a problem, we could approach them. It was the toughest course I ever attended or heard of. Every mark earned in three years was hard-earned. There was a lot to learn. Professors set very high benchmarks for students. Industry-level assignments were part of the curriculum. Professors did not allow students to cheat or copy internet-available assignments.

The college is full of diversity with people coming from different states.

Placements: The placements are quite good here. Placement training is given to students who are qualified for placement. Different companies all over India come and recruit the best ones. They usually offer a huge amount of salary, and many students have already secured placements through this.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are the best. It has a mini football ground, a badminton court, a gym, and a volleyball and basketball court. It also has a table tennis room, foosball, snooker, and carrom board. The hostel seats are limited to around 200+ students. Regarding the mess, it’s not that good to be frank.

Faculty: I like the curriculum activities, such as the surprise tests conducted in the middle of class. Seminars are organized for each individual for career growth. They provide special breaks to prepare for exams. Class size is 60. The course fees is Rs. 56,500 per year.

Computer labs are very highly expensive.

Placements: Integrated MCA students become eligible for placements since the 9th semester. For B.Tech, it's 7th semester. Some of the companies that visited our college are SOTI, UST, Leopard Technologies, and Safran Digit. There are many other companies that we can apply to, but those drives are not conducted at our college, like Expression Technologies and G10X technologies. Our college is the only college in Kerala from which students are hired by Zafran Digit. I have gotten a placement at G10X Technologies Private Limited.

Infrastructure: Triple-sharing rooms with and without AC are available, 12 rooms per floor, providing a study table, an almirah, and all the basic things. Laundry is available and gives clothes after 3 days, house cleaning service has been topped for inside the room, no cleaning in the room until further notice, which is not good at all. Multiple complaints have been made to the concerned authorities, but still, it's been over a month now, and there's been no improvement at all.

Faculty: Course will not give complete real-world applications. Exam's difficulty level is between medium and hard. Timing for theory exam is 3 hours.

Other: Most important part for improvements is student and teacher relationship and the teaching methods. The way of interaction and rapport also has a little improvement.

All the faculty members are experts in their fields and motivate students.

Placements: From 3rd semester, it is the last year that students are eligible for campus placement. In my semester, more than 15 companies were visited, and in my MCA batch, the 7 LPA package is the highest package. Average is 3 LPA. 50% students get placed. After the degree, I am going to get a job.

Infrastructure: In hostel, there is one flat where six students live. One flat has three rooms. Each room has 2 students, they provide one table, one chair, and one almirah. There is a common late batch among six students. There is a separate hostel for juniors. Meal is excluded from hostel, we have to pay for a meal every day. Accommodation charges for hostel are Rs. 65,000 per year.

Faculty: I had passed out BCA and wanted to study further to learn more in-depth. So, I had decided to join the course. Like all other curricula of Indian education system, the course was outdated and failed to deliver the standard required to be job-ready. There were semester exams every 6 months. It was not at all hard if a regular study schedule could be followed.

Other: The areas of improvement could be to avoid long, boring lectures or focus on rating textbook definitions, and rather focus on a real-life-based problem-solving approach development.
