About the college and the infrastructure.

Placements: Around 40% of students get placed every year. The highest package offered is 3 LPA, and the lowest is 1 LPA. BSNL visited the campus for recruitment. A few students were able to secure internships. Managerial roles were among the top roles offered, with HR being the most common.

Infrastructure: College has everything you need. High-speed Wi-Fi is available 24/7. The labs are in good condition, and all the computers work properly. The Wi-Fi speed is reliable, and the quality of the equipment is good. The labs are newly built and well-maintained.

Faculty: Teachers are very good and highly supportive. They are well-qualified and always available when we need them. The course is highly relevant and has prepared us well for the industry. However, the semester exams are quite challenging, and it is difficult to pass them.

Other: I was really interested in it.

I am satisfied with helpful staff and good study environment.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is pretty much reasonable because of the location. It is located in Navbhaar, Shimla. There are a good number of classes in good condition. The best part about the infrastructure is library. It has every kind of book and study material including a book bank. Library is very clean and well-maintained. Smart classes are available but need to be doubled. Hostel quality is good quality but it gets a bit difficult during winter but it's more than bearable. Food available in mess is good in taste and most importantly clean. We have several sports like basketball, athletics, badminton, handball, table tennis, and many more. Few need to be added. Rest are above-average.

Faculty: Staff is helpful and responsible for their students. Our college conducts a survey in which we can give feedback on teachers. Teachers always try to improve to make their students understand better. We do not have regular exams which is a bit lacking. They conduct only one examination throughout the year. There should be more than 2 exams a year with 15 marks each. Students have to get 6.5 to pass the exams. There are several departments like English, Psychology, Science, Home Science, Economics, Mathematics, Geography, History, Commerce, and many more

Other: I chose English honors from St. Bede's college as it is well-known with well-qualified staff. It is affiliated with HPU and is A+ credited. Most famous courses are B.A. English Honours and B.A. Psychology Honours with highly qualified and experienced staff. Some courses need to be added. I have a huge interest in world literature and wanted to explore it more which is pretty good at this college. Our college conducts many events and fests which are very interesting with a large amount of participation. Campus isn't much crowded which is good as it doesn't create any mess and noise.

Our college offers the best in the least.

Placements: The placement drive is of an average value, and the companies that hire via campus placements don't offer a high salary package. Maximum placements are done for the commerce sections majorly. Recruitments offered are from major Indian airlines, and workshops are also organised from time to time.

Infrastructure: The campus environment is very refreshing and good. It offers one of the richest libraries, a basketball court, a canteen and a very scenic pathway. Our college is surrounded by pine trees. A beautiful old campus building is the best for the students.

Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are ready to help round the clock, and they are super cooperative. Our college has one of the most educated professors in the English department who are devoted to their job in every possible manner. They are like a guardian.

The best college. Although our principal is not that good, our teachers and atmosphere are good.

Placements: During our time, the college hasn't provided any placement opportunities. Although the college owns a placement cell, no placement drives were organised here. Many Companies do visit the campus, and interviews were also held, but no placements were offered for the students of the English department.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college was beautiful. The surroundings of the campus were filled with trees all over. There is a beautiful long path which leads to the main college campus and the hostel. Weather in Shimla is beautiful all the time, and the snowfall in winters add to the beauty of college. There won't be an any better college in Himachal as far as the infrastructure is concerned. The food served was okay. Our college provides Wi-Fi facilities both on campus as well as in the hostels. The only bad thing is the timings and outings. For the hostellers, they provide you outing just once in a fortnight that too till 5 pm.

Faculty: I am from the English department. Teachers were really good and helpful. The best thing about teachers is that they are highly approachable and qualified. St. Bede's is a girls' college, and the atmosphere here is very comfortable and friendly. Teaching methods such as smart board classes and visits to educational places helped us a lot. The teaching staff members were the best here.

Other: You will love to be here.

Not a college for ambitious fighters.

Placements: Saint Bede's is not a rewarding college considering the quality and type of placements. The placements are very rarely relevant to the courses taught by them. Brands like Calvin Klein or Brands that require air hostesses or train attendees usually approach the college.

Infrastructure: The college library is an absolute winner, it has antique books ageing from 1600. The quality of furniture, labs, and the auditorium is low. Although the hostel building is one of the most beautiful ones, the basic amenities for girls are lacking in winters.

Faculty: The teachers are greatly helpful with providing study material. Nevertheless, the downside is the difficulty of the exams. The university level exams are usually framed by people who have limited knowledge of the course. Although they attempt to, the exams do not look like university level exams.

Other: I chose this course, because I was deeply passionate about literature.
