I am satisfied with the faculty, good placements, and peaceful environment.

Placements: It's not mandatory for students to sit in placements but Students who sit for placements are offered more than 60%, the highest would be around 5.5 LPA the lowest would be 2.1 LPA, goldman Sachs cognizant etc., it's mandatory to do internships so mostly all the students would do internships, HR .

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and exposure are very good. The library is available during college hours as well as on some weekends. I am not a hostel student, but from what I know, the food is decent and the environment is good. However, you need to get an out-pass if you want to go out, and if you're a Catholic student, you should attend mass at the college chapel.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and approachable, and the teaching quality is really good compared to others. The curriculum is relatable and interesting. Semester exams are tough, but you can get through them if you've studied well, but it really depends on the subjects; for instance, subjects like statistics are really tough.

Other: I chose BBA because I really liked the course outcome. The exposure you get in this course is really good, and it could include more industrial visits. The fests and events are great, and it would be a memorable experience if you participate in them.

Worth the penny. Good infrastructure, cultural events, and great exposure.

Placements: 70% of students get placed. The highest package is around 12 LPA. Some of my seniors get internships at Zomato, Deloitte, and Goldman Sachs. Campus recruitments take place in the final year of the course. Many seniors have also completed their ACCA qualification.

There are tennis courts, a volleyball court, an NCC ground, a basketball court, and a badminton court.

Faculty: Faculty members are useful, and since it's ACCA-integrated, it's even better. All the staff are highly educated and very friendly. They make us industry-ready. Semester exams are strict. The exam difficulty is at a moderate level, depending on the subjects for each semester.
