I am absolutely satisfied with the college.

Placements: 80% of students got placed in top MNCs. Many students got jobs in the college in various posts. The highest salary package offered is 20 LPA. The average package offered is 10 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 5 LPA, which is quite good. Top recruiting companies for our course are Bajaj, Senco Gold, Tata, and LIC. The top roles offered are professor, teacher, and human resources. Many alumni went abroad for higher studies. I got various job offers, even though the college allows us to work while doing the course. Students will get various job posts on campus.

Infrastructure: My college has a big library. The college campus is Wi-Fi connected, and labs are well-structured. Our college canteen provides very good quality food at a reasonable price. We have separate medical rooms in every building. The college organises annual sports, indoor and outdoor games. We also have a table tennis board and a chessboard.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, well-educated, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching techniques are excellent. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are moderate. The pass percentage is 90%.

Other: I really love the faculty members. I got the course at a very reasonable price compared to other colleges, so I chose it. I can learn different things that will lead me to shine in the future. It should organise more seminars. The course should start a master's degree in college, which will be very helpful for students. Many events and fests occur in my college every year.

I love my college life very much.

Placements: Those who got above 70% marks in Higher Secondary were admitted to this course. The fee is 3500 rupees for each semester. I don't know exactly who joined the internship. Many people have gotten jobs right from the college campus, but I have just completed the course.

Infrastructure: The classrooms were clean and well-maintained. There was Wi-Fi available throughout the campus. Our college also had a canteen that served high-quality food. Various competitions, dance performances, and singing events were organized regularly. I had a great time during my college years.

Faculty: Every teacher I had was very good. They taught very well. That’s why I didn’t have any difficulty in completing the course. Everything taught here is useful for the future. There was a little pressure during the semester, but all the teachers were so helpful that I did very well on all the exams.

Other: I had a great time in college for 3 years. I studied, danced, sang, and participated in various activities.

A short note on my college.

Placements: Currently, I'm pursuing English honours. As per my knowledge, I got to know that for the past two years, students and the students of the final year used to get recruitment from various fields. One of the recent recruitment was from Senco Gold and diamond. Which recruited some students from our department also.

Infrastructure: Now our college has installed Wi-Fi in every block for students as well as for professors. There is no hostel facility in our college as students from nearby areas used to take admission in this college. The canteen is very spacious as well as well managed and clean.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and very polite. The passing percentage is 30%. The exams are not very tough if you don't study properly. The question papers are in a standard form. The professors also help us in various ways and projects. Although the faculty is more or less good.

Other: I have chosen this course as I like to study literature and want to know in depth about it. The best thing about my course is that it also contains other subject combinations which will help you to build your skills in other fields. Also, there are lots of events and fests which are celebrated in our college.

A review of the college by a 1st semester student.

Placements: 70% of the students were placed as of my knowledge. I didn't know about the lowest but the highest package was 20 LPA. The placements were good, as I am told by the seniors. As I am a semester 1 student, I don't have extensive knowledge about the placements.

Infrastructure: Yes, there is wifi in the whole college. As I am doing a BA in English, I don't need any labs or stuff. The classrooms are well lit and have multiple fans. The library is well stocked; I can get all my required books there. There are no hostels on the college campus as of now. The canteen is okay and affordable.

Faculty: The teachers were very helpful and friendly toward us. They are knowledgeable as well. They really helped us to understand the deep concept of tough poems. The teaching quality is impressive. They can be strict sometimes but they are really helpful. The semester exams are moderate; if you study hard, you can easily crack them.

Other: I love English literature, which is why I chose this course. I wish the syllabus consisted more of English literature so we could experience more.

All about my college experiences .

Placements: I am currently pursuing English honours. I don't have knowledge about the companies which recruit from our college. But recently Senco Gold came for the recruitment. Recently a summer internship is also going on for those who are not willing to continue after the 2nd semester.

Infrastructure: There are available classes but we have to attend the class in seminar room and another room which is in 2nd floor. There is not hostel facility in our campus. There are computer labs and library facilities for both the morning and the day shift.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and will clear your doubt whenever they are available with a smile on their face. They are much concerned about the course and other academic works. Our course makes the student industry ready. The passing marks out of 75 is 23. The question paper comes in standard level.

Other: I chose this college because its nearby my house. The English faculty is really good. There are a lot of fests celebrated in this college. There are some spots events also which are conducted during the winter season.
