Overall, best college for MCA course.
Placements: Almost 85% of students were placed in a large company with good resources. INR 35 LPA was the highest package. The average package was INR 16 LPA, with INR 9 LPA being the lowest. TCS, Adani Group, Microsoft, etc., were the top recruiting companies. Almost 80% of the students got their internships. The biggest job offer was software developer.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college was awesome. Our college provided a pleasant environment along with top-notch amenities such as a spacious theater, quality medical services, and transport options were also accessible here. The amenities at the hotel were outstanding. We were provided with tasty meals, and the standard of the accommodation was high.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful, well-qualified, and highly skilled in teaching. The instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable here. This study was about how the college takes students on technical visits according to their semester. Testing was neither too hard nor too easy. It all depended on how well the students could answer the questions. The pass rate was around 35%.

Overall, best college for M.A. in economics course.
Placements: This college performs well every year. 96% of students get placements in very good LPA. The highest salary offered is 22 LPA. The lowest salary offered is 9 LPA. Many big companies hire here, such as Brain & Company, McKinsey & Company, KPMG, and many other companies. Top roles offered are financial analyst, financial consultant, etc. Many students got their internships.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are good. Each academy has 5 to 10 fans. College has all-boys sports, and that is racism. Only basketball and volleyball are taken seriously. Other sports like badminton, chess, and others are not taken seriously. If you are not staying at the hotel, there is no medical facility. The clinic is open in the evening after 5:00 PM.
Faculty: Faculty members are excellent. The only issue is their constant change every semester, with at least one new instructor each time. They lack experience, which makes it difficult to communicate with them. However, they make every effort to teach you and are available all day for questions and more. Semester assessments are relatively easy, with a pass rate exceeding 75%.

Review of ILAHIA College of Engineering and Technology. 
Placements: The guarantees and assurances provided to achieve placements were not met for half of the students. The least package stood at 2.42 LPA and increased based on individual skills. Compared to other colleges, our college lagged significantly in recruitment.
Infrastructure: The college always wanted to be glorified among others. Facilities available were average, and the college hid most of the truth during advertising. The college spent much of its money lavishly on promoting itself rather than building the necessary facilities.
Faculty: Professors always provoked students with their unnecessary activities and actions. Even the smallest movements of students were noticed by the professors. The academic results created hectic competition among the students from all disciplines.

Not at all recommended for the M.Com course.
Placements: Companies like Tata Capital, Kotak Securities, Philips, and Franklin Templeton were involved in the hiring phase in roles like financial and wealth-based consulting. The starting package was 2.5 LPA. The internship or training opportunities were not recommended by the college.
Infrastructure: The admission process is purely based on the merit scores secured from a bachelor's degree, along with the entrance exam scores. Students were punished with penalties if they failed to obey the order properly. Sports areas were always open for people who had achieved in sports.
Faculty: The partial treatment of students, especially during sessions, students with good academic grades were given preference. Their doubts were immediately cleared, and if they had time, they would look for other doubts to clarify otherwise, they would skip over it.

The college is located in Rajagiri Valley.
Placements: Hyundai, Wells Fargo, PwC, and Gartner are some of the listed companies that took part in the recruitment phase of the college. Also, these are well-reputed companies, so there would be terrific competition among the students to get placed. The maximum package till now stands at 17.9 LPA.
Infrastructure: This college is located in Rajagiri Valley, which has a beautiful and peaceful ambience for studying. This is also one of the major reasons why most students choose this college for higher education. It is accredited by AICTE and affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam.
Faculty: Teachers use the native language for teaching, which creates trouble for other students in understanding. Even after conveying this, they are not willing to change. Teachers have brilliant ideologies about the subject, plan accordingly, and implement it.
