M.A. in Philosophy - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best University for M.A. in Philosophy Course.

Placements: The placement rate for 2024 was 93%. 37 LPA was the biggest compensation that was offered. 7 LPA was the average pay. 19 LPA was the average pay. These are held annually from September to January at our campus's Training and Placement Center (T&P). Among its notable clients are Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, and Amazon. Editor, bioethicist, and other roles are popular. Nine out of ten students find employment.

Infrastructure: It has the world's best infrastructure. The dorms for the girls have air conditioning. There is Wi-Fi available, with daily and weekly restrictions of 10 GB and 50 GB, respectively. The library is always open. Both our galleries and library are rather large. The hospital has everything it needs. Our campus has a large number of dining options. The institution also hosts athletic events.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and experienced, but their quality of teaching is not up to the mark. The curriculum is flexible and the campus environment makes students ready for classes. The pass rate is usually 35%. Since the exam is not easy, many problems arise during the exam.

The college infrastructure & facilities are good, but I'm dissatisfied because of the placement.

Placements: Placement facilities are not good. The highest package is 5.3 LPA, and the lowest package is 2.6 LPA. The top recruiting companies are SBI, HDFC, HSBC, and Axis Bank. Internships, like at NGOs, are available. Colleges need to improve their placement facilities.

Infrastructure: The college has a Wi-Fi system, well-equipped classrooms, labs, and a library. Hostel quality is not good. The canteen has good-quality food. Medical facilities are also provided for sick students. Sports and games are available for students. The library has a new and evolving book stock.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good. This course is curriculum-relevant and prepares students for the industry. Semester exams in my college are normal, but teachers do not allow cheating. The pass percentage is 70-80%.

Other: Personally, I chose this subject because I want to learn it. Colleges need to improve their placement facilities. Events and festivals are organized by the college. Scholarships are provided by the college. Extracurricular activities are also available for students.

Review of Guwahati University - GU.

Placements: Our college provided good placements. There were different placements for different courses. Currently, there are no placements specifically for this course at the institute. The curriculum included the opportunity for internships in the final semester, which students needed to find outside.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities were not available. A few students came from outside to study at our college. The campus was huge. A swimming pool, a basketball court, and a canteen were available.

Faculty: The course was expensive because it covered various areas of psychology but didn't keep up with the latest research and trends. Each paper had 100 marks, divided between the end-of-semester exams. Exams were difficult.

Other: There were many clubs in our college.
