Mandatory to show concern for all the activities.
Placements: There will be no consistency in the results of placements. In the initial century, it is very easy to grab job opportunities while we study well with good percentage. But now a days it's not enough to grab job opportunities with good academic performance in addition. It is necessary to keep us updated with the new technology to get higher salaries. So team of placements helps us to train with various skills.
Infrastructure: There will be certain limitations for the students in eating hostel food. We should visit the hostel lounges at the proper time to have our meals, breakfast, and dinner. Hostel warden won't mind the activity of students in the hostel rooms. But if we had created any problems, we were watched strictly.
Faculty: I am getting bored with the teaching standards of the teachers. They repeatedly read the slides and textbooks which is more frustrating for the students looking for valuable teachers. According to me, they won't meet the standards for our college payments.

The feel of this college is high, but it is worth it for its quality education.
Placements: Actually, I do not have any direct knowledge about placement, as there are still 2 years left for the placement process for our batch. But, as far as I know, the highest package is around 25 LPA. As our seniors said in the alumni meeting, the college has great internship facilities.

Review of IIM Ranchi – Indian Institute of Management.
Placements: Placement is extremely good, and the experience is fantastic. We have the chance to attend multiple campus interviews. The placement committee is very agile and works around the clock to provide awesome job opportunities for the students. The placement for the college has always been 100 percent. For this year, the average package is 13.21 LPA, and the highest package is around 35 LPA, which is more than the previous year. Companies like Deloitte, HPCL, BNY Mellon, Accenture, Baja Steel, L&T Infotech, etc., came to recruit our bright students. There are different levels of mock interview sessions and GD tests conducted by companies.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are good as per the fee taken for them, rooms are provided on a sharing basis that includes two sharing and three sharing as well. Food facilities are good, with a large variety of food provided in the mess. The hostels are well supplied with proper electricity, etc.
Faculty: All faculty members are super talented and knowledgeable in their respective fields. Business studies involved a lot of interaction with business ethics from faculty members. Timely activities helped us to understand the business benefits very closely. Interactive classroom studies and projects were mostly related to subjective studies. Exams are conducted once every semester, and before that, there are projects and assignments to be completed. Also, attendance is an issue here; you have to maintain a minimum of 60% attendance, or else you will be debarred from the examination. There are 2 mid-semester exams and one main exam. The curriculum is well thought out, highly comprehensive, and meets the requirements of the industry. The faculty is best in class in terms of their technical expertise and is highly approachable. A wide plethora of electives is offered so that a student can select the right mix of subjects.
