Absolutely satisfied with college.
Placements: Majorly, students have got government PG seats, and there is very little detention and supplies. The college aims to teach you the concept rather than focusing on the completion of the subject. In fact, the students who pass MBBS easily get paid up to Rs. 50,000 for normal jobs.
Infrastructure: Hostels have their own personal washrooms and its double sharing. There is no issue with electricity or water. It also has its own single beds. You can opt for a single room, but the fee doubles, you can also get a table, chair, and an almirah set for yourself from the college.
Faculty: Our college has the best faculty. All faculty are from government colleges. All the heads of departments are government teachers, retired, or the best faculty of anatomy have their names in the BDC anatomy. The best book used to study anatomy by students. All teachers are very supportive, and you even get your personal mentors.
Other: The campus is good as it is in a valley, and local people are helpful.

Attendance is the only good thing here.
Placements: Placements here depend on yourself, I would say. You can get plenty of time for yourself compared to other government colleges. Average package is around 5 LPA even for CSE and IT. While recruiters like Infosys, Wipro, Capgemini, Adobe, and TCS do visit campus, opportunities are limited, even more so for non CS branches.
Infrastructure: Our college has poor infrastructure. There is no hostel facility despite being under HPU. The whole college is just one building with no campus. Labs and classrooms feel outdated, and facilities lag behind modern standards. However, I can say things are improving. The scenic location is a plus point, though.
Faculty: There are some stingy teachers. Faculty members are well-qualified, helpful, and will solve your doubts if you approach them. I would say it's kind of a mixed bag. Most of the faculty is outdated though, so motivation still makes the difference. Exams are written, and there's a saying here that more sheets equal more marks.
