    I do not regret my decision to join Galgotias University.
    Placements: The average package in Galgotias University is 5.4 LPA. The university has offered 5500 above placements to its students this year. There are a lot of companies that visit the university during placement drives. The university also provides on-campus internships and internship opportunities in various top companies in other fields.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the university is top-notch, completely built on the basis of students' comfort and learning. The classrooms are smart and group discussion-oriented. The whole building has centralised AC. Every classroom has Wi-Fi available and even the hostel is very hygienic and affordable.
    Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful, cooperative, and supportive. Some mentors look after students' welfare. The course curriculum is relevant and it does prepare the students for the industry. The programme outcomes are to the point and the semester exams are easy if the students are well prepared.

    Absolutely recommended in terms of infrastructure, and still, the college is recommended overall.
    Placements: B.A. is not a very demanding course in terms of placements. At least 15 to 20% of the students got their placement. The highest package from B.A. last year was nearly 15 LPA, and I am not sure about the lowest package, but the average goes around 4 to 5 LPA. Even in B.A., there are recruitment opportunities from the top companies like EY. At least 40% of the students got the internship from the college itself, and others were capable enough to get off-campus internships. Roles are like HR, product manager, consultant, etc.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is world-class, especially the artificial intelligence block at the university. It is fully equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and technology even in the washrooms. Classrooms are fully digital with 5 large screens in a single class, promoting a digital environment. Talking about the hostel, the hostel rooms are good. The only disadvantage is the common washrooms of the hostel. The hostel mess is very clean with above-average taste of food. The free medical facility is provided by HCL Healthcare. The sports and games facility of the college is world-class.
    Faculty: Professors are well-qualified from the top universities across India and foster a student-centric education system. Professors use fully digital methods as instructed by the university. The university has the setup of an active learning space, which I think is a very rare addition in the Indian education system. The course curriculum is very nice here, with the addition of interdisciplinary courses and spiritual courses in some cases, for the overall development of students. The exams here are conducted in a very formal manner with severe strictness in terms of invigilation. The passing percentage is quite high.
    Other: I have to prepare for civil exams. Galgotias can provide me with all the facilities. One of the best things about B.A. Political Science at Galgotias includes the educational visits that Galgotias provides from time to time for a better understanding of the Indian political system. The university can focus on the timetable setting. The rest is fine. If you are interested in events, fests, college life, infrastructure, and extracurricular activities, then this university is the go-to place for you. Extremely recommended.

    Galgotias has excellent campus infrastructure and good 2015 placements. The faculty is bad.
    Placements: 90% of students from our course get placements in the media and news industry. Our college is very good at giving placements to students. Placements are provided in companies like NDTV, Aaj Tak, Salaam Namaste, Republic Bharat, etc.
    Infrastructure: Our college facilities are good. The infrastructure is adopted from Singapore. College gives us very good types of classes and they also provide smart classrooms too. Facilities are very good.
    Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They give us a good education. There is a good education system. They teach us practically and theoretically too. They provided proper notes and visual videos to help us to learn and it gave us good exposure in exams. They provide field visits to help us get experience. There are so many faculty members who did jobs in so many news channels.
    Other: On our campus, the crowd is very good. The people of Galgotias are very well mannered and their way of talking is also very good.

    The review will tell us about the pros and cons of my college.
    Placements: No relevant job opportunities are brought by the college. There are many companies with several job offers in different domains with alright packages. However, it is not sufficient with respect to what fee we paid to the college over the years.
    Infrastructure: All facilities are provided on the premises, like Wi-Fi and drinking water facilities. There are some lifts for faculty members. There is a problem with the network. There is cleanliness on campus, and coolers are only located on the ground floor and not on any other floors. Classrooms have AC.
    Faculty: In my course and almost every course, they have very comfortable and helpful faculty members, which allows students to interact with all kinds of questions. They still lack in curriculum and substitute teachers are also very good and interactive. The teaching style is also very good.
    Other: The only reason I chose this college is because the fee is comfortable but there is still overcrowding here I feel. According to their population, they don't have enough accommodation.

    Overall, it's a good university because of great infrastructure and decent faculty.
    Placements: In our college, most students got placed. One must get an 8 CGPA to sit in the placement round. Many companies come to our campus like Deloitte, Infosys, Amazon, and many more. The average package is 5.25 LPA and the overall highest package of our college is 1.5 crores per annum. Most of the business course students got placed in the sales department with the average package of 3 LPA-4 LPA.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college is excellent. Wi-Fi is provived in all the blocks. Classrooms are spacious and the classes are very interactive as big monitors and projectors are available in all the classes. Library is also good with books of all genres available and course books are available too. There are only boys hostel at our university and it's pretty good. The food quality is acceptable and the mess is very clean.
    Faculty: Faculty members of our college are good. Most of them are highly qualified. Most teachers have good teaching quality, but some of them need to improve more. Course curriculum which is provided to us is very relevant. Exams are easy if you study well. Pass percentage is 40%.
    Other: I chose this course because I find economics very interesting as a subject and I want to pursue data analytics, so this course is very helpful for me. Coming to the events and fest, many events are organized in our college and the biggest event is the Unifest which is held in April. There are many clubs in our college like music, dance, sports, teach, modelling, fashion, linguistic, placements, etc. The crowd on our campus is decent.
