My honest review about my college.

Placements: From the 3rd semester, students are eligible to attend the interview. IBM and Hi-tech information teams visited the college and offered a salary of 10,000 per month. IBM gave a package of 15,000, which is the highest salary. 25% got placed. The education provided to us helped to get job opportunities in leading government organizations like the Telephones and Civil Aviation Department.

Infrastructure: The curriculum is well-structured and comprehensive, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of subjects, so the cost layout is logical and the syllabus is regularly updated. The curriculum is relevant to the industry, and the faculty is innovative, engaging the mix of lectures, discussions, case studies, and hands-on projects. The faculty also encourages active participation and critical thinking. As I was a day scholar, I could not provide more details on the hostel, but I was told that the hostel facilities are comfortable and not so expensive like today's fee structure, which could be managed by all.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and passionate about teaching. They are always friendly towards students and help to make complex concepts easy to understand. I am from the English department, and all the staff members in our department are very friendly. They are all the best faculty members. I really love them. Exams are always a little bit difficult in some subjects and easier in others. We are 8 students in our class, and all cleared the exams; the cases are also very interesting for learning. The faculty was good, and the teaching methods were great and easily understood.

5.0

Overall Best University for M.A. in English Course.

Placements: All students have 70% placement, with an average package of 14 Lacs. Agencies that visit our campus include IDP Education, India Today, Twitter, etc. 65 per cent of students got internships, and the highest package for students is 25 Lacs. All placements are managed on campus, and students support students throughout the process. The high-quality services provided are Translators, Interpreters, and more.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good here. Labs are equipped. The hotel is good. Sometimes food is bad. I want to stay in PG. Gymnasium and sports facilities are provided free of charge at the hotel. Classrooms are good. But there is no smart board in any class. There is Wi-Fi on campus, but no one knows the password. Only lab computers can use Wi-Fi. Also, if you need to appear, it requires a GATE pass every time. There is no freedom.

Faculty: The professors at Alagappa University are extremely helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Real-life examples are used to facilitate the understanding of topics. The semester exam becomes more manageable after studying the material provided by the teachers, and students are not only able to pass but also get good marks. The pass rate is 90%.

Master of arts at Alagappa University.

Placements: The maximum and average payment given to the placed students were 8.9 Lacs and 3.4 Lacs. We got connected with the alumni's who got passed out from the college. Also they were invited to college to share about the updated information for getting placed in top companies.

Infrastructure: Hostel areas were strictly under the surveillance of wardens. We should strictly follow the schedule that was suggested by the college management in hostel. Classrooms holds the capacity of 150 students, but they are allowing only 30 to 45 students in a class.

Faculty: No chance for bunking class and other entertainment activities. Students were under the supervision of the teachers at all the time. Other than the semester examinations we have undergone lot of practice tests, assessment. No time to participate in some other events other the studies.
