M.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2025

3.2

3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Recommended for students who are able to pay moderate fee.

Placements: Some of the private sectors like Biocon, Arcadis, and Ranbaxy are usually pick profile candidates for their annual session with maximum pay. They help us to gain challenging roles in various organisations and research centres. The least pay offered by the sector would be 2.8 LPA.

Infrastructure: This is one of the top universities in Karaikudi which has highlighted features and performances that are quickly noticeable from their college website. Hostellers are levied with reasonable charges for accommodation as well as food expenses. Tuition fees vary from one person to another based on their previous records and their history.

Faculty: Teachers have sufficient knowledge and are able to cope up students with such knowledge. Slighter adjustments are made in the notes and materials collected from the previous batches and distributed to the student for studying. Teachers sometimes paid attention to the students' requirements.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2022

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, best university for MBA course.

Placements: About 96% of the students in my batch had been placed. Placements were still going on. The highest bid was INR 30 LPA, the lowest was INR 10 LPA, and the average bid was INR 20 LPA. Citibank, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, etc., were the top hiring companies last year. About 90% of students got internships. Top roles offered were CEO, CFO, and so on.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was solid. The wireless network was impressive. Nevertheless, Wi-Fi was accessible only for laptops. University bans the use of mobile phones for Wi-Fi. The infrastructure was solid. Additionally, the laboratories were available during extended hours for interested students. Classrooms and libraries were beneficial. The hostel accommodations were fairly simple, lacking in any luxuries.

Faculty: Some faculty members did not help much but some were very helpful. Here, faculty members were well-educated. The teaching quality of every faculty was excellent. The teaching method was very helpful to the students. Teachers placed students on a daily basis so there was no placement. The semester exams were relatively tough, and the pass rate was 50%.

MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management - Batch of 2021

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, the best College for an MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management course.

Placements: An MBA is acceptable, but placement opportunities for other branches are nonexistent. Not a single company from the civil branch comes to our college. MBA student's score was 93% in 2018. Maximum stipend for a student is 45k monthly, which I believe is quite favorable for a newcomer. Highest level positions include Financial Analyst, Financial Manager, and others.

Infrastructure: The college building has 8 floors, and it is the tallest building in Tamil Nadu. The college has a Wi-Fi facility in the computer lab, and the classrooms have blackboards with display devices. A library of non-new books. The college offers separate hostels for boys and girls.

Faculty: Faculty is average, where most of them are new faculty with very little teaching experience, like freshers. Good teaching is average, not highly qualified teachers. Most of the curriculum was one-size-fits-all and often repeated. Course is not updated as required by the project.

Infrastructure is good for the fee charged, but placements are poor. The faculty is good.

Placements: Placements are not good. It is helpful to give jobs and suggestions. Staff members are friendly. It offers high fees. I suggest students choose this college. B.Sc. in visual communication and computer science courses are good at this college.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good, but the hostel is average. It's a small college, and the fee structure is affordable. We are more likely to join the college. It's totally disappointing. So I suggest students do not expect the college and college life. Students can go to the college directly, visit classrooms, and decide to join the college.

Faculty: The minimum number of faculty members is working. Most of the faculty members are friendly. They clear doubts we ask anytime. They are helpful and support participants in all competitions and cultural fests. Some faculty members are helpful in our personal lives and family situations, in arranging part-time jobs.
