Problem with some teachers are there, otherwise it is very good .
Placements: B.A. Hons. Philosophy, 2022 batch saw 45% placements. The average package was INR 3.5 LPA. The lowest is around INR 2 LPA, and the highest is INR 6 LPA. The top recruiters are educational institutions. Limited internships are there for around 30% of students; common roles offered are research assistant, content writer, journalism, etc.
Infrastructure: I would give three stars to my hostel and four stars to my course facilities. The classrooms are average, wi-fi is fast and available everywhere, and the library is good too. The hostel facilities, however, could be better. The issue of wild animals roaming around in the hostel is a serious concern, and the food is acceptable. Canteen food is a better and more economical medical and sports facility available on campus.
Faculty: The teachers have some serious attitude issues; they talk rudely, and when a session is missed by chance due to any reason or accident, even after requesting it, they don't conduct sessional teaching. The quality of the teaching is good; a few teachers, however, are not helpful at all. Semester exams are easy, and pass percentages are okay too.
