It is an average college, but there are no placements.
Placements: The college doesn't provide any direct placements. It is basically a Hons course, and if you are really interested in taking the course, make sure that you have a plan for further continuing with M.Sc. You can always apply for government jobs after completion of your degree.
Infrastructure: The campus is present in the centre of the university. It is near Maulana Azad Library. Classrooms are good. There is a computer lab, seminar hall, library and labs. There are a library and canteen at the backside of the department. Football and basketball courts are also available near the department.
Faculty: Faculty members of the department are well educated, but some of them aren't well versed with the teaching method. Almost 60% of attendance is mandatory. Some teachers are really helpful in every activity. The course curriculum is not hectic, and you can do various extracurricular activities simultaneously.
