Master of Commerce (M.Com.) - Batch of 2026
3.8
3.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money
It is good for students in government exams, but not for those who want to earn by skills in private
Placements: The placement rate is really poor at the University of Allahabad. The top recruiters are TCS and two other companies for us M.Com students. Only one girl was selected by the company in our batch after the online interview. The salary that was paid was around Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 in Gurgaon.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the hostel is good but the cut-off for hostels is very high. The Wi-Fi system is very good and it is available all over the university with an individual ID and passwords. The classrooms are typical old classrooms, and the library is also good.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful and are quite knowledgeable, you can see them individually if you need to find out. They are eventually updating the curriculum, for the Master's level, for each semester you have to give three exams T1, T2, and final, and between T1 and T2 you can select one.

Honest and only facts, no bias.
Placements: The placement is very bad here because of mismanagement. You can't get a chance to know if companies are coming or what the process is nothing. I think not a single person got an internship from this University. If you are a topper and score 100 out of 100, then you get a chance to get a job.
Infrastructure: The campus is good, but as you know, it is a government college, and like a government school, this college is also damaged. We were sitting in class and praying that the ceiling wouldn't fall. The girls' washrooms are like they last cleaned them in 2000 BC. They were very bad. On their profile, they promise everything is there, but in reality, nothing is.
Faculty: Other than the above things, the teachers and faculty are good. They don't tell you when your exam is, you get to know by someone else or a group. They don't tell you about anything you ask. Rather, they look into your soul and give a smile. They teach very well. They cover everything in one to two lines, but in the exam, they ask you to fill 15 pages for each question.
Other: I chose this course because my friends were doing it, and if I wish to improve anything related to my course, then I want to change my course because this is a waste of time. If I talk about fests, no fest, no extra things, nothing, but it is good for NCC and sports persons.

Extremely happy with the faculty, facilities, and fests which are also affordable.
Placements: In terms of placement the college is not that good but they have many activities that would eventually improve your skills. The placement cell is not that good. If you are trying to take admission for college placement I suggest you not.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are very good. They have almost everything on our campus but the washrooms here are not that clean. Excluding the washrooms everything is top class especially the library. They have NCC and NSS as an activity. They also conduct annual sports, debates, speeches, and quizzes.
Faculty: The only best thing about university is the great faculty, here teachers are very polite, and they are also very helpful. The exams they conduct are tough. They usually don't give numbers easily. The pass percentage is quite good if you are good at studying.
Other: Except for the washrooms the infrastructure is good and if you want to prepare for civil services this course is best for you.

Review of Allahabad University.
Placements: 30-40% of students got placed in my course. Other students opt for higher studies and go for a master's. The lowest package offered is 1.5 LPA, and the highest package offered is 3 LPA. Many top recruiting companies hire students from this college. Top roles offered are assisting in a news channel. Majorly, students get internships here.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good here. The course building is very good and well-maintained. There are no washrooms for girls. There is no facility of RO water in the whole university, as if we don't deserve to get the basic things like water and stuff. Hostels are in very poor condition.
Faculty: Exams here are very tough, so it's very hard to score good marks. Faculty members will not give us more than 70% if we do whatever we want. The average marks lie between 50-60%, and it is very demotivating as a student studying hard here because they don't appreciate it.
Other: There are no fest .

Offered by Sadanlal Sanwaldas Khanna Girls’ Degree College

2.0Placements4.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty3.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money
It has safe and supportive environment for girls.
Placements: Placements in my course are limited, and only some of the students got placed through campus drives, not everyone. Most offers are for entry-level roles in sales and marketing. The average package is around Rs 2.5 LPA, with the highest going up to about Rs 5 LPA, but in very rare cases. Very few well-known companies visited the campus, so many students preferred to look for off-campus opportunities or pursue higher studies like CA, ACCA, MBA, etc. Internship opportunities are available, but students have to try to get it by their own initiative only.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is quite good and sufficient for basic academic needs. Classrooms are functional, and the library has a vast collection of course-related books and literature books too. It had conference halls and an auditorium too. However, some facilities need improvement. The washroom conditions are not well-maintained and require better cleanliness. The college does not provide hostel facilities, which can be convenient for outstation students. But they can prefer PGs around the college location. Overall, the infrastructure is manageable for studies but still has scope for improvement.
Faculty: The faculty members are generally so helpful, qualified, and supportive towards students. Every teacher explains concepts clearly and is approachable for doubts. Every student has a mentor -mentee record. The curriculum is relevant for building conceptual knowledge as well as practical knowledge. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty, and students who study regularly can pass without much difficulty. The passing percentage is 40% as per NEP. The overall pass percentage in the course is average.
Other: I chose this course to build a strong foundation in commerce and prepare for higher studies as I'm pursuing CA. The best part of the college is the disciplined environment and supportive faculty members. The campus crowd is decent, and students are generally focused on academics. Events and extracurricular activities are organized occasionally. Damodarshree is a special event organised by the college every year on 11th October, which provides good exposure and participation opportunities. However, I feel the college should improve placement support and infrastructure maintenance. Overall, the college is suitable for students who are self-motivated and planning for higher studies.

Medical facilities are also available with good sports and games complex and a well-stocked library.
Faculty: Teachers and our faculty are very supportive, well-qualified, and knowledgeable, and give good quality explanations. The semester exams are not so difficult as our college is affiliated with A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow, so it follows the rules from them.
Other: I choose this because I am interested in this course, and it has better scope in future related to artificial intelligence. Many types of events are organized in our college like Enigma, and our college also provides scholarships to every eligible student.
