Budget-wise, I am wholly satisfied with the college experience and curriculum.

Placements: There were no college placements, but internships were offered, and they were given guidance about their roles and how to pursue higher education. Many joined the internship program offered by the college management. There was no stipend, but a certificate might help.

The infrastructure and facilities are good, but I am not satisfied with the placements.

Placements: Placement in this college was not possible. There was no placement facility at Chaudhary Mahadeo Prasad Degree College. 0% of students got placements through the college placement facility. There was nothing to mention regarding the highest, lowest, or average package in this college.

Best in PG Economics.

Placements: There was no placement. This was not a private university. It was a central university. There were no private placements, and most students prepared for government jobs, especially UPPSC and UPSC. University did not provide placements, but it made students knowledgeable enough to get jobs easily.

Good for preparation for side exams or one-day exams. Attendance is not mandatory.

Placements: I am not aware of any placement opportunities so far. No placement cell is available. Faculty is not involved in improving students' overall knowledge or future. They are here only for the sake of a government job and its facilities. Students have to focus on self-learning.
