It is a good college, but don't join this department because the faculty has less knowledge.

Placements: There are 80% of the students getting placed in this course. ₹6k is the annual fee with no company recruiting from this department. 50% of the students got internships. They offer a lot of workshops related to the rural development. It is a good course but the staff is not good.

Infrastructure: The college has the best infrastructure but low facilities in the hostel. The quality of food available is good. The medical facility is very good along with a free Wi-Fi, a big library, and classrooms with very good seatings being available. In the department of rural development, there is only one computer lab having one single computer only.

Faculty: 80% of the teachers are knowledgeable. Their quality of teaching is average. The semester exams are pretty easy to pass with 50% being the passing percentage. The teachers are well qualified but they do not have enough knowledge, they need to improve their knowledge. The students also want good qualified teachers.

Other: I chose this course in order to get a job in rural development or any other government sector. They need to improve the admissions and the staff. The events and meetings conducted by the college are very good.
