Faculty was good. Good environment to study.

The hostel mess has a special menu for each of the seven days, and they also provide snacks during the evening time. The registration process is very simple; we can register in the hostel office within 30 minutes. My native district is Dharmapuri, and the college is located in Chidambaram, so I stay in the hostel.

The hostel warden is very good in nature.

Placements: This university provides courses like Masters, M.Phil Pre-Ph.D, Ph.D. These courses are aimed at providing a career in a broad research field or will help you be a lecturer. Many of the students have been appointed in many national-level research labs as JRF or SRF. Many students have been appointed as lecturers or assistant professors after qualifying for NET, GATE or SSB. Many freshers have qualified NET and GATE and they are definitely going to be appointed as JRF in different institutes in the future days or they may select lectureship as their professions.

Infrastructure: There are so many rooms in our hostel. Some room contains 4-person facilities some contains 6 and some contains 10-room facilities. According to the members of the room, there will be fans a table, and a cot. Menu like sambar rasam curd and some vegetables as a side dish weekly nonveg in our menu. Hostel Fee : INR 50000 per year.

Faculty: I chose botany because I always have had an interest in sciences related to life but rejected Zoology because I can not SEE the dissection of animals. Botany is also the subject I love most and its practical are easy to perform at home even. And have a special interest in medicinal plants. The Faculty is sufficient to take classes in both years. Three teachers for 2 classes. So I can say the ratio for faculty to students is nearly 1:25. Well-qualified teachers with Ph.D. and qualified SET, GATE. Teaching methods are good to relate with day-to-day and keep the focus on the syllabus. Examinations every 2nd month in between these Tests are also held. Examination moderate equally tough questions and easy. Class size is 59 and course fees is INR 38000 per year.

I suggest this university to students because of its minimum budget.

Placements: Placements were low compared with other departments. Roles offered were medical representatives or business executives. The average salary offered ranges between Rs.10,000 per month and Rs.15,000 per month.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was top-class. It provided a big library in India and Wi-Fi was enabled on campus. Classrooms were better. It also provided a big indoor and outdoor stadium. The hostel infrastructure was good and the food quality was not fine.

Faculty: Our course curriculum was relevant and it made students ready for the industry. The subject was growing on a daily basis so they should update properly. Semester exams were not difficult. Teachers were not helpful but few of them were knowledgeable and well-qualified.

Other: I opted for this course because of my interest since childhood. The best thing about this course was that we can understand the life and living system better. We were doing old practical techniques which was not currently used in any industries or research laboratory. This college should focus on improving the course curriculum of practicals. Overall, this university encouraged everyone to perform extracurricular activities. Scholarships were also provided to meritorious students.

Infrastructure: Average infrastructure when I studied here. But now they modified and maintained neatly and placed so many samples in our department which give ideas about that subjects. We have a separate library, cultural function depends upon the head of the department.

Faculty: Best experienced staff could help students to understand core knowledge about the subjects in practical as well as theory. They will bring you to fields to teach the origin and occurrence of a fossil or minerals. Compulsory they well held field camp.

Other: I have loved this course since my childhood and when I've completed high school then I like to do this course because we can learn every subject in geology. Moreover, it's a practical course so could enjoy the field and learn simple.
