Overall, It is the best university for the M.A. in Economics course.
Placements: Between 70 and 85 percent of students get placed each year. Although college placement is quite active, it doesn't change much. The average package is between 13 and 24 LPA. Top hiring firms include Korn Ferry, AON, and Adecco India, among others. Develops and interns are among the programs available. A lot of students receive internships.
Infrastructure: The college offers very fast Wi-Fi to students, probably faster than the other colleges' Wi-Fi. The library is top-notch, with books that any college student would ever want. Hostel rooms are very comfortable, almost like a hotel. The food offered is amazing at a reasonable price. Butter chicken is served regularly.
Faculty: All teachers are very helpful, knowledgeable, motivated, and supportive. Outside of classes, they also help students with their extracurricular activities. They also tend to focus on technical meetings. It is a bit difficult to crack the semester exams. The cutoff percentage for students is 70%.
