The college had good placements and good environment.

Placements: Almost 99% of students got placements with good salary packages. The state rural livelihoods mission organisation, as well as a big CSR organisation come for placements. About 100% of students got internships. The lowest salary offered is Rs.25000 per month. In our course, most students took livelihood and health.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure were awesome at this university. In the library, you could find almost all the books related to the course, internship,s or research. The hostel was too good. The food was awesome. You will get 4 times food which includes evening snacks too. You could find all the sports equipment to play with and the coach help you to learn sports. You could also go to a sports tournament.

Faculty: The teachers at our university were too good and helped us to understand the topic from the basics. Once you have given attention in class then no need to study again for exams as professors used us to give assignments. By doing assignments, you will be getting easy understanding of the given topic which can help you in exams. There was no difficulty in the semester exams and there were grading marks. Almost every student passed with no tension of passing marks.

Other: I choose this course because as we know, in India, livelihood, and education is the biggest problem. If people are educated then he/ she is employed, so my scope was to learn how we can bring livelihood scope to group of people so that others can be motivated and unemployment could be decreased. Every year Unmukt is celebrated where a huge crowd can be seen. All the festivals are celebrated by student council.

I am absolutely satisfied with the quality of course curriculum, teachers and campus life.

Placements: Almost 90% of the students got placed from the entire college. The lowest salary package offered is around 3.5 LPA. The highest salary package offered until now was approximately 12 LPA. NGOs like Pradan, SBI Axis Bank and Byju's visit our college for recruitment. It is mandatory to do an internship for students for 6 weeks to have development.

Infrastructure: Currently, our university provides hostel only for girls. However, after 3 years, a 40-storeyed hostel will be ready for both boys and girls. The study room is available in the hostel, and the hostel provides a Wi-Fi facility for students. There is a dedicated library with access to various magazines, articles, etc., for free of cost, which is good.

Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and friendly. Azim Premji University has one of the top faculty members. Most of the sessions are interactive, which makes learning fun and interesting. The course curriculum is updated every year to make it useful.

Azim Premji University- Bangalore.

Placements: Azim Premji University has a good record of placements. Various kinds of organizations, starting from the ground root level up to office work came up for taking our students. About 80% of the students from the school of development got placements.

Infrastructure: Azim Premji University has a very well infrastructure. Even though we are still staying at a rented place because of the new campus being under construction. But, still, APU is providing all sort of facilities which a great campus do have. I hope to have a new campus by 2020.

Faculty: Faculty of Azim Premji University is very hard to find anywhere. They are much experienced, enthusiastic and cooperative towards the students. Many of our faculty have come from abroad to serve the country. If we talk about the course curriculum, then it is also very good and provide diversified knowledge.

Very good college for people wants to work in the field of development. Ph.D. could be option. L.

Placements: 90% placement in our batch and senior batch too. Percentage have been in student who opted for placements. The highest placement of 12lakh per annum whereas average was 4 lac for the course. Since it is more inclined towards social sector so it sees to many developmental sector organisation coming for placements.

Infrastructure: College is very good but it is in rented building. It is being run in PES campus of electronic city. It is a multi story building with awesome class set up. Hostel are not very good as it should be but then as it shifts to its own campus it will be a state of art university campus.

Faculty: Faculty is one of the Unique selling point of this college. Faculty have good experience and they have very good exposure of foreign university and it's way of delivering the course. I personally love all the courses and would suggest my friends to do Masters from there.

Other: College have different departments for extracurricular activities and it's give you change to nurture your intellectual and social ability.
