College was satisfactory in terms of infrastructure and faculty while placement was not available .

Placements: There were no placements available for science graduate students. Placements were available only for M.sc or M.sc (tech) or professional courses. Internships were available in own and other department also. Teachers encourage for doing internships under their guidance.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good with all basic facilities, books are available most of the i time in libraries , medical facilities were poor and Wi-Fi was available while lab could be better in terms of infrastructure. Parking was available for cycle, bikes and cars, even for students.

Faculty: All the Faculty were PhD holders, cooperative and interactive and had full support . Blackboard , PPT , Models were used as a teaching method. Student to faculty ratio 60 /15 . There were geological tour organised every year , which involve visit to mining areas and different geological exposures. Course curriculum was good but practicals were repetitive and very boring.

Other: College campus was good with a healthy environment with lots of activities going on every week , seminars and workshop were use to held in different department on different topics . Fest were organised at college and intercollege level in a highly competitive environment.

Absolutely satisfied with everything.

Placements: Placements after B.Sc. (Hons) Geology are not great, but with higher studies and M.Sc., the chances increase a lot. A Ph.D. also increases the chances of placements. Both government and private sector jobs are available, such as in GSI, ONGC, and the private sector for mining and geoscientists. UPSC opportunities are also available. The private sector usually focuses on foreign placements, which have high income potential. In the home country, the private sector is not well developed, but government-owned sectors are also lucrative. Overall, placements depend on the students’ quality of knowledge and skills.

Infrastructure: FMC hostel has a good mess with all types of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. You can get all kinds of food. Washing machines and other facilities are also available. Two people stay in one room in the FMC Girls' Hostel. Washrooms, mess, and hostel rooms are clean. The hostel staff's behavior is friendly and kind.

Faculty: Teachers are good, classes are regular, along with proper lab sessions and well-equipped labs. Teaching quality is good, and teachers are always available to solve doubts, guide students, and help them. The course curriculum is relevant, and proper classes help students score well in semester exams. Only the B.Sc. course does not make students industry-ready. Further studies are needed, and students must focus on honing their skills. The pass percentage is around 25-80%.
