Good academics and supportive faculty, with scope for better facilities and placements.
Placements: Around 50% of the students in our course got placed. The average package offered is nearly Rs. 20,000 per month, while the highest and the lowest packages are not known currently. Most of the roles are software-related jobs. A few students also got internships in reputed IT companies, which help them gain industry exposure and practical experience along with academics.
Infrastructure: The college provides classrooms and a library with decent facilities for students, along with basic Wi-Fi and lab access. There is no hostel service available, but the canteen facility is clean and good with hygienic food. Sports and medical facilities are limited, but overall, the campus is well-maintained for academic purposes.

Review of SJR College for Women.
Placements: My college has no placements. No companies enter our college. Students have to search for internships by themselves and complete it. The college is not responsible for providing the same.
Infrastructure: There is no hostel facility, but I must say the infrastructure is kind of cool. It has well-facilitated labs like chemistry, physics, biology, biotechnology, and a computer with a Wi-Fi facility. We have a huge campus and a huge library where we find a book of everybody's interest.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Teachers are well-versed in the subjects but lack in delivering the content to students. They support us in academics and also help us get ready for the industry. Semester exams are not so difficult to pass and easy to score. Teachers also do not provide corporate knowledge to students.
Other: The best thing is that we have a bus stop just next to our college. There are no time clashes in the morning session with the other college timings. We even have a LuLu Mall (100 meters) from my college. Extracurricular activities are also given a chance.

Each floor, drinking water, and restroom facilities
Faculty: Very good teaching facilities and experienced teachers, don't hesitate to help when we have doubts. Course is very well updated and made changes with respect to the changing environment, easily adaptable.
Other: Our college not only focuses on studies but also on sports and culture. It is very well known in sports and has good records in most fields.

Best college for fashion designing, great placement, and good infrastructure.
Placements: I have just completed my first year, so students in my batch have more than enough time to get placed. On average, the package that has been offered is somewhere around 4.2 LPA. Since the college provides 100% placement assistance. Almost all the students get placed, and some get PPO from their internship too.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is one of the best things here. Although I am not a student of interior design, but I know when I see a good one. Every class is modelled after the type of course. There are projectors and equipments for each course in the designed classrooms.
Faculty: Teachers are indeed helpful. I have a better bond with the teachers than with our classmates. They are knowledgeable and very kind. Asiya ma'am is our HOD, and she guides us through so many things, from fashion shows to portfolios. The curriculum is so industry-friendly, filled with practical work and workshops.
