Good infrastructure. Don't know about placements.
Placements: The course which I am doing contains many students but I can only see 5–10 students. But teacher is good in behavior. Honestly, I don't know about the package, but once the principal told me that they were going to do a content writing job for everyone, and that was the only first and last day that I heard about any job through my principal.
Infrastructure: It has Wi-Fi but only 34 mb a day. The library is decent. The department, which I have, includes around 100+ students, but none of them attend the class; only 5-7 students do. This seems a little disappointing. Classrooms are good. This college does not have a hostel or mess.
Faculty: Fees is reasonable. Teachers are also helpful but not all. A few are very sweet and good in nature but rest are just not their teaching skills. As it is a government college, everyone know how they will teach. The exam are kind of tough. CU didn't allow me to clear any of my semester.

College teachers were helpful and qualified, and their teaching was good.
Placements: Around 50% of students got placed in the course. Rs. 10,000 was the highest salary, and Rs. 5,000 was the lowest. The average salary offered in the course was Rs. 4,000. The top-ranking company was Google. 40% of students got internships through the course and companies. The college provided the placement facility.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library were available. The food was good. Medical facilities were available. Sports and games were also played. The classrooms were clean. The mess food was good. The canteen food was good, but either very expensive or low in quantity. The college facilities were good.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was good. The semester exam was sometimes difficult. The passing percentage was 50%. The course curriculum was good. It made students industry-ready for the future. The semester exams were held on time. Each subject carried 25 marks.
Other: Hindi was my favourite subject, and my course was good. The college events and fests were also good. The campus was clean, and the surrounding area was good. Our teachers were helpful.

My college is good enough, including faculty, placement, internship, infrastructure, and environment
Placements: The percentage of students who were placed in my college is up to 80–90%. The highest package offered in my company is INR 30 lakh, the lowest package offered in my company is INR 6 lakh, and the average package offered in my company is INR 15 lakh. The top recruiting companies are Accenture, Wipro, Capgemini, Candor, KPMG, LTI, The Times of India, and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education. The percentage of students who got internships was 90%. Top roles offered are marketing management, graphic designer, content writer, copywriter, bank clerk/PO, executive manager, etc.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available in my department are classrooms, libraries, labs, the office of the principal, offices of employees who are working for the college, a rest room for all the faculty out there, a canteen with delicious food, a beautiful garden with colorful flowers, cute plants, trees, a playground, and a neat and clean campus. The quality and facilities of my hostel are like this: we have 3 beds, a fan, a study table, a wardrobe, a washroom with an attached bathroom, wifi, and food for 3 times: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen, medical facilities, sports, and games is good enough.
Faculty: Yes, the teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They will take you to adventurous and historical places where you are going to learn a lot. The semester exams are quite difficult. In each subject, we have to score 33 to pass.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to explore more about the arts, history, and GK. The best thing about my course is that you will learn more about India and its culture and traditions. I think adding some knowledge about that period when the Ramayana and Mahabharata happened can increase students' interests. If I talk about events, fests, crowds, connectivity, etc., everything was average.
