However it's a good course to study and also it'll help you in your future.
Placements: There are approximately 70-85% of students are selected for jobs. The highest package offered in our course was Rs. 65,000, and the lowest package was Rs. 50,000. And the average package was approximately 58,000. Students were selected by many top companies. From this course, approximately 90-95% of students were selected by higher companies. Roles offered are those of safety management officer, researcher, teacher, etc.
Infrastructure: The labs for environmental science were very good, clean, and well maintained. Classrooms are neither too normal nor too good. The library has enough stock of books. The Wi-Fi was slow sometimes. Hostels are too good as if everyone is friends and ragging is free. Students can easily stay there without any hesitation. Food is good but not so hygienic, but you'll get medical facilities in the hostels.
Faculty: Teachers teach us in polite ways; they act like friends to improve coordination between students and them. The subject is totally based on field visiting and practical related, so I think it's a good course to make students industry-ready and it will help them get selected by recruiting companies. Exams are not so difficult. If you study hard, then you'll easily get a high percentage.
Other: I like the course because I have some special interests in nature. Better equipment for practicals will improve the efficiency of this course.
