Best college for enjoying college life.

I have passed out, it turned out good. The campus is well maintained.
Placements: There were 60 percent of the students in my college with B.Com. 3 LPA is the package offered. Even recently this year, in the month of March, there was a large placement drive arranged in my college. Most of them were probably like 40 percent, not many qualified though.
Infrastructure: The classroom was well organized. The courses had a variety. There was no hostel system, which is the biggest thing. The ground was not maintained. I first took admission in the college in 2021. Wi-Fi was working for students, but they later took it off.
Faculty: Faculty was good. The curriculum and exams were also good, examples of taking classes well before the exam. I cannot judge about the college case, it turned out well. It’s the universe that’s under my college. The grading system is not good, but well, it is what it is, you just have to study hard. Well, I am not that type.
Other: I chose the B.Com course, it was my family’s choice, not mine, but it turned out well. The campus is not that good, and events happened very rarely.
