The lowest ranked Central University.
Placements: They're not providing placement for every school. Only management and engineering department students have the opportunity to grab a job through the university placement. Last year, only 20 students got placed. If we compare other colleges' packages, it seems very low compared to others.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also of poor quality. The classrooms are okay, and the whole classroom has centralized AC. Wi-Fi is also there. But the library is not sufficient for the university's strength. There is no other reading space other than the library. Library timing is 9 AM to 9 PM. Only basic medical facilities are provided at the health center.
Faculty: The curriculum and faculty are just okay, or average. Exams are too easy, and more students can easily qualify for their pass percentage. But the exam fee/semester fee is too high. There's no fee relation for other backward people or merit students. They're not providing any material.

Life in CUK is awesome.
Placements: Good placements, but there is a language barrier. There will be schools from Karnataka. There are average packages offered. Roles include teacher, economist, analyst, etc. I'm unaware of the companies. Only 1% of students were placed in my course. The low recruitment rate is a big problem.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for my course are good but a little bit slow. Classrooms are good. Medical facilities available here are somewhat okay. Sports and games facilities are also somewhat okay. The food is not suitable for me because of the taste.
Faculty: Good faculty. They teach valuable things. Yes, teachers are helpful, and they always teach for a bright future. The teaching quality is good. This course curriculum is relevant, but it doesn't make the students industry-ready. The semester is not a big thing for me.
Other: It's my interest in economics. The cultural activities are very good.
