That's why many students opt for higher studies in India or abroad, such as Ph.D. or postdoc, and a few get research assistant jobs.

I recommend taking admission in this university.

Placements: Placements are not very high, but the education is good. Placements are low, which is why the NAAC rating is B+. The college is relatively new, so some departments do not have many placements yet. The Psychology department has good placements, so if you are interested in that department, you can join.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure and hostel are good, compared to other colleges, it is good. The hostel is very good, but the temperature is often very hot. Hostel facilities are good. The rooms are big, with six members in each room. Hostel facilities are provided for all students.

Faculty: Teachers are good-natured and helpful to students. They assist with studies. Exams are conducted strictly. If you study properly, you can pass the exam because the paper is not easy and you have to study.

Other: Best university for admission if you are not selected elsewhere.

The college has dreams, but not upto the mark.

Placements: There are no maximum placements, but education is good. The placements are too low, that's why their NAAC is B+. This is not too old college, that's why they have no placements in more departments. The engineering department does not have good placements. So, if you are interested in that department, you can join.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college and hostel is good compared to all colleges. The hostel is not that good, and the temperature is very hot here. The hostel facilities are good, such as rooms that are big, and in one room, 6 members are there. Hostel facilities are provided for all students.

Faculty: The teachers are good in nature, and they help students with their studies. Exams are strictly conducted. If you study properly, you can pass the exam because it's not an easy paper, you have to study for the exam. They are pretty much understandable.

Review of Central University of Karnataka.

Placements: Placements for the psychology department are not good. If we do internships at a good institution, then we can try to get a job there. The university is not providing that much importance to placements in our department. It's in our own hands to get proper placements.

Infrastructure: The hostel is good but not exceptional. The climate in this city is very hot. Wi-Fi facility is available, and regular classes are conducted. Labs are present, but they lack sufficient equipment. More resources are needed for labs, but efforts are being made to improve them.

Faculty: Faculty members are good. Their teaching style is effective, making it easy to understand. They help students with study guides. They conduct exams as per the schedule. Exams are held strictly, and no cheating or other misconduct is allowed. The course curriculum is good. The course options provided are extensive.

The best infrastructure and value for money.

Placements: Almost 80% of the students got placements in any job or teaching profession. After doing this course, most of the students are associated with teaching professions. The highest package is 8 LPA. The lowest package is 4 LPA, which increments over time. Students are working in various private organizations and government primary and high schools.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities here are very good. All kinds of facilities are available here, such as free internet, playgrounds on a large campus, medical facilities, and separate laboratories for each department. The classrooms here are all very advanced. There is a canteen on campus where all kinds of foods are available with good quality food at low prices. There are hostel facilities also.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good. They are all very helpful and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of the teachers is very good. This course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the students industry-ready. Faculty members help students with all their work. Semester exams are a bit difficult, students have to study hard to pass.

Review of Central University of Karnataka, psychology department.

Placements: The placement for psychology department is not good. If you can do internships at a good institution, then you can try to get a job there. The university is not providing that much importance to the placement in our department. It's in your own hands to get proper placement.

Infrastructure: At the university level. The Central University of Karnataka is not that much of a top-level university. But in the case of the psychology department, it's one of the best places to get admission if you are a research enthusiast. The total department is very well. The hostel is only average as well as the food. The medical facilities are also at an average level. At the sports level, you can have a good hope of becoming something in this field.

Faculty: Our psychology department is one of the best in South India compared to other South Indian Central Universities. Also, the syllabus is very good and structured. There is one paper in 2nd semester that is only taught in our university called the APA manual. It is a helpful and unique paper that can give more insights into research. If you are interested in research this will be your best choice. Overall it's the best choice for psychology.
