Dissatisfied with teachers and their bad behavior.

Placements: 10% of students are placed in our course. The highest package offered is just 10 LPA. The lowest is 3.2 LPA. The top recruiters are HDFC Bank and Google. About 90% of students are placed in internships in banking companies and high-end tech companies.

Infrastructure: The college library is good, but the classrooms and labs are average at best, with zero to no comfort for students. Hostel facilities are worse. There is no hygiene in the canteens. The food is tasteless, and there is mess everywhere. There are zero facilities for games and sports in the college.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified but are not helpful at all. They are arrogant and only think of themselves. Semester exams are the most unfair thing in this college. Teachers just want to fail you. Mostly judge students based on their looks and satisfy their own ego.

Other: Connectivity is the best. Events take place, and the campus crowd is bearable.

Did I waste my 3 years at Islamia College of Science and Commerce? My honest college review.

Placements: Unfortunately, no student in my course got placed. The college has an official placement cell, but it is practically inactive. No student from my batch got an internship either. Any student for whom getting placed is a priority should think more before joining this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was kind of decent. The classrooms were both big and small. My favorite place in the entire college was the library. The library is well-maintained, with AC and Wi-Fi facilities as well. The hostel is average. The boys' hostel contains around 26 rooms. Three students stay in a room, making it difficult to have private space there. The food was also decent, though I personally found some hygienic issues. The college has a big group, and you can participate in multiple sports.

Faculty: Teachers were formally qualified and knowledgeable. However, most of them, except for a few, lacked effective teaching techniques. I feel the curriculum, for the most part, is not relevant from the industry perspective. You're mostly trained for getting good marks, not for jobs. The difficulty of the semester exams was moderate. Most of the students (80%) pass the exam easily.

Other: I chose this course because I was fairly good at the subject. I had decided in my 10th class that I would take the Commerce stream. However, I was a little disappointed with the syllabus. I feel that the syllabus taught at the Bachelor's level should be designed with the needs of the industry at the center. The college does organize events, but very few. I hope the college organizes more events in the future. About the scholarships, I'm not sure. I am from a general category. I don't think they have scholarship programs for reserved categories.

Dissatisfied with the infrastructure and expensive fees.

Placements: It is unfortunate to tell that there is no placement for our course in the university, no one ever placed, and no companies arrived there. It all seems so much off. They literally don't care about anything, never asked for it its bad, they just take the exam, nothing more than that.

Infrastructure: Average classroom and basic as a new building is being prepared, not well-equipped labs, average library, no road, hard to reach campus, the worst canteen, and no medical facilities. None of the sports and games, it is a below-average university, nothing here feels good.

Faculty: Faculty is good, curriculum is fine, and exams are all well, but its much of stress during continuous exams. Semester exams are very difficult, but they are conceptual. These courses are good, but it makes students industry ready. Teachers are well qualified.

Other: I chose this course because it has good practical work. No events, festivals, or anything is held.

Infrastructure: My department has low infrastructure. But classrooms are more comfortable, and smart classrooms with AC are available. Fast-speed Wi-Fi is available in biotechnology department at Central University of Kashmir. Labs are very good.

Faculty: In biotechnology department of Central University of Kashmir has well-qualified teachers. They have more and more knowledge on any topic. Our teachers are more helpful and appreciated. But end semester exam is more difficult, and 50% is the pass percentage.

Other: I chose biotechnology because I am interested in research field.

Excellent infrastructure, supportive faculty, and great placements.

Placements: In Our College (Islamia College of Science And Commerce), after completion of courses, they will give placements in some companies. In my course, 2-3 students were placed in a company, which is the greatest thing in our college. In other courses, they were placed in other companies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure in our college is very good. Our labs are maintained, and our college Wi-Fi is very good. Classrooms and the library are also good and well-maintained. The quality of the facilities in our hostel is extremely good, and the quality of food is the best that is available in the mess and also in the canteen. A medical facility is also available here. Sports and games are conducted every day by the Department of Physical Education.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, and they are qualified and extremely knowledgeable. Teaching quality is very good as per the students' needs. This course curriculum is relevant. It makes the students industry-ready. It's not so difficult to pass the semester exam. The passing percentage is almost 50% in each semester.

Other: I chose this course because my aim is to be a Network Engineer and a Cyber Security Analyst. There's nothing to change or improve about my course. Our college also mainly focuses on events, fests, connectivity, extracurricular activities, etc.
