Best for academic purpose, good food .
Placements: My batch includes 38 students admitted to the MSW course. Unfortunately, our department currently does not have any placements. However, the placement cell is expected to start soon. Other departments, like MBA, have placement opportunities at the central university.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at CUK is quite good, with ongoing construction. All departments have access to Wi-Fi, and library facilities are available. There are four hostels each for girls and boys, equipped with Wi-Fi, food, and other amenities. The health center, Aravalli, is also available.
Faculty: Teachers in my department are qualified and skilled. As a social work student, I find the curriculum very helpful for practical applications. Exams follow university arrangements and include internal exams, which are quite manageable.
Other: I chose MSW for its significant scope in today’s world, where we can help people. I would appreciate more practice-oriented classes as it is a practical course. The university festival, Cankama, is well-celebrated and is the biggest event at the university.

Outstanding professors and a good campus pave the way for a better future.
Placements: The college also provides placements for the students. The students who are in the last year of their graduation are eligible for campus placements. Many big companies like TCS, Wipro, and others come to our college for recruitments. Around 80% of students are placed here. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the average package is 4-5 LPA.
Infrastructure: The hostel room is big and spacious, usually accommodating 3 members. We can decide who we want as our roommates while getting admission to the hostel. The hostel room provides a table, a chair, and cupboards, etc. The meals vary on different days. The taste, quality, and quantity of the food are nice, and the food is cooked in a very hygienic way. There is a big gym for the students, and strong Wi-Fi facility is also available. The registration process is straightforward.
Faculty: MSW is a professional course that helps you make a positive impact on society. The MSW course provided by the university focuses on three main specializations: Medical and Psychiatry, Community Development, and HR. Students can select their specialization in the second year of the course. The department has 7 faculty members for 62 students. Faculty members have high qualifications, and most of them have studied in more than one subject. Before every exam, faculty evaluation is conducted, and the year's selected faculty members conduct timely exams. There are two internals per semester, along with assignments and seminars. If we put our best efforts into those, they are easy for us to pass. Class Size: 60 Course Fees: INR 14400 per year.

Nothing is there in this college.
Placements: College has good placements, with 60% of students placed. The highest package was 5 LPA, and the lowest was 1.9 LPA. However, 70% of the students did not get internships from any companies on campus. The top recruiting companies are Nirman Org and Infosys Org.
Infrastructure: College could have better infrastructure and facilities. Basic amenities like washrooms, water, and Wi-Fi are not up to the mark. The hostel is the worst, don't join there as there are no hot water facilities, no power backup, and no privacy.
Faculty: College has no curriculum and is a waste of time. If you only want a degree certificate, then only join this college. Students are only getting internships in MNC companies, but after one week, they terminate us and tell us we're not up to the mark.
