Absolutely satisfied with it because of the good faculty members. Most importantly, good placements.
Placements: Almost 65% of students were placed in my course. The highest package offered was up to 3 LPA. The lowest was up to Rs. 80,000. The average was 2 to 2.5 LPA. Many top companies like Amazon, Google, and Zomato recruited students. 75% of students got internships at top companies like Amazon through my course. Top roles like graphic designer, artist, and manager were offered in my course.
Infrastructure: Facilities like free Wi-Fi, fully AC classrooms, many libraries, and good infrastructure were available in my course. The quality of facilities in my hostel was excellent. It was totally hygienic food, well-cleaned rooms with AC, and a playground for games and sports.
Faculty: Some teachers were knowledgeable. Their teaching quality was great. Faculty of some subjects was also good. This course did not make students industry-ready. Semester exams were not very difficult, as one could pass or score well by studying before the exam. The pass percentage was only 33%.
Other: I chose this course to pursue my dream further in this field. The best thing about my course was its placements in top companies. All things were great, but one improvement I think could be made is to help students learn mentally and physically by taking them to explore specific physical topics. Events and fests were organized annually, and there was a larger crowd than usual. The surroundings were great and calm. Scholarships were offered in the final year, and many extracurricular activities were performed.

Supportive and good faculty.
Placements: Approximately 85–90% of students get placed through campus recruitment. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the lowest package is 3.2 LPA. The average package is around 5.5 LPA. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Cipla, Lupin, Tata Chemicals, Biocon, and Thermo Fisher Scientific are recruiting companies. I am excited about new growth and success.
Infrastructure: Our department is well-equipped with modern infrastructure and facilities to support both academic and research needs. Key highlights include high-speed campus-wide Wi-Fi access for students and faculty. There are advanced and well-maintained labs for organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry with modern instruments such as UV-Vis spectrophotometers, FTIR, HPLC, and more. Classrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with smart boards and projectors.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, with most holding PhDs and having research or industry experience. They are approachable, supportive, and always willing to help with doubts and project guidance. The teaching quality is strong, with a good mix of theoretical depth and practical applications.
Other: I chose the B.A. course because I have a strong interest in the humanities. I want to explore subjects that help me understand society, culture, and human behavior. It also opens up diverse career paths in education, civil services, content creation, media, and more.

I'm satisfied with the college but a few things were very disappointing.
Placements: The number of students who got placed from my batch was only 9% to 10%. But in other technical courses placement is quiet good. The highest package was 2.40 LPA and the lowest package was 1.20 LPA. The average package was 2 LPA. Local companies came here which are situated in Kanpur. As I was a B.A. student no internship was offered in my course.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of my college was not too good. Classrooms conditions were very bad at that time. I don't know the present condition but when I was studying, no wi-fi, no digital classes were available. But now a little bit of improvement took place. There was no hostel and no canteen in my college. Medical facilities, sports, and games were available. NCC and NSS was also available. Anyone can join.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful and supportive. They always guide and show you the right path. One of the best things about this college was faculty members. They were well-qualified and possessed high experience and expertise in their respective fields. Their teaching methods were too good. Course curriculum was also relevant according to the course. Semester exams were not too difficult. If you have attended proper classes and studied well you will attempt all. Only 2% to 3% of students failed, otherwise passing percentage was good.

This university is good, trustable, and value for money.
Placements: Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj did not directly offer placements. It all depends on students how they prepare for jobs. Yes, college definitely helps to lead you but getting a job totally depends on the student's efforts and knowledge. College is good for preparation.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college, Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj, is good . There are good libraries, labs, and classrooms. There is also a vast playground in our college for yoga ,sports and physical activities. There are few completions that take place annually.
Faculty: In Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, we got tested in every three months; we called it midterm examinations. These examinations really help students to get good marks in real exams and they also increase there learning and memory power; they already got prepared for real exams.
Other: Honestly, Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University is really good and value for money but on the other side, it has a few downfalls, like the website's server down, exams postponed, etc. But it is known for upgrading old things, which is why this college is a good choice.

My university has an unbelievable environment to study, and it's really environmentally rich as well
Placements: Actually, all my seniors got internships, but not in famous places. They received a minimum package of 100,000 per annum, with the highest being 3 lakhs. Many of my seniors secured internships and jobs at News18 India, Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Inext, etc. Our top recruiters are Hindustan, Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, and Big FM.
Infrastructure: We have a good environment for studying. The good thing is that we have a studio for news-related programs to practice. I think the hostel quality is average. The infrastructure is the best in our university in all of Uttar Pradesh, and the placement is also not bad; it's good.
Faculty: Teachers are very experienced and helpful, with good qualifications. In my department, most of them hold a Ph.D. The curriculum is relevant and helpful in the industry. Semesters are not very difficult, but they are also not so easy.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to enter the TV industry, and my course gives me the opportunity to turn my dream into reality.
