I'm not that much satisfied with my university because the academics are quite good.
Placements: Very average on placement, the packages are offered around 20,000 - 40,000 INR. Mainly mines and quarries are recruiting. 60-70% of students are getting internships, and the syllabus is very good for the students who want to get a good job, you have to consider this.
Infrastructure: There is a very good facility in the hostel, especially the washrooms, which are very clean and well-maintained, so it’s not a problem for us. The reading room is there for us, and it’s very nice and quiet. The hostel has a very good environment for studying, and that will definitely help us.
Faculty: There are mainly 3 types of exams: 2 internal exams, 1 mid-sem test which is very crucial and important, and finally, end-semester exams. The curriculum is very relevant and industry-ready, and very good for students who are interested in various other competitive exams. Semester exams are not very difficult, easy to pass, but it’s very hard to get a good grade without proper preparation for exams, and the pass percentage is 90-100%.
Other: Because I completed B.Sc. Geology (Hons), I opted for this course. The course is not that much hard and relevant. Great events are arranged regarding the subject, and no other co-curricular activities are conducted.
