B.A. (Hons.) in Political Science - Batch of 2026

Offered by Galgotias University

4.2

3Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Absolutely recommended in terms of infrastructure, and still, the college is recommended overall.

Placements: B.A. is not a very demanding course in terms of placements. At least 15 to 20% of the students got their placement. The highest package from B.A. last year was nearly 15 LPA, and I am not sure about the lowest package, but the average goes around 4 to 5 LPA. Even in B.A., there are recruitment opportunities from the top companies like EY. At least 40% of the students got the internship from the college itself, and others were capable enough to get off-campus internships. Roles are like HR, product manager, consultant, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is world-class, especially the artificial intelligence block at the university. It is fully equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and technology even in the washrooms. Classrooms are fully digital with 5 large screens in a single class, promoting a digital environment. Talking about the hostel, the hostel rooms are good. The only disadvantage is the common washrooms of the hostel. The hostel mess is very clean with above-average taste of food. The free medical facility is provided by HCL Healthcare. The sports and games facility of the college is world-class.

Faculty: Professors are well-qualified from the top universities across India and foster a student-centric education system. Professors use fully digital methods as instructed by the university. The university has the setup of an active learning space, which I think is a very rare addition in the Indian education system. The course curriculum is very nice here, with the addition of interdisciplinary courses and spiritual courses in some cases, for the overall development of students. The exams here are conducted in a very formal manner with severe strictness in terms of invigilation. The passing percentage is quite high.

Other: I have to prepare for civil exams. Galgotias can provide me with all the facilities. One of the best things about B.A. Political Science at Galgotias includes the educational visits that Galgotias provides from time to time for a better understanding of the Indian political system. The university can focus on the timetable setting. The rest is fine. If you are interested in events, fests, college life, infrastructure, and extracurricular activities, then this university is the go-to place for you. Extremely recommended.

Future University gives you the best placement and quality education with the power of AI.

Placements: I am in my second year of my Bachelor of Pharmacy course, so I didn't have knowledge about that, but my seniors have very good jobs. Overall, the experience in college was good, and teachers are motivated for placement and well-paying jobs.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my Future University is very lovely and beautiful. The labs are very advanced, and now Future University is the first AI-enabled university, so a lecture on AI and technology is added to every course. I didn't issue a hostel, so I have no information for that.

Faculty: The faculty of my department is very motivating and very qualified. Every teacher is a passed MPharm, and the teaching quality is superb. The course B.Pharma is ready for the industry. The Future University provided an international conference and a national conference to boost the knowledge of students. The semester paper is similar difficult as AKTU and the passing marks are 50%.

Other: The course is ready for the industry, thus I chose this course. The event is fabulous, last time in the future fiesta, Jubin Nautiyal performed at our university.

Placements: The college is good for placement if are an MBA student but for other courses there are no placements offered. Some placements are in BBA also but only in sales. I have done BCA from SMS and in our class, no student got any kind of placement total number of students was 180.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of sms was good the environment was nice and you can study while sitting in the garden as well there is a canteen which is cost-effective and which food is good. Hostels are provided but it is some 5 km away from campus and a bus is required for hostel students.

Faculty: Teaching in sms is brilliant and professors are well qualified and many of them are Ph.D. holders. Colleges provide notes and all material for studies courses are designed in a good way sms is an autonomous college and has its own syllabus and organizes the exam on its own.

My review is not to take admission.

Placements: Placements are very poor. I am in my final year, no teaching company has come till now for B.Tech students, only customer service companies and placement are happening. Due to this, I can say placements are very poor, and now they only focus on their university.

Infrastructure: In my course, infrastructure, there are no lab sessions conducted, and they do not have proper air conditioning, they only provide a fan and a bulb. In summer, you are suffering from hot weather. The hostel mess is very poor, and the food is bad. Wi-Fi has a good network speed.

Faculty: Faculty members are not good at passing students from a deep group of institutions. Now, students are becoming faculty members in the same college by this, we say bad placement, and exams are conducted, but the syllabus is complete, and they give questions that are not covered.

Other: I chose this course because I like coding. Best thing about this course is that you can create new technologies in the AI field. I improve my communication and coding skills. Events are organised, but now that big celebrities have come, the campus is very crowded because of university students.
