Underwhelmed by placements and decent faculty.
Placements: In our batch, there were well over 200 students enrolled in the course. Unfortunately, internships were not offered at all during our programme. Despite that setback, around 15-20% of students received placement offers. Many were hired for clerical roles such as data entry clerk, office clerk, and administrative assistant in small private firms and local businesses.
Infrastructure: Our campus infrastructure is strong overall. We had adequate classrooms that were spacious and well-ventilated with functional Wi-Fi in academic blocks. Plus a basic library housing textbooks and reference materials. While labs were limited (mostly theoretical frameworks, with no dedicated practical setup), the faculty made efforts to conduct online and offline sessions effectively.
Faculty: Faculty were generally helpful and well-qualified, with most instructors demonstrating subject matter expertise. Teaching quality was consistent. Most teachers explained concepts clearly, responded to student queries politely, and returned assignments and exams in a timely manner. Faculty also provided feedback that guided students to improve.

Infrastructure and facilities are really good.
Placements: I don't have information about the placements or top recruiters. A 5 CGPA is required. The college placement cell plays a pivotal role in the placement process. These dedicated departments work tirelessly to establish connections with companies, organize placement drives, and prepare students for interviews. I do not have further information.
Infrastructure: College has a good infrastructure with Wi-Fi, a good network connection, and good labs and library. The hostel is currently under construction. The college is number one in sports and games. There are many events that can help students. The college also has well-equipped classrooms, modern laboratories, a comprehensive library, and robust safety and security measures.
Faculty: College has the best teachers and good faculty. They are adaptable, communicative, empathetic, patient, and dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment. They also demonstrate a love for learning and a commitment to continuous improvement, making things easier to understand and more enjoyable to learn.
Other: It's good value for money.

Peaceful campus and good teachers, but no placements for B.Com/BA/B.Sc students.
Placements: In my course, there are no official placements offered through the college. As per my knowledge, no companies visit for campus recruitment, so there are no specific highest, lowest, or average salary packages. I'm not aware of any top recruiting companies or internship opportunities provided by the college in our course. However, I would like to highlight that students from our college often become more creative and confident because we are encouraged to participate in various activities and events throughout the academic year, which helps in building skills for the future.
Infrastructure: The college has a peaceful and beautiful campus with a lot of greenery, which creates a positive environment for students. The classrooms, labs, and other facilities are well-maintained, and the Wi-Fi connection is good. In my opinion, the overall infrastructure is very satisfying and supports a good learning atmosphere. Although I am not a hostel student, I have heard from my friends that the hostel facilities are quite good. The mess and canteen provide hygienic food, with prices starting from Rs. 30 and above. Medical facilities are available on campus, and basic sports facilities are also provided.
Faculty: According to me, most of the teachers in our college are quite good. Some are average, but some teachers are very inspiring. Especially my HOD, she's amazing and the best teacher I've had there. The course is good, but I feel the course alone is not enough to get a job. We need to learn extra skills or maybe do another 2-year course to become industry-ready, as we don't get placements from college. The semester exams are not too difficult. If you attend classes and study properly, you can pass easily.
Other: I chose the B.Com course because I want to do an MBA in the future, and I had heard that this college is good for commerce students. One thing I feel could be improved is that the course should include some creative skills, such as art or drawing. That would make learning more interesting and fun. About the campus, everything is perfect.

Active campus, great events, and practical tech education.
Placements: Around 70% of students got placed with average packages around 1.2 LPA and the highest at 3 LPA. Companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and ICICI Bank visited for placements. About 30% of students got internships at firms like Cipla and Taj. Roles offered included web developer, software trainee, and support staff. While placement is decent, many students opt for off-campus jobs or higher studies. The course is well-structured and NEP-compliant with focus on both technical and soft skills.
Infrastructure: BCA department has excellent infrastructure, including four dedicated computer labs with over 270 PCs, air-conditioned classrooms, projectors, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Library is well-stocked with academic and reference books. Hostel facilities are limited but decent, with basic amenities and 24X7 water supply. College canteen offers hygienic food at reasonable prices. Medical assistance is available on campus, and first-aid is provided. Sports facilities include a spacious ground for football and cricket, indoor games like table tennis, and regular intercollegiate events. Overall, campus environment is clean, safe, and supportive of both academics and extracurricular activities. College provides good infrastructure and updated labs.
Faculty: Faculty members for BCA at Rosary College are highly qualified, supportive, and experienced in both academics and industry trends. Teaching quality is excellent, with practical exposure and regular project work. The course curriculum is NEP-aligned, updated regularly, and includes skill-based learning, making it relevant, and moderate industry-ready. Add-on certification and soft skills training are also offered. Semester exams are manageable with consistent study, and internal assessments help students prepare well. The overall pass percentage is quite high, around 85-90%, with most students clearing exams without major difficulty.
Other: I am pursuing BCA (2023-2026) at Rosary College of Commerce and Arts, Goa. I chose this course due to my interest in software and technology. The best part is the balance between theory and hands-on learning. Faculty members are approachable, and the labs are well-equipped. I wish the placement support focused more on core IT roles and higher packages. College hosts fests like Noesis and Rosarion, which are vibrant and well-organized. Campus crowd is friendly and active in extracurricular activities. Located in Navelim, the college is easily accessible. Scholarships are available for meritorious and economically weaker students.

Reality of M.Sc. in Marine Sciences from Goa University.
Placements: The course is limited to 20 students at once. There are no placements that the department provides. Instead, they won't allow me to opt for internships during the course. Institutes like NIO are good exposure but they are also disappointed with the level of knowledge students are passing out from GU. Attendance is another hot topic.
Infrastructure: Laboratories and classrooms are fairly equipped with instruments like LAF and AAS. Classroom is facilitated with projector and air-conditioning. Wi-Fi is available but not working properly. Computer labs have a lot of issues that don't get resolved immediately. Hostel facilities for graduate and post-graduate students are the same and allow two students in a single room. Mess food is really the worst, and there are a lot of complaints that are delayed several times.
Faculty: Many teachers are biased and support favoritism. If you don't stay in their good books, you might not be treated well. Teaching quality of few teachers is fair, but others are really bad at teaching. The curriculum is relevant but there are a lot of things that are necessary to be learned from a research point of view. But they don't really teach them. It definitely does not polish the student, least that teachers find the positives within the student and guide them to use it efficiently. The semester exams are moderately difficult.
Other: I had chosen this course for the sole reason of placement. But I was misguided. There are no best things about career. The students in marine science program couldn't enjoy the events or take part in them without bunking the lectures. Scholarships are available but they take a lot of time to sanction it (literally it took one whole year to credit the amount. The lectures are so hectic and go up to 05:30 PM. There is no hope for the improvements.
