The college has so good infrastructure and surroundings.
Placements: 90% of students are placed from our course. The highest, lowest, and average package cover 80% of students. Many companies recruit students, and many of them get internships with the companies. Both national and international companies recruit students.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and libraries are very neat and clean, with incredible infrastructure. The hostel is so good, and the mess is also good. The canteen food is very tasty and hygienic. Medical facilities are very good, and the games and sports day are entertaining for the students.

Review of Sant Singh Sukha Singh College of Commerce for Women.
Placements: Our college has 387 students, and 93 were shortlisted, and 39 students were successfully placed in SBI Life, HDFC Life, and Byju's. The highest package is 5 lacs pa, the average is 3 lacs pa, but the lowest is according to skills and performance. 40% of students got internships in companies such as Wipro, Mahindra, and HDFC. Top companies are the same as the above-mentioned. Financial analyst, digital marketing associate, junior accountant, etc. are the top roles offered.
Infrastructure: In classrooms, we have projectors and audiovisual systems. Labs have good internet connections in computer labs. The library is a quite area for students to read books. In our college, no hostel food is okay, and the canteen is not too great. Medical facilities are available, and in other activities, our college is in the number 1 position, like a showoff.
Faculty: Teachers are not helpful. They were hiring our college students as teachers. The course is not yet relevant. I want more added skills in our curriculum. The teacher's motive is just to complete the syllabus and do no revision at all. My percentage is 75%.
Other: I think there are more opportunities according to B.Com regular. Subjects are too difficult; please cancel some subjects. Yes, all activities are organized here.

Good placement for BCA students.
Placements: Most of the students go for M.Sc. or B.Ed. Many classmates cleared the various exams but for information. The special seminars were conducted and every student knew about the various requirements in the area so that they could easily avail themselves and do their jobs.
Infrastructure: Labs were well-equipped and every lab had a lab attendant and a store room for keeping apparatus and chemicals. Teachers use the demonstration method for giving hands-on learning and proper time was a good thing about our course which increases learning.
Faculty: All the teachers were well qualified, especially the HOD, they have vast knowledge about the topics. The curriculum developed by them favoured the course. A proper house test was conducted in mid sem, and proper tests were taken by the teachers.
Other: As they give the hand on learning that is learning by doing the various experiments. All the functions organised by the college was good and teacher were very nice .

It has good faculty and infrastructure. Dissatisfied regarding the curriculum syllabus.
Placements: As of the batch 2024-2028, many students, i.e., around 200 got placed in the ECE course. Companies like TCS, Accenture, Infosys, and Wipro are major mass recruiters. Companies like Google and Amazon are very rare. The highest package is 12 LPA, and the lowest package for my course is 3 LPA. The average package is 5 LPA respectively. Many students find internships in companies like KPMG and NAGAR but students have to struggle themselves for such internships. The top roles offered are software development engineer or support roles within various companies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good for my course as all the electronics, mechanical, and civil departments are placed in the UIT building. Classrooms are really very good and spacious. All labs include essential equipment. In hostels, the quality of food in the mess is excellent. Students may find a problem in the hostel rooms but the faculty, sports, and games are excellent.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and possess a helpful nature. Semester exams are easy and consist of questions that are being done in the class. The pass percentage is 85% as students find many compartments in the first year due to the purely theoretical subjects. I do not find the course curriculum relevant as it does not make students industry-ready. There is not any kind of practicality as the course curriculum focuses on cramming and theoretical portions. We will have to understand the coding languages and many more outside the campus.
Other: I wanted to go for CSE but as my JEE RANK was not so good, I got the option for ECE as we have so many opportunities like we can go for electronics and IT sector as well. The university holds so many fests and extracurricular activities. Things that they should focus on are curriculum and should increase the practicality.
