Not so much good, I think there are better options too at this budget and range.
Placements: About 30% of students are placed. Average package is 4 LPA, and they show the highest package of 50 LPA which is all fake. This year, the highest package is 12 LPA only, and not everyone is placed. Placement cell doesn't support that much to students and for everything they charge money.
Infrastructure: Food is not so much good. There are so much restrictions on food. They use low quality paneer, and provide only small amount per serve. Only breakfast is good, and dinner is not good heavy oil and spices are used. At the end of dinner time, they also mix water into the pulse.
Faculty: Teachers are not highly experienced in the field of what they are teaching. They appoint a fresh teacher who serves for 2 to 3 years only, and has much knowledge of the field. A teacher of digital electronics is appointed to teach DBMS, and they are not able to explain it properly.

Review of the PG College, Rishikesh.
Placements: I am from the 2021 batch, and to be very honest, our batch did not had any proper placement opportunities. The college did not provide a good placement cell for commerce students, and because of this, none of the students got placed through the college campus. Most of my classmates decided to continue their education further, with a large number of students gone for Master's like M.Com, MBA, or professional courses like CA, CS, and CMA. Other students started preparing for government jobs like Bank PO, Clerk, UPSC, etc.
Infrastructure: In my experience, the facilities and infrastructure for the B.Com department were very poor. The classrooms were in bad condition, with broken furniture and very little cleanliness. There was no proper Wi-Fi facility for students, and even basic resources like projectors and smart classrooms were not available in 2025. The hostel facilities were also not satisfactory. The rooms were small, and the washrooms were often dirty. The mess food was of low quality and lacked variety. Medical facilities were poor, with no proper medical support for students on the campus. The sports and game facilities were available, like football and volleyball.
Faculty: The teachers were qualified because this is a government college, and everyone was a government college professor and knowledgeable. But the main problem was their attitude towards teaching. Some teachers were helpful when students approached them personally. The course curriculum itself was very basic and covered only traditional subjects like Accounting, Economics, Business Law, and Management, which didn't really made students industry-ready. The semester exams in college were not very difficult, you need to learn PYQs of 2-3 years. The pass percentage was usually high, with 80-90% of students clearing the exam every year.
Other: I chose this course because I had taken B.Com in my Class 11 and 12, so that's why I took commerce. But now I regret it because we had very limited exams for a government job. For example, B.Sc. students can give exams in their own field and other fields, but for commerce, there is nothing. If you want to pursue a career in private jobs, then it is good. The college had NCC, and they organized cultural programmes and sports competitions like football, volleyball, etc.

Review of Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Gharwal University.
Placements: Students who were placed in last year's B.Tech course were about 80% in the highest package of football LPA on campus, while the lowest was 3 LPA. The top recruiting companies for this course are TCS, HCL, etc. Several students have used them to get internships from the college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good, and there is Wi-Fi installed throughout the campus. There are different labs and PCs available for students, and the library is fully air-conditioned. Various facilities are provided in the hostel, and good-quality food is also available.
Faculty: Teachers are also very supportive and well-qualified. They are very knowledgeable and have significant experience in teaching. The curriculum is very easy to make students industry-ready. Exams are held on a semester basis, and the pass percentage is high, with most students passing the exams except for a few who may struggle in the final exams.
Other: I chose this course because it was my passion and it was my future as well. I also wanted to be in a government field college.

BSM PG College is good for all bachelor’s and master’s courses.
Placements: College does not support placement. There is not a highest or lowest package. Companies do not need students from my course, and the number of internships from my course is zero. I am an economics student, and in my college, companies do not offer jobs because they do not need economics for teaching.
Infrastructure: Yes, there is Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, a library, and all courses like bachelor’s and master’s degrees; all facilities are good, but there is no hostel or canteen facility. Sports and games are also available in our college, and more facilities are available for all students, like the library.
Faculty: The teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable in all facilities, with very humble and nice behavior and good teaching quality. They provide all course-relevant information and knowledge to students for industry. The semester exams are medium level, not difficult, with a 70% passing rate.
Other: I chose this course because it is very knowledgeable for me. The course improves over time with updates. In college, every event, fest, crowd, scholarship, and activity is celebrated.

Commonly asked questions
On Fees and Eligibility
Q:   Is CUET PG score required for HNBGU MBA admissions?
A: 

Yes,

Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University MBA admission is based on merit in CUET-PG exam. Thus, aspirants need to have a valid score to get a seat. Check out the CUET-PG dates. Moreover, it is also crucial that the applicant meet the prescribed eligibility criteria.

Q:   Can I get admission to MBA without any entrance exam?
A: 

It is highly unlikely to get into a reputable MBA programme without taking any entrance exam. MBA entrance exams serve as a critical component of the admission process for most business schools in India and around the world. These exams are designed to assess your academic capabilities, aptitude for business and management studies, and readiness for the rigours of an MBA program.

If candidates are considering an MBA and wish to bypass entrance exams, they should explore institutions that offer alternative programs and be aware that these programs might have different admission criteria and possibly lesser recognition. However, to enhance one's chances of securing admission to a reputable MBA program, it's generally advisable to prepare for and excel in the relevant entrance exams.

Q:   When will be CUET UG exam conducted?
A: 

CUET UG 2026 exam will be conducted in May/June for 37 subjects. The mode of examination is CBT (Computer Based Test). NTA did not release official notification for CUET UG date sheet.

The exam will be held in two slots each day depending upon the subject combinations chosen by the candidate.
