They have smart classrooms, labs, and a library.

Placements: There are around 200 classmates in my classroom. There are more students in other courses. There is no record of internships and recruitment in my college. They are talking about launching a new course (AEDP) in college, but its strength is too low.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, as they have what the basic premise requires, like smart classrooms, library, and labs. They organise a lot of extra activities like matches and competitions. A full sports tournament is about to happen here within the days.

Faculty: Teachers teach according to the syllabus. I am a fresher, so I still have time to write my first-semester exam.

Other: I actually come from a commerce background, so I was referred to choose the B.Com. There is too much crowd. The campus is good. I think that the recruitment and exposure to this college will be the best favour.

I do not want to rate or give any rating to this college.

Placements: I think there are almost no placements in this college. If there are any placements, they are only for courses like B.A., not for other courses like B.Sc. or other programs. It is very bad, as equal opportunities should be provided for all courses, but the college shows partiality.

Infrastructure: There are average classrooms, and they could be better. The library is good, but Wi-Fi is not accessible in some areas, although it is available in the library. Hostels are okay, but for the last year, the mess has not been working. Students have to manage their own food, which is not a good thing.

Faculty: Faculty members are good, have good behavior, and are friendly. The course curriculum is very old in this college. The passing criteria are 40% of total marks. Otherwise, students get a back/supply in that particular subject.

Other: There is only an annual day event in my college, with no fests or other activities. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science in Physical Science with Computer Science as my major subject.
