I'm not totally dissatisfied with my college.

Placements: Minimum 4% of students were placed during our course. Rs. 12,000 per month was offered by the companies, which was not good. Pysoft Infotech, Softrix, and Eclerx were the main recruiters. They offered a minimum 10% internships in our time period. Software development and web design were the main roles offered.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was good compared to other colleges. They had proper labs, smart classrooms, Wi-Fi facilities were also given to students, and they had a huge library. Hostel facilities were also good. They had boys' and girls' hostels. Canteen food was also good, and in Laureate, they had a proper health center. For sports, I tell you this was the best college.

Faculty: Teachers were so helpful. They were well-educated and well-qualified teachers. Exams' difficulty depended on the student. But teachers tried their best. The passing percentage was above 90% after the semester result declaration. Overall, the results in every semester were good.

Other: I chose it because I see my future in tech. So I chose BCA to start my career in the IT sector. They had to teach new technology in our time, but they currently focus on it. There were too many events and festivals organized by the faculty.

A college has an outdated building that needs to be renovated with a high education.

Placements: Sanjauli College, Shimla Himachal Pradesh offers limited placement opportunities. We have a career counseling and placement cell, which guides us in each move and they are helpful. They guide us in career options and job placements through various government and private agencies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Sanjauli College is very outdated. Buildings need to be renovated, and they are very old. We have Wi-Fi on our campus which gives us 1 GB of data per day, and that's good for students for online studies. The college offers a basketball court and indoor games like table tennis, carrom, and badminton. A college contains a library which has around 1000s of books, newspapers, and magazines. We have a digital library for students to study digitally.

Faculty: There are around 80-90 teachers in our college of which more than 24 students are PhD holders. They are well-educated. They guide us in our tough times.

Other: Bachelor of Computer Application is a course with a duration of 3 years which includes 6 semesters, so I chose it. The fee for the course is Rs. 13,000 per year. Some registration charges are also there.

HPU is good, but the branches of HPU are not so good.

Placements: I did not get any placement. There is no placement maybe I might not even get a placement. I don't know about the package because if there is no placement then we won't get the package. No company came in front of me, I don't know how many students got internships. No role is offered in my college.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is not so good. The main HPU is very good but our branch is not good. The classrooms are very small there is no smart class. The lab is not good. They teach us an old syllabus. There is no Wi-Fi. The library is not good. There is no hostel for BCA. There is no canteen in our college and there are no sports either.

Faculty: Teachers are good, but not so good. Teachers are well-educated. There is no placement. The student has to work hard himself. The structure is also nothing special. The semester exams are difficult, it is not that easy. The students pass the exam, but many students get compartment.

Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in computer applications. BCA is a good degree.

It is good in the budget. The college is good if we have a budget issue. It can give us great value.

Placements: There are no placements for BCA. One or two students get placed, as we trace the placement cell is not at all active, but still it is present. It has an active president every year, but it can get better. There is an active placement cell, but everyone forgets about it as it is never active. There is no placement season in our college. There is a selected president of the placement cell which do nothing and has zero qualification to be the president of such a big cell. Placements can be better. There is no company for recruitment, even for professional courses.

Infrastructure: Considering the topography of Sanjauli College, the infrastructure is okay, and it can get better. BCA classes can become better. A lot of instruction is already going on the campus. Overall, the campus infrastructure is good considering the facilities provided inside. My college looks very small from the outside, but all facilities are present there.

Faculty: Faculty members for B.A, B.Sc, and B.Com are great and unknown. One can beat them, but for professional courses like BCA and BBA, faculty members are not qualified and not good enough. They are good for all classes, but teachers who are on the contact piece and are old have zero knowledge of new technology. They do not believe what students are saying. They have their own traditional thoughts and believe in them. They have zero knowledge of the field, and they are not even qualified to beat teachers.

Placements: The college is fine but there are no placements. In our college, placements are not very good but the studies are not very good.

The hostel is also good. The food is also very good. Rooms in the hostel are very nice. Labs are not good, but it is fine for sports. There is a ground next to the college, and it is very beautiful.
