Faculty is good, especially BBA's, but the main college faculty can find them quite rude.
Placements: There's a low chance that you will get placement if the competition is very high. If you don't have any skills nowadays, then it's a waste of time. The course is good, but you need additional skills too. Only getting a degree won't work. No internship programme in college is provided by them.
Infrastructure: The building that is provided for BBA is very much like a haunted house. People say it used to be a hostel building, and the classrooms are in better shape. The best thing is that there's a small balcony, and students can relax there. There's a problem with the washrooms too.
Faculty: Teachers are very sweet and supportive, and they give their best. They are like a friend. They talk sweetly, they try to support you, and share knowledge with their best efforts. But there is only theoretical study, no practical experience that you can gain, and BBA has a semester system, so the study system works fast.
Other: The best thing is that the BBA building is separate from the main college, so it is not a crowded place. We can enjoy ourselves in a small group.

3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
It is an affordable government college, but placement opportunities are limited.
Placements: The highest package is 6.2 LPA, and the average package is 3.7 LPA. A total of 45 students out of 58 offers get placed. Ten companies visited the campus for recruitment. Some of the top recruiters include Amazon, Flipkart, ICICI Bank, and Tata Capital. I could not find reliable public statistics on the percentage of B.A. students who get internships, the companies they intern with, or the typical stipend.
Infrastructure: The college has 41 classrooms spread across its academic blocks. There are 17 UG labs, including 6 ICT-enabled labs, and 7 PG labs. The college also has 6 computer labs with a total of approximately 185 computers. There are separate hostels for boys and girls, each with a capacity of 90 students.
Faculty: From the college prospectus/UG prospectus, they highlight that the college has well-qualified faculty and a robust research culture. Semester exams are not very tough if you go through the books and notes. I could not find consistent data or official statistics in the prospectus about the exact B.A. pass rates.

Excellent learning environment with affordable, supportive teachers.
Placements: Approximately 50 percent of eligible students got placed. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the lowest package is 2.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are banking & finance. 60 percent of students secured internships.
Infrastructure: The B.Com classes are generally held in the University School of Social Sciences or the Management Block, sharing facilities with MBA/BBA students. Most MBA classrooms are gallery-style or set up to support case-study discussions. Dedicated computer labs with internet access are available for the IT/Operations practical.
Faculty: Most senior professors hold PhDs and have significant experience, particularly in the core Commerce and Management departments. A common student complaint is the high faculty turnover rate, meaning your teachers might change mid-semester. Some students feel the teaching method is more theoretical rather than practical or case-study based.
Other: I chose B.Com here because the curriculum aligns well with the CA.

Absolutely satisfied with college.
Placements: Majorly, students have got government PG seats, and there is very little detention and supplies. The college aims to teach you the concept rather than focusing on the completion of the subject. In fact, the students who pass MBBS easily get paid up to Rs. 50,000 for normal jobs.
Infrastructure: Hostels have their own personal washrooms and its double sharing. There is no issue with electricity or water. It also has its own single beds. You can opt for a single room, but the fee doubles, you can also get a table, chair, and an almirah set for yourself from the college.
Faculty: Our college has the best faculty. All faculty are from government colleges. All the heads of departments are government teachers, retired, or the best faculty of anatomy have their names in the BDC anatomy. The best book used to study anatomy by students. All teachers are very supportive, and you even get your personal mentors.
Other: The campus is good as it is in a valley, and local people are helpful.
