A: 

NTA announced the NEET 2024 exam date on September 19, 2023. NEET 2024 exam was conducted on May 5. The result of NEET 2024 was declared on June 4, 2024. After the result declaration, several irregularities and anomalies were found in the result and the scoring system. Hence, NTA is reconducting NEET 2024 on June 23, 2024, for 1,563 candidates who were awarded grace marks. The result will be declared on June 30, 2024. The NEET 2024 counselling process for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats is likely to be conducted from July 6, 2024 onwards. 

The NEET 2024 application process was conducted from February 9, 2024, to March 16, 2024. The last date of application was extended from March 9, by a week. The application and correction windows were reopened in April. While the NEET exam dates were scheduled in September and July a couple of years ago owing to the pandemic situation, it took a toll on the medical admission schedule. To bridge this gap, NTA conducted NEET in May last year. The trend is being continued for NEET 2024 as well.

It has decent infrastructure, spacious classrooms, qualified & supportive teachers, but poor Wi-Fi.
Placements: Placements for Science students are non-existent. On-campus drives focus entirely on engineering/IT. Science graduates get zero campus recruitment, leaving students to either apply off-campus independently or pursue higher studies. (M.Sc/Ph.D).
Infrastructure: The campus offers decent infrastructure. Classrooms are spacious and clean, though basic. Computer labs and the library are well-stocked and functional. Wi-Fi is available but occasionally slow. Hostel rooms are manageable though the mess food needs improvement.
Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable. They are approachable and supportive. Most professors hold advanced degrees and explain core concepts well. But a few stick strictly to traditional teaching methods. The overall academic guidance and mentorship are solid.
Other: The college offers an average experience overall. Infrastructure is decent, and faculty members are helpful and well-qualified. However, placements are mediocre with limited core opportunities, and campus life is fairly standard with basic events.

Dissatisfied because of faculty.
Placements: I don't know about the percentage, but honestly, it's bad. Also, the package is bad. I don't know the exact details, but one guy from our college gets Rs. 10,000 a month for working as a sales representative in a Maruti Suzuki showroom. It's a top recruiter at our college, to be honest. New roles are coming, according to what our college tells us. For example, working with a CA and getting a Rs. 7,000 stipend.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi. All of it is broken by students. The toilets are trash. You can't even go through that area. The water facility is bad. It has still water and is very dirty. The library is average, as is the computer lab. Most PCs in our college are filled with viruses. The area is dusty. The playground is in bad condition, filled with tall grass and dangerous insects.
Faculty: Not quite. Teachers are not very good. They care about when the classes are over. Whatever they teach, they don't even seem to understand what they are teaching. The marker doesn't work, and the board is dirty. One teacher doesn't even know how to teach cost accounting.
Other: Nothing, not a single thing, is good about our course. But for Rs. 3,400, it's kind of okay and manageable. They should improve the clean drinking water, provide better toilets and better canteens, and have a projector, lectern, etc., in every class.

Genuine review of MLSM College.
Placements: 20 percent of students got placed in my course. The college says they provide campus placement, but the number of people who got campus placement is low, and they also didn't get a high-paying placement. If you want a good salary, you have to give interviews outside. College placement offers are too few.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are good. All the labs and books are available in college. The library has a good number of books. The college didn't have any hostel you can find some hostels near the college. The college didn't provide any hostel services. You can participate in different cultural programs and sports. Also, the college didn't have a canteen. There was a canteen in the past but currently there is no canteen in the college.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and highly knowledgeable. They treat students well and they explain topics in a very easy and simple way. The course is good if you are a good student, the teacher will pay more attention to you and give you a little more attention. Semester examinations are neither too easy nor too hard. If you study well, you will pass easily.
Other: College fest happens on a regular basis but is not too much fun. Only some people join it.

I am absolutely satisfied.
Placements: Students with a minimum of 65 percent in 12th class got placed. Highest package is 12 LPA. The minimum is 5 LPA. The average is around 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies for B.Sc. graduates from government colleges include IT majors like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro, Tech services firms like Infosys and Accenture, pharma-biotech companies like Biocon, and healthcare diagnostic providers like Apollo Hospital, Reddy's Laboratories, Apollo Hospital, Fortis Healthcare, and Cipla Analytics.
Infrastructure: 24/7 Wi-Fi is available. The infrastructure is also very nice. The classrooms have LED screens on which the teacher taught us. The hostel food is also very good. The canteen and medical facilities are also nice. The college also supports sports.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and also Ph.D. qualified and have too much knowledge. The teaching quality is very nice. The course curriculum is relevant and it also makes the students industry-ready. The semester exams are quite difficult but they help us to increase our knowledge. The pass percentage is around 50 percent.
Other: This course is very valuable for the future and it provides us with a secure future. The washrooms are quite not good enough for girls and they can be improved. College facilities give us a very quiet and studyable campus. The crowd is quite okay and connectivity is also good. The surroundings of the campus are so nice and they also organise a fest.

The best things about this course are that I would like to play with nature, natural phenomena, chemistry, and mathematical equations. The washrooms must be much better.

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.
