I am absolutely satisfied with facilities.

Placements: My passing batch and my current batch are very good. They all are awesome in behavior. The lowest salary package offered is Rs. 5,500 only. Many top recruiting companies visit the college to recruit us. 70- 80% of students get internships.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our courses and departments is very good. It has high-speed Wi-Fi, clean labs, neat and clean classrooms and libraries. The quality of the food mess, canteen, medical facilities, sports, and games are very good. In labs, we do many types of experiments as well. The food in the mess is tasty, but sometimes it is disgusting.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but few teachers are very egoistic. Teachers have a good knowledge of the subjects. This course values the element, and semester exams are difficult to prepare for those students who are quite good.

Other: I selected this course because I have to focus on English, so I have selected this B.A. English. Events and campus surroundings are good. Scholarships are available.

You can easily get admission to this college.

Placements: Around 60-70% of students got placed in our course. A few students also got selected for UPSC. The top recruiting companies are Tata and Reliance. Almost 55-65% of students got internships in this course. The top role offered is All India Radio manager.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not available. Laboratory is very good, and all necessary instruments are available. Classrooms are clean. All types of books are available in the library. You can borrow books by submitting relevant information.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They teach us very well. If you have any doubts, you can ask them without any hesitation. They always help us with our problems in all aspects.

Other: English is an easy language to understand so I chose this course. My writing is not that much good so I need to practice every day. The nomination is held twice every year.

The easiest option for a degree without going and attending classes but by paying some money.

Placements: It's an open university and thus less in Certificate value. If you simply need a degree then IGNOU is your option. The certificate is valued in India. Better not to try foreign countries with this university's degree.

Infrastructure: There ain't a hostel under IGNOU. Classes happen monthly but students must reach the study centre when it's time.

Faculty: Hard to pass even if you write the exam well. IGNOU never lets you pass just like that unless you fill a lot of its answer sheets pages, at least by writing any gibberish.

Other: Nil.

I am not satisfied because there is no online class and no exam update.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. Students are allowed to use all the facilities in this college like the canteen and ground. Corridors are clean and classrooms are having all the facilities for the students, and faculty members are also very helpful. In the canteen, any type of food is provided to the students.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable but due to lockdown, there are very few student-teacher interactions. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not make students industry-ready, and a student has to learn skills to get jobs after doing the course.

Other: I opted for this course, because of my interest in learning English subjects further and I want to make my career in B.A. English honors. There are many options for me to go in different fields like teaching, anchor, travel, and tourism, fashion designing, article writing, etc., after doing B.A. English honors. Till now no recruitment update is there from our college and not even about the internship. There are no events and fests due to lockdown.
