The classes are clean with big windows providing good ventilation.
Learning Experience: Everyone will get placement based on the knowledge and how they used to prepare what they have to taught so placement is completely on their self preparations they provide the support but we have to prepare and we have to select for that interview that is important and placement provided by that college
Placements: From 7th semester students become eligible for campus placements. Infosys, zscalar ,TCS and many more companies visits. Highest package is - 15- 20 lakhs . 70% of students get placements from our college.
Faculty: The faculties approach each and every student in the class and clarify their doubts with more patience. And sometimes, they explain twice or thrice on the students requests. They also explain topics using projector. And conducts tests in every week.
Course Support: Course I am pursuing is hard . Not that much hard but it is hard to understand some many different programming languages. If you can take that much pressure so go for it . There is a improvement that 1 programming languages should take for 1 yr for better understanding and learning.

Our college provides very good hostel facilities.
Placements: Students of our college were eligible for placements from the 5th semester. The recruiting companies were Wipro, TCS, and HCL.

Infrastructure: I stayed in PG which was the best with a fee of Rs.8,000 including food. Students learn to live independently by staying in PG or hostels.

IGNOU is good in many ways but has certain issues.
Placements: Our university doesn't provide placements as it is an open university. It doesn't provide distance based education. But when it comes to degree, it is pretty much valuable and is valued by all employers if anyone wants to pursue any employment or job.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty well and is delighted with the greenery. There are various blocks each dealing with different functions like students block, course block, etc.
Faculty: The curriculum is quite obsolete and very old. It seems it has not been updated at all. The faculty members at IGNOU are quite good and exams are to be given from the IGNOU center located in the college in your city. The exams are easy and less effort is needed to pass

College life is good. The environment of the college is also good.
Placements: I recommended all the students to take admission to this college. About 70-80% of the students got placed in our course. In starting, the average salary package offered ranges from 4-6 LPA to an M.Com pass out student. Some top recruiting companies like Dell, Infosys, Tally ERP, and other MNCs visit our college for placements. Above 75% of students got an internship in many companies. Many roles like an accountant, banking sector, lectures, software accounting support, etc., are offered to the students.
Infrastructure: In our course, all the required facilities are available, like a library and Wi-Fi. In the lockdown period, online classes are conducted timely. It also informs all students about the daily schedule of subject-wise classes in a good manner. Labs have all the equipment, and the library has all the required study materials.
Faculty: In our college, all teachers are well-educated and helpful to all the students. They also helped in the lockdown period. In our course, the minimum passing criteria are more than 40% in every subject with assignments marks and practical exams. All the exams are not very easy but good.
