My review about this college
Learning Experience: Course, study procedure, and exam procedure are smooth. In any course at the University, one can get so much knowledge and information. I am so grateful to the University for all these. After my admission, I received study materials and books from the study center. IGNOU sends all study material by post and also a project guide, which is very convenient for the student. It's an open university, so there's no campus placement, but it's the best open university. The evaluation of marks is a bit tough, but it's considered equal to regular universities. Exams are conducted in exam centers.
Placements: College helps you get interviewed by different hotels for the 6-month industrial training program. The stipend offered is approximately 3000. The placement scenario is not that good. According to me, getting a placement depends on a student's academic career: how he has performed in exams, how attentive he was in class, how active he was in group discussions, and so on. Placement depends on all these criteria. Only a deserving child gets a placement. There are ample opportunities for graduates and post-graduates to select the best career for themselves. The placement depends on oneself.
Faculty: All the faculty members were very supportive and friendly. There were both male as well as female faculty members, but everyone was like a real friend, a real teacher, and a real path-showing person. They all treated us, students, as their own children and never made harsh words with any of the students during my study period. The structure of the course was very good and well-organized, but it was on the tough side. Very little focus was given to practicals, but I had to submit 8 assignments in total in the 2-year M.A. course.

My review of this college.
Placements: Internships are completely overtaken by students' choices. The college also arranges some internships. But there is no compulsion. The stipend offered ranges from Rs. 1,000-5,000 per month. A few companies visited the college under the placement cell and recruited a few students. Students should pass in all semesters. After the fourth semester, students are eligible for campus placements. A large number of companies come for placements, like TCS, Reliance, ICICI Bank, etc. The starting package on the campus is Rs. 18,000 per month. Almost 60-80% of students get placed.
Faculty: Faculty members are very educated and knowledgeable. They make the education process very easy. We have one of these faculty members who are very educated and their lectures are absolutely mind-blowing because whatever they taught us in college helped us in our exams. The course curriculum should be easy to understand and it should be student-oriented, full of activities, and not teacher-oriented. The course curriculum should include all topics that will nourish student knowledge and enable us to stand on our own and become job-ready. Our course is up to date. We are provided with industrial exposure to Rajasthan. It is a great trip as we are able to acquire good knowledge over there and overall it is good. There are different teachers for different subject students. So the ratio is 6:120. All faculty members are well-educated. Some are M.com qualified and some are MBA holders. Some are professional degree holders.
Other: I have been interested in accounts for a long, so I chose this course.

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.
