I'm satisfied with faculty.

Placements: Totally 65% of students got placed from our course. The highest package is 1 LPA above, and the lowest is Rs. 18,000. The top recruiting companies are Infosys and Tata. Startup company is the most hiring company in our course. Our batch friends attended an interview at some companies, and they got a job offer from our course.

Infrastructure: There is a hostel facility for all, and this is helpful for girls who come from outside. They provide many infrastructure facilities, and they provide extra classes and faculty who also teach very well. They provide the best and helpful classrooms.

Faculty: They provide excellent faculty to the students. They teach you and help you step by step. They put in extra efforts and give good results to the college. They choose exam questions from important lessons and important questions related to them. It is also helpful for the students to study effectively.

Other: The college provides a very good education to the students, and it helps students who have come from poor families. So this will be helpful for all levels of students. The college campus is very good and the value for money is worth.

The faculty is good, but students are not taken seriously.

Placements: I don't know much about the placements. But the B.Com course can give you an average starting salary of Rs. 20,000 for bachelor of commerce and bachelor of computer application.

Infrastructure: In essence, ASP College offers a well-rounded, contemporary campus infrastructure that fosters academic excellence, practical learning, physical well-being, and student welfare. All supported by advanced technology and a green ambience. The campus is good.

Faculty: Examinations are conducted in a semester pattern and are considered moderately challenging. The evaluation process is transparent, with a good balance of objective, descriptive, and application-based questions. Internal assessment, presentations, and assignments also contribute to the final grades, promoting continuous learning. Overall, the B.Com. program at ASP College is academically rigorous and professionally relevant. The teaching approach is student-friendly, and the college ensures students are prepared not just for exams but for future careers. This combination of dedicated faculty, industry-oriented curriculum, and structured assessment makes it a preferred choice for commerce aspirants in North Karnataka. Teachers are supportive.

Other: Overall, it's nice. It is far from the city, so traveling is a little headache.

The place where you build your character and career both with knowledge and skills.

Placements: Maybe 40% or 50% of students got placed for jobs. A minimum of 4 LPA- 5 LPA packages were offered in Wipro and Tata companies. Top roles offered for our course were HR or junior analyst. B.Sc. mathematics and computer science had good careers in companies and can earn more.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure was very nice with big classrooms and a number of benches and fans. Library was very good with a huge collection of books and newspapers. Labs were available in very good condition. PCs and Wi-Fi were available at any time in campus and labs. The canteen had a good pace and sports were encouraged well.

Faculty: Faculty members were very friendly and highly knowledgeable. They were ready to teach many of the times, not only syllabus but also other knowledge were given about life and career information. Semester exams were held very strictly and question paper would be difficult as well as moderate.

Other: I chose this course because I was interested in teaching and this college would be the best choice for graduation. I wish they made some arrangements of seats in campus garden.

Fabulous college with good facilities, infrastructure, campus, placements, and many more.

Placements: Around 30% to 40% of students participated. The highest salary so far is 20 lakh, the lowest is 6 lakh, and the average salary is 10 lakh. Infosys is one of the companies involved. Almost all students secured internships with the companies they desired. I believe the highest position offered to a student is in HR.

Infrastructure: Our college's infrastructure is fabulous with a lot of facilities such as clean libraries, computer labs, etc. Everything is well maintained. We also have medical facilities and there are periods for games too and we also have so a big ground to play. The campus is so clean and big.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are well qualified and experienced. They know how to teach and also give important questions during exams and these questions are helpful which makes exams easy. Obviously, it's relevant because whatever they teach or plan their intentions is to make us confident and believe in ourselves and this college is best for it. No difficulty, u can pass easily as the staff teaches best. The passing percentage is 98%

Other: I chose this course because I have been interested in machine learning since childhood. I enjoyed working on computers and loved learning more about technology. The best part of our course is that we can learn about different programming languages and many other topics. Since this is a technical field, I believe that the number of theory subjects should be reduced. In our college, specifically in the BCA program, there are two major events: i. EVOGEN ii. MAGNUM. These are the two best events of our college and course. There are also numerous technical activities you can participate in, such as design competitions, gaming events, and more.

There are too many fun events in our college.

Placements: Many students work hard and put their whole life into getting a good life. They succeed in life by getting selected by big companies like Infosys and others. They enjoy their session by working for them.

Infrastructure: The new benches, desks, and whiteboards, along with the air conditioning, provided by our principal are excellent improvements. The classroom has been freshly painted, and the library is well-stocked with a variety of books, promoting a disciplined environment. One of the best features is the air-conditioned lab, which is very pleasant to work in, and we also have brand-new computers with the latest features.

Faculty: Exams have great questions. The lecturer teaches well and talks with the students with respect and calmness. They make the students ready for their exams with a great future. The difficulty of the exam is not so difficult the pass percentage is 60%. You can pass by reading properly.

Classrooms are bigger and they teach on the board as well from projectors. It has hostel facility from college and interested students can stay there.

Other: In the first year, they provided a 20% discount to students who scored more than 90% in PUC and 25% to students who scored more than 85% in PUC.
