It's a peaceful campus with little to no sound from the outside city.

Overall, the best university for M.A. in Economics Course.

Placements: The university placement is good. The placement percentage is 80%. Top companies like finance companies and banks, including ICICI Bank, IDBI, HDFC, NGO, RBI, etc., visit for recruitment. The highest package offered is 8 LPA, the lowest is 3 LPA, and the average package is 5 LPA. They also provided internship opportunities.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is only available for faculty, not for students. There is a single computer room for the entire university. The library of the department is also available and many reference publications are available at the request of the students, but only in a few numbers. I will give 2.5 stars out of 5 for the classes. There is no dormitory.

Faculty: The university has more faculty than students, but the faculty are known for their kindness and dedication to supporting each student. Efforts are underway to further improve the student-faculty ratio. Classes are devoted to the basics of economic theory and public policy, supplemented by regular seminars and lectures. Every semester, the exams are not easy and the passing score is 75%.
