Ph.D. in Commerce - Batch of 2019

Offered by Government College, Nedumangad

1Placements2Infrastructure2Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

Nothing about that college is good except some of my friends.

Placements: Actually there was no placement facility in that college. As it's a government college and most of them do not offer placement opportunities. The students of my class had good percentage and some of them are really brilliant. But in that college all were under utilized.

Infrastructure: In total it was medium like there was a canteen and all but no free Wi-Fi for students. Games and sports offered were average. And also the cafeteria food were of average quality as well. Everything need to be updated. They had a gym but it was also average. There was zero medical facility available and no ladies rest room.

Faculty: The teachers were qualified for sure but to be honest they had zero idea of what they were doing. Simply wasted our time. Most pf us skipped class because there was no use sitting there except for our English classes. And the course curriculum needs to be seriously updated.

Other: Everything about that college should be updated and improved for crying out loud. The reason I chose B.Com because I took commerce for my higher secondary class.
