Review of Karnataka State Open University.

Placements: Students were eligible for placements from term-1. Placements were provided in our college so every student got a good opportunity to work with good companies and earn a good annual income. The recruiting companies were ICICI, HCL, and Lake. The placement committee ensures that every student gets placed with respectable salary packages. I have planned to pursue master's degree from Karnataka University to work in the field of operation.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities were available, and the rooms were good and well-ventilated. The hostel provided a healthy lifestyle for students. Students must pay an amount of Rs.3,000 of which the hostel fee was Rs.1000 and Rs.2,000 was a depository refundable amount. The hostel room had beds, chairs, fans, study tables, cupboards, etc. Wi-Fi was provided in the hostel.

Faculty: The subjects I learned in this college were very good and impressive to learn new things about management skills and leadership quality. Subjects in our course were different every year. I learned the basics of management economy, finance, and human resources management. The faculty and student ratio was 1:30. Faculty members were highly accomplished in their respective fields, kind, and helpful. Some of the faculty members were very good.

Other: Each classroom was sufficient for 40 students. Our course fee was Rs.18,500 per year.
