    OG life at MBGPG Haldwani.
    Placements: As it is a government college, there are placements for the diploma courses, which are different in the college, but have less placement. But many camps for business purposes and many more. A person has to put in their own efforts and preparation for external internships and jobs.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good and improves more with time. The college has well-maintained science labs, classrooms, and a library with books, but it is not updated much. There is a separate library for self-study. There are no hostels tyill now, but they are in progress and It completed by 2026. But there are PGs are available near the colleges with good food quality, medical facilities, and laundry.
    Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and very helpful to students. They are also very knowledgeable and teach in both languages, Hindi and English. Some of the courses make students industry-ready according to subjects. Semester exams are qualifying in nature for average students and difficult to top for toppers. 30% is important to pass exams.
    Other: I choose B.A. as I want to study for government exams, and subjects are related to this and also according to my interest. The books in the library must be updated but have enough books to study. There is a Holi function, annual function, samman samaroh, and many other programs according to the department.

    A well reputed college of Uttarakhand.
    Placements: There are around 300 students in our batch. Course is good, effective, and very helpful, and I am happy with it. The Bachelor of Arts is a college or university degree available in various subjects. Each program covers standard general education requirements in liberal arts and humanities topics and allows us to select a major in a particular specialization of our choice. The term "Arts" can be misleading, because, in reality, you can earn a B.A.
    Infrastructure: We have a very good library and ground for sports. There are separate buildings for different courses. Our college is also very active in games like volleyball and cricket.
    Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Exams are average. Curriculum does not makes students to be industry-ready.
    Other: In our college, many events are organized such as annual events and festivals.
