I would recommend it to people who want to enjoy a good college life.
Placements: This course does provide a good placement opportunity, as the college looks forward to getting the best packages for the students. The highest is 8 LPA, and the lowest is 5 LPA. Internship is provided to students who are interested in taking part, and they receive internships from well-known institutions, which helps them understand their skills more effectively.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of the department are very good, and it’s easy to navigate yourself as there are floor maps placed in every corner for you to locate things easily. The department has its own lab where students learn more about MS Word and are encouraged to become more knowledgeable. The quality of food in the canteen is good. We have an on-campus medical department where staff are helpful and well-trained. Sports and games are always encouraged, giving opportunities to students to showcase their talents.
Faculty: Teaching quality, I won’t say it's too good, but it can obviously be improved. The course curriculum is the same as what you have learned in your higher school, but here it’s just a bit elaborated, and they just tend to stretch everything. Semester exams aren’t that difficult. Even if you just listen to the class or just read it once, you will easily crack it.
Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in learning more about business and how it functions; that’s why I decided to study this course. Maybe the faculty could be better. The college conducts various events, fests, and opportunities for students to explore.

I am satisfied with the faculty, good placements, and peaceful environment.
Placements: It's not mandatory for students to sit in placements but Students who sit for placements are offered more than 60%, the highest would be around 5.5 LPA the lowest would be 2.1 LPA, goldman Sachs cognizant etc., it's mandatory to do internships so mostly all the students would do internships, HR .
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and exposure are very good. The library is available during college hours as well as on some weekends. I am not a hostel student, but from what I know, the food is decent and the environment is good. However, you need to get an out-pass if you want to go out, and if you're a Catholic student, you should attend mass at the college chapel.
Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and approachable, and the teaching quality is really good compared to others. The curriculum is relatable and interesting. Semester exams are tough, but you can get through them if you've studied well, but it really depends on the subjects; for instance, subjects like statistics are really tough.
Other: I chose BBA because I really liked the course outcome. The exposure you get in this course is really good, and it could include more industrial visits. The fests and events are great, and it would be a memorable experience if you participate in them.

Apollo College - infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: On-campus placements are medium. Salary packages are not offered.
Infrastructure: Hostel food is very good and tasty, available in both the college and hostel canteens. Food maintenance work and quality are very good. Games are played every year, with matches against other universities, good games are available. Medical facilities are not available, only first-aid is available. There is no Wi-Fi in classrooms and labs.
Faculty: Faculty members are well educated. Exam duration depends on the performance of college management. Teachers' qualifications are very high. Placement training and exams are correctly followed so that students pass.
Other: We need medium education due to less money, so we chose the best option.

I don't like this college much.
Placements: Approximately 30% of people are offered the job, and remaining stay unemployed because the college is being so strict. There is no improvement exam for the students who are unable to write the previous exam. The highest job salary is 6 LPA, and the lowest is 2.25 LPA.
Infrastructure: There is an issue with electrical things such as fans. The washrooms remain clean, and the doors are unable to lock. The windows are full of dust. They will never bother to clean it off and never think of it unless and until we keep reminding them of the complaint.
Faculty: Few teachers are capable of teaching students other remain uncountable. The semester exams are normal but CIA exams are different. If you miss because of some health issue or lack of attendance. There is no way to write again the CIA exam. They expect from the students that we need to score 80 out of 100 to pass our subject, which is the worst experience with this since I have health issues.
Other: I chose the course because I like the accounting subject. I am happy with my decision until these CIA exam issues are addressed, as we are unable to write the improvement exam due to the lack of attendance or leaves. We have taken care of our health issue, this department is over strict and does not have a relevant approach.

Above average college for M.Com in Finance.
Placements: Students' placements are determined by the course they select. Numerous businesses provide placements to students at my college. Since there are three primary courses in my course, there are more possibilities and several placement opportunities. Many courses also offer internship programs, which offer fresh experiences and opportunities. Students' placements are determined by their grades and performance.
Infrastructure: The college's infrastructure is good. The campus is kept up nicely and is clean. The site has labs, a library, classrooms, a canteen, dorms, and restrooms. Additionally, there are dustbins for paper, food, and plastic garbage. In addition, our college has a restaurant and a stationery store. The food at the canteen is very good. Smart boards are available in every classroom, which facilitates learning. Our college has a large number of halls with clean restrooms.
Faculty: The instructors have extensive training and expertise. They are incredibly helpful to us in both our extracurricular and academic endeavors. We can better prepare for our tests because our teachers give us study guides and notes. They urge us to take part in all of the events. Exams are administered promptly and on a regular basis. Both internal and semester exams are available. The students determined the pass rate, and the question papers are not particularly difficult.

Placements are not good. Food and canteen facility are below average.
Placements: I don't know the exact percentage. I asked some seniors they told me that the average salary package offered is around 1 LPA. They are recruited by TCS and many IT companies. They kept many programs related to placements. But compared to other colleges the percentage of getting placement is quite low in my college.
Infrastructure: No Wi-Fi facility is provided. Food quality is not good. Hoster facilities are quite good. The management is not getting proper contact in canteen and mess. Its difficult for the students to eat in canteen as many students are coming from out of the city. They eat both breakfast and lunch in college, we raised complaint but they do not listen.
Faculty: No internals are there in this college. Faculty members will come, but they are not regular. Teaching quality is not good as compared to other colleges. They recommend some authors books. In exam, they don't ask questions from such books. Its so difficult to get pass especially in languages and above 80% of the students get passed in semester. Teachers have old knowledge and they conduct classes that are not suited for modern day.
