For students worried about the future our college is the best.

Placements: More than 75% were placed in the outgoing batch. Packages are based on their course and the recruiters. 100% got internships in companies like TCS. Literature students get to be introduced to various schools and colleges related to their professions.

Infrastructure: Our department has a separate library for arts students. Every classroom has a smart board for effective teaching and LCS hour is also provided. Our college offers high-quality foods in the canteen and seasonal fruits are also provided. A sick room is available.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified everyone with a Ph.D. The curriculum is relevant and makes students face the job opportunity. The pass percentage is 35%. Semester exams are not tough. It's an autonomous college question paper that comes only from the college so exams are not very competitive.

Other: Scholarships are provided for eligible candidates. A lot of events will be organized by the part V courses. Feels structure varies for regular and self-finance courses. I'm a regular student.

It is a wonderful college but I am dissatisfied with some people.

Placements: Placements are available at this college but the job positions are not professional. Insurance agent, telecalling, and NGO teacher roles are offered to students in placements. About 65% of students can apply for those placements. From the batch 2024, internships are compulsory.

Infrastructure: Free Wi-Fi is available over the campus. We can use it for valuable purposes. There are systems in the library, that can be used for academic purposes and to improve knowledge. There are separate computer labs for curriculum practices. There is a main library and department libraries.

Faculty: Faculty members are friendly to their favorite students. They are eligible to teach but they teach students according to their convenience. They do not consider students' mentality. The course curriculum is the best and upgraded from the 2024 batch. Students should score about 40% in exams to pass the semester. Exams are not that much tough. The course structure was awesome and it is also upgraded from the 2024 batch.

Other: I chose this course to get a degree and try for a government job. This course helps to cover some parts of the government job examination syllabus. I suggest faculty members understand students' mentality. The college campus is a wonderful place to feel stress-free under the green things. It conducts events regularly, encouraging extracurricular activities always.
