4Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Best college in making a personality rather than just making their students chase marks.

Placements: Katni Arts and Commerce College is very supportive in getting its students a good placement. About 75%-80% of students got offered packages of a minimum of 8 LPA and above. The faculty conducts trials of interviews with possible questions that may be asked by the interview, which helps in making our appearance and presentation attractive and strong enough to secure placements.

Infrastructure: As of now, there's no hostel in the college, but the building for the B.Com department is very big and has facilities like air-conditioned classes with digital boards. The canteen has very tasty food with complete maintenance of hygiene, and does not cost any extra money.

Faculty: Teachers and professors in the college are supportive and always helpful for every query and every doubt in and out of class. Semester exams are hard, but do not contain questions out of the syllabus, making us think outside the box.

I think it's the best college.

Placements: Approximately 75% of students were enrolled in our study. The average salary was 15 LPA. The highest salary was 33 LPA. The lowest salary was 9 LPA.

Infrastructure: There was a good atmosphere and a good relationship between teachers and the staff. We had good management and good teachers. This course was good for what we were paying. Our college had poor quality. Facilities were limited. These were the two main problems I faced in this college, and this is just my opinion.

Faculty: Our college's faculty members were incredible and amiable with students. They were quite beneficial in tests and provided explanations based on the course syllabus. The best professors offered excellent, easy-to-understand instruction. The pass rate for the more challenging semester exams was about 35%.

A good college offering impressive facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: My college has very average package placements in this course. According to the placement report of the previous year, the highest package offered was INR 6-8 LPA, and the lowest package stood at INR 1.8 LPA, whereas the average package offered was INR 4-5 LPA. Internships are provided in the final year, with no industry exposure.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my college are very good and top-notch. The classes are available with Wi-Fi access, the campus is surrounded by greenery, and it is spread over a huge area. Library is a decent size with spacious seating, offering a lot of books. Canteen offers acceptable food.

Faculty: Teachers at my college are very supportive, helpful, well-qualified, and experienced in their relevant fields with good achievements. The curriculum is not so relevant, nor does it make students industry-ready. The semester exams are moderately easy. Students can pass by studying before the exams.

Other: I chose this course because of my background in this field and my interest in computer applications. The college organises a few events and fests every year. Scholarships are provided to students who perform well in academics and sports, and financial aid is provided to socially backward students.
