I'm satisfied.

Placements: Around 20%-40% get direct placements, as many pursue higher studies. In the lowest package, the college has offered course for us, so that students can study well without any financial pressure. Top recruiters are from Bangalore, Mumbai, etc. Europe is also part of the best option as well. Above 60% of students got internships in better institutions at Manashasthra Mind Care, Kilpauk, Child Mental Care Farm, and so on. Top roles include clinical psychology, counseling, medical and psychiatry, fieldwork, industrial psychology, criminology, and so on.

Infrastructure: We don't have any hostel facility. Facility and infrastructure development is motivating, and clear environment to boost up our energy. Our discipline and personality are first priority for students and second is environment should be open and clear.

Faculty: Teachers are good and convenient and always make sure that are we on track for the betterment purpose. Course curriculum is the most important and relevant, while completing the course we all are set with confidence to achieve our goal. Semester examinations are not difficult at all, smooth and direct questions are asked for the knowledge and how much we have covered all subjects. Passing percentage is above 40%.

Other: Psychology is my dream goal. The best thing about this course is that you will know who you are, especially as we will connect with people's emotions, and in-depth we will support their mental health for their lifestyle. I would say, stop spreading that psychology is a mental defect problem. This stigma must clear from all over society and people, and we must be aware that psychology is a friendly, helpful Gift we get for ourselves. Events, fests, campus connectivity, scholarship, etc., are all welcome and supported by our university. Extracurricular activities are also supported for the students.

I think I feel good because of facilities and helpful faculty members.

Placements: I'm studying 2nd-year psychology. So I have no placement now but other departments like 3rd-year students are attending many interviews with recommendations from the college. Many of them are also placed with good packages. So this information only I know about placements.

Infrastructure: The courses in the psychology department are absolutely interesting, thanks to the help of faculty members. However, classrooms, infrastructure, and college canteen need to be improved. Because the college is very small, sometimes canteen looks crowded. This is my side of the point.

Faculty: We have good and knowledgeable faculty members, so their teaching is good. Because the teaching methods are very comfortable to listen to in classrooms, it makes me more interested in studying. I learn many things with the help of faculty members, so the exams are easy.

Other: I like my course psychology very much because it is something different from other studies without medicine we can help humans with their problems.

Well, if you came only for study, it is good.

Placements: In our college, students are selected according to their percentage, which has to be more than 75%. And our college has a link with the government hospital in Kanchipuram; it's helpful for practicing. Apollo and Chettinadu Hospital came for placements. You will definitely get selected in any of the two hospitals.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are quite good with AV aids and the drinking water facility is good, but the toilet facility may be a bit disappointing. Everything is okay, according to the infrastructure. You have to adjust to the toilets because they might disappoint. And the ventilation in the class is also bad.

Faculty: There is a low number of faculty, but you have external staff for special subjects such as microbiology, pathology, genetics and pharmacology; they are enough to complete this portion. They rush portions because of less time and less faculty. You have to study a lot.

Other: I chose nursing because I need to go on the medical line. That's why I chose nursing. Our campus has many fests, but nursing has to study; they have only a bit of enjoyment in the extracurricular curriculum.

Review of Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital, MAHER.

Placements: I have been a dental student here at Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital for almost 4 years (My final year). We are a class of 90 students. The package given to interns is low, but the patient flow is good as it is situated in one of the main areas of the city.

Infrastructure: The lecture hall accommodates more than 100 students and has a theatrical pattern. The classroom is fully air-conditioned with a smartboard. It is bright with a good feeling of warmth. Meanwhile, the hostel and mess food are above average. Air-conditioned rooms are available. There are four hostels, 3 for girls and 1 for boys, 2 inside the campus and 2 outside the campus. Even though the campus is small, the facilities are not compromised. This helps in getting to know other batchmates and other students better. It is also an anti-ragging campus. The basketball court is at the centre, and the cricket nets are towards the right. There are trees in most places, and they have their own biological names. The mess has a fixed food schedule. The hostel rules are equal for both girls and boys. A large number of games are available, ranging from futsal to table tennis.

Faculty: The faculty in our college are highly qualified and highly experienced. They have interactive teaching sessions in most of the students grasp easily. Apart from the curriculum, extra knowledge is always given to students to crack competitive examinations. The case scenarios are best explained here. Students are also encouraged to present topics to reduce their stage fright and build confidence. The passing percentage is a minimum of 50%, and the curriculum is entirely relevant.

Other: Most of the students who study dentistry often have zero knowledge about it. They are mostly forced by their parents or by peer pressure. But after joining this course, it becomes their passion after learning step-by-step right from the first year. The best thing about this course is that it makes the patients satisfied and gives us inner peace and a feeling of positivity after completing every smile. People often complain about why you want to look inside people's mouths to earn money. But the fact is, if not us? Who will? The mouth is the primary entry point for all infections. We risk our lives to cure these diseases. This is something to be proud of. We also have intercollegiate or intercollege fests every year. There are about five festivals in a year. This allows us to showcase our talents and helps us improvise ourselves. The cultural events happening every year are no less than festivals. With complete involvement from the students as well as teaching and non-teaching staff, the smaller the campus, the greater the memories created. There was unity among all the students, with good patient flow.

Other: I've chosen the course. I got an idea to join the corporate field. My course is different from the other Bachelor of Commerce courses. We have subjects related to company laws and theories.
