It is the best college in terms of knowledge, and faculty members are excellent.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our campus is very pleasant, and it is the best for all students. There were approximately 60% of girls and 40% of boys. Classrooms are very clean, and Wi-Fi is also available in our college. Our college has a huge library, ground and sports equipment. The hostel facility is quite good, but the mess food is very bad.

I am satisfied with the facilities and teachers.

Placements: In the political science stream, there are very low placements rate, i.e., around 40-50%. There are many fields where we can join mainly like teaching, politics, government jobs, etc. The best one is to be a teacher, and there are several colleges and universities where we can teach with a decent salary package of around 2.5 LPA at maximum, and the minimum salary package of 6 LPA.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are neat and clean. There is a library containing lots of books, and there is a big playground for sports. There is no need for labs in political science, and free Wi-Fi service is not available for students. I am a day scholar.

Faculty: Teachers are good, qualified, cooperative and supportive. They explain every point with ease, and teaching quality is also good. Political science is not a professional course, and it is a traditional course.

Other: I have chosen this course because I want to be a teacher in this field by which I can teach students about good and honest politics for better tomorrow in our country. We should aware people for this course so that more students should join this course and join politics for better and socialised tomorrow of this country. University is situated in the city centre, which is easily accessible from every corner of the city. University organises many events and a fest every year, and there are many scholarships schemes for economically weak and meritorious students.

Absolutely dissatisfied with my campus because of students' election.

Placements: Placement of this university is so poor. But I don't have a proper idea about the placement of my college. The placement starts in the final year. I don't have any idea which company came for placement.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my university is average. The new building is being prepared for the new department. Wi-Fi is good. I don't live in a hostel so no idea about the hostel. The canteen of my college is the worst. Medical facility is good. Sports and games is also very good.
