B.A. (Hons.) in Economics - Batch of 2026

5Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Satisfied with faculty members. Good infrastructure and course curriculum.

Placements: The training and placement cell is good in the department. Top recruiting company that came last year for hiring was HDFC Bank. The course curriculum is structured in such a way that our batch is according to the new education policy. Everyone has to get an internship in the 3rd year of college.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided by the department are good. The classes are spacious and it also provides a library. Facilities provided in the hostel in just above average. Mess and canteen provide food at a very minimal rate. The sports and games section is the best at this college.

Faculty: The curriculum is structured in such a good way that everyone feels like learning something new every day. Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They do help students. The difficulty level of the exams is not too hard to pass. The course curriculum is much relevant and it does make a student industry-ready.

Other: I chose this course because it gives so much insight into various subjects like banking, financial markets, international trade, and many more. The department does organise sports days and celebrates other festivals.

Facilities and environment.

Placements: We are not passing out, but in our 4th year, some seniors who studied in the department are placed as professors in the department, and other students are studying in other fields like MSW and GIS applications. There are no internships provided by faculty or college, but student groups organize them.

Infrastructure: The department is clean, and the office staff is polite. Wi-Fi is available, and there is a museum in the department. There is a projector in every class. I live in a government hostel, but I have visited the university hostel. It has good facilities, but sanitation is low.

Faculty: There are two exams taken for one semester mid-sem and end-sem. The mid-sem is for 30 marks, and the end-sem is for 70 marks. Both combined total 100, and the passing marks are 40. Paper checking is very strict, and the exams are conducted under CCTV cameras with 2 or 3 examiners there to assist.

Other: There are cultural activities and open house activities also happen.

College is very average.

Placements: No students get direct placement from this college of MSU Baroda. No packages available for students in the Maharaja Shivajirao University of Baroda. Companies cannot visit because college do not allow them.

Infrastructure: There is a basic infrastructure in the college. There is only classroom and principal's hobbies at this college, not other facilities like a Wi-Fi, labs, and library.

Faculty: Teachers have a very basic knowledge of the course, and no one can be directly helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable about that teaching quality. Students are not interested in attending the regular classes because of the teachers.

Other: I did not have an idea about this course while choosing the course.

MSU and it's basic information about curriculum and management.

Placements: Around 30%-35% of students got placed from our course. In the English faculty, there are no internships, packages, or roles offered yet. However, it is helpful to get a job instantly after getting recognition from a big university.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is over 100 years old but has been renovated from time to time. It looks ancient with modern-day facilities. One of the best monumental pieces of work. There is a separate ground for sports, a swimming pool, and facilities for nearly every sport. Medical facilities are available for students throughout the week.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. Some even hold double or triple Ph.D.s. They are great at helping and wise at explaining topics. Semester exams are moderate if we study hard. They become easier when teachers solve them with us, helping us identify our mistakes and ensuring we don’t repeat them next time.

Other: Our batch is in the 2nd year, and we still have a lot to learn and need to grow from time to time. I wish the structure of exam should be improved.

I am very satisfied as it provides a good campus environment and college life experience.

Placements: There is no placement in our course, but indeed, there are placements available in different courses in different amounts. There are lots of placements available in the faculty of social work with a very good package at various contemporary companies like TATA and Reliance.

Infrastructure: It provides lots of good infrastructure, like labs in the faculty, classrooms and wi-fi availability on campus. The hostel premises are quite good at providing hospitality to all kinds of people. The environment surrounding the hostel premises is quite soothing and relaxing, which makes you feel at ease.

Faculty: The university provides us with a variety of choices in faculty, and there are lots of faculty members providing quality education to concerned students. In our faculty, it provides 24 various subjects for specializations. The conduct of exams is lenient and not very difficult in level, favoring all kinds of students.

My experience at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda.

Placements: There is not much competition, sometimes students with lower marks can still get admission. We haven't found good internship or placement opportunities yet. In our course, there are not many job opportunities after completing the bachelor's degree. In Master's, after choosing a specific subject, we can pursue counseling in that area. But we haven't seen much support for placements for students yet.

Infrastructure: College provides free Wi-Fi. Infrastructure in some departments is okay, while other departments need improvement. Classrooms are of medium quality, and it varies depending on the department. Sports and physical activities are provided at a very low cost, which is truly helpful for students. Hostel provides good quality food in the mess. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner costing around Rs. 100 to Rs. 120 daily. A full thali including dal, rice, sabji, roti, salad, papad, and achar is served. For fast food, we can visit the central canteen.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and supportive towards students. We haven't witnessed any faculty members who behave inappropriately. Overall, the faculty's behavior towards students is good. Curriculum is also relevant and helpful in the future. We find the curriculum to be very helpful for our growth and knowledge in psychology. Exams are easy.

Other: I have been interested in psychology since 10th grade. After the coronavirus pandemic, we can see that many people, especially the youth and children, are facing mental health issues. This is a time when mental health issues are slowly being acknowledged and prioritized. I hope to become skilled in counseling to help individuals with their mental health problems. Campus here is large and beautiful, surrounded by many trees. College didn't organize any events, fests or extracurricular activities yet.
