Good infrastructure with affordable fees and a variety of course availability.

Placements: In my course, no placement is provided to the students. Only guidance is given on what we can choose and do after the course is completed. Apart from this, various seminars with certification are provided, along with teaching what we can choose for further study.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are well ventilated. Separate departmental library along with the arts faculty library. Hostel facilities are available for both boys and girls across the street. Pay for what you want to eat. For girls, there are two people per room. A clean and open environment is there.

Faculty: Ph.D.-holder faculty are there with years of experience in the subjects. The course curriculum is good for students as it teaches them how to do research papers as part of a project each semester, with guidance provided on different topics. The exams are slightly hard, but average students who attend classes regularly can pass them.

Other: It provides different optional subjects, including foreign languages. The fee is very low for the course promoting girl education, as it is a government university. Department-wise, fests and activities happen at the university. Good campus infrastructure is there.

Review of MSU - The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda.

Placements: Students are usually not placed directly from the campus. Internships are offered to students who are interested in and willing to carve their careers in the political science and policy-making field. These internships are both paid and unpaid. However, a lot of opportunities are provided for getting hands-on experience in research, investigation, and networking with political executives and legislators across the city.

Infrastructure: Many new constructions are underway. The department provides an open and resourceful library accessible to all students. It also provides access to Wi-Fi with basic registration and identity verification procedure. There aren't any labs and infrastructure for the same remains awaited. The hostel has a wide and open arena and provides good food. One of the advantages remains that all messes can be accessed by all students irrespective of any hostel building they reside in. For medical facilities and sports, the MSU health center is available, it provides healthcare to students and staff at almost minimal or no cost. Similarly, the physical education department can be accessed by all students for all physical fitness and sports activities.

Faculty: The curriculum is well upgraded and covers most of the areas of contemporary relevance. The curriculum is revised regularly and makes students industry ready, by helping them improve their skills. Many extra-curricular activities relating to public speaking, debate, and writing are regularly conducted as part of "an open society forum". The department has one of the finest faculty members, professors, and resource persons igniting and guiding young minds throughout the course. The exams are difficult to a certain extent. Though, regular class attendance, intellectual conversations, and discussions make it easier for students to gain perspective and attempt the exams.

Quite satisfied because of good curriculum and active faculty members.

Placements: We don't have programme of placement in our faculty, but most of the students get their jobs by the name of college. Since we have college related to art and aesthetics most of the students don't choose to work under any company, they rather choose to be an independent artist.

Infrastructure: It is quite good in Fine arts, previously we had the problem of Wi-Fi but now they are working on it. In term of architecture, they are amazing. The only problem is despite it being in the centre of the city we face network problem while in the campus of the college.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and helpful. Teaching quality is good but sometimes they try to force their ideas on us. Otherwise, they focus on each and every student personally and that is the positive side of college staff. And yes curriculum is very useful.

Other: In term of events they are quite good and regular.

Other: It’s a historic campus, graced by Aurobindo and Ambedkar. Economics has best of faculty yet has its own limitations. Campus politics has ruined the quality of crowd around the campus. Cleanliness has least priority and toilets in unusable state. The heritage building lies neglected. Campus lacks creative expression.

The best college for ever faculty and study .

Placements: Our senior group placements were in excellent places. About 70% of students have been placed. The maximum salary was 42 thousand and the minimum was 20 thousand. Various companies have visited our campus. About 52% students got internship. The maximum salary was 12 thousand and the minimum was 6 thousand. Nothing more is known about the placement cell but the university is providing a placement.

Infrastructure: Across the campus, they offer free Wi-Fi and the labs are well-equipped. The classrooms are clean and have the necessary facilities of lighting and fans. Infrastructure is good. The quality of food is very well. The medical facilities are very good and you can play any sport, I recommend it. At the health center, they provide all kinds of medicine they have and the staff and doctors are very kind.

Faculty: The college curriculum is excellent. The teaching faculty members are also good. The course syllabus covers almost everything required for our field. Most lectures are taught using projectors. Adequate lectures are organized to impart in-depth knowledge of a subject. However, the insights they provide are vast to understand.
