All the faculty members are highly qualified.
Placements: There are very few placement and job opportunities, which are limited to very few departments in most cases. The college doesn't provide any kind of internship except for the science field; there are some, but in the humanities, specifically in our subject, there is no internship, and in graduation level, 1st year freshers didn't get any chance to apply for an internship. The overall experience is very bad because the ratio of always wanting to learn something at the university doesn't provide the opportunity to learn from an internship, and the placement and job opportunities are negligible, which gives a very bad impression of the university.
Infrastructure: There are 8 hostels provided by the college, divided for undergraduate women and postgraduate women: Lisbon lower hall of residence, Nohsngithiang fall hall of residence, Mikotoksin lower hall of residence, Persara hall of residence, Umiam hall of residence, Syntu Ksiar hall of residence, Pahsyntiew hall of residence, and Saramati hall of residence. Hostel fees are taken separately, and a part of the total amount is refundable at the time of leaving the hostel.
Faculty: The course structure was up-to-date with international standards. My department was dedicated to cultural understanding. Our course has assignments, written tests, and presentations on various topics. Exams are conducted at the end of the semester. The internal and external exams are conducted separately. Class size;-50 The course costs INR 8,000 per year.
