Maximal deals excel in commutative brings with unity.

Placements: I don't think that our college has any placement system, and even if we have any it is not so much that we should be aware of it. We don't have any percentage of students who got any placement in any companies. We don't have any top roles in our college or our department.

Infrastructure: In our college, we don't have any hostel system or something like that. But we have menu faculty members in our college like central library, college union, sports union, etc. We have a clean cafeteria. The food is good enough for the students and professors.

Faculty: Teachers are so much helpful. They are more than enough qualified and knowledgeable. Teachers teaching quality is more than enough for us. But the main problem is that we don't have enough professors in our mathematics department. The semester exams' difficulty level is moderate.

Review of Netaji Subhash Open University.

Placements: This is an Open University; there is no such placement in our college. This college provides good education, but there is no on-campus placement in the university. In this college, you can get a Diploma, BS, BA, etc., but there is no such placement on the campus.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is below average. The college doesn't have any campus; they have just a small house-type building. This is all they have; they don't provide hostel facilities because they don't have any hostel. There is no library and no good classrooms in the college.

Faculty: The faculty of the college is good; they are very helpful and well knowledgeable. They teach us very well. In the course, they help us build our profiles effectively. The semester exams at the college are not too difficult. If someone studies well, they can pass easily.

Good faculty and facilities.

Placements: This college doesn't provide placements, however the facilities are definitely good and our department has the best resources compared to any other college in the city. If you want to pursue life sciences, this college is a solid choice. The college has also added arts streams recently.

Infrastructure: Good quality equipments are available with up to date knowledge faculty members. The classes are equipped with projectors for smart classes. The classrooms are spacious and well lit. The environment is very cozy and quiet. The library has adequate amount of books and operates on a weekly basis. There is a gym room but it has not been opened yet for the students. The sports facilities are not very great as there is not any big playground is available.

Faculty: Great professors with high qualifications and good experience in the teaching line. The course system under the university could be definitely better. The professors are well qualified and use the resources properly along with providing extra knowledge while also following the curriculum.

Other: This college is the only government college in my location, thus the choice. One of the best faculty members available in oir department, along with good facilities provided compared to other colleges. Since I don't love in hostel, I won't be able to provide information on that.

NSOU is excellent for us.

Placements: Our college students mainly focus on off-campus jobs. The highest package offered was 4 LPA by Byjus BDE. On the other hand, the lowest placement package was 1 LPA for a trainee position. Some students also got internships in reputed companies like Paper Link Software, BYJUS, etc.

Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi facilities throughout the campus. The classrooms are well-lit and clean. All the benches are fine. It has a huge central library and some small libraries having a large collection of books. The food served in the canteen is very tasty and the food court has a wide range of food available. The University has proper medical facilities. Our college provides a large football field inside the campus.

Faculty: Our college faculty members are very helpful. All the teachers and staff are highly knowledgeable. They are usually ready to help us. The way they teach us during the exams is very helpful. B.A. in English (Hons) is very relevant in our life these days. The course helps us to know the art, culture, and literature, which have been followed for a long time. It introduces us to different traditions, which different communities have practiced.
