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.

Overview of NSOU: Faculty, curriculum, and examinations.

Placements: Placements are not provided at open universities like NSOU. They primarily focus on distance education and providing flexible learning opportunities rather than traditional campus-based programs with placements. Students are usually encouraged to seek employment on their own after completing their studies.

Infrastructure: As an open university, NSU typically does not offer host facilities due to the nature of its distance education programs. Regarding infrastructure for courses, NSOI focuses on providing robust online learning resources and support services tailored to remote learning.

Faculty: At NSOU, faculty members are typically experienced educators and professionals in their respective fields dedicated to delivering quality education through distance learning. The curriculum is designed to meet the academic standards of the respective courses.

Good college, but exams are a little bit of a pain.

Placements: About 50 to 60% of students are placed. The highest salary package is INR 90,000 per year, and the lowest salary package is INR 8,000 per month. Many public and private institutions are recruiting students. About 40% of students got internships at public and private banks.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and libraries are available. The classrooms are well cleared by staff. There are many types of books in the library. Canteen food and food court quality are very good. Medical facilities are available. We have a big field outside the college for sports and games.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and well-qualified. They teach us very well and solve every problem. This helps the students be industry-ready. The semester exam is very tough, but our teachers provide notes before the exam. The pass rate is 80%, which is easy if you read well.

A very good college and good for jobs.

Placements: Our college is a very good institute for placements. Most of the students get placements based on their skills. If you are confused, they will help you with the career counseling process. The highest package in our college is 3.5 LPA, and the average is 2 LPA. Internships are available but hard to get. Jobs are better.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is well-designed, and you will feel connected to nature. The building was designed with great creativity and painting. This college supports anti-ragging, so you can study comfortably and enjoy your college life. You will get all the facilities, like a medical, a mess, and a canteen with vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items. The college also has hostels surrounded by beautiful greenery.

Faculty: The faculty members at this college are amazing. They have different levels of qualifications and experience. There is no restriction on using a particular language for teaching in our college. If you speak Hindi, you will get its explanation in Hindi too. The course syllabus is very satisfying and was brilliantly taught by the mentors.

Quality education is guaranteed.

Placements: The placement cell is absent. No placements are available in our course. The college is extremely good, but currently, in modern times, there are no placements available in our course. So I cannot mention the highest feels, the lowest feels, or the average feels. I will continue my higher studies at this institute.

Infrastructure: The course fee is relatively high, but it has all the important facilities required. Classrooms are neat and clean. Also, the security of the campus is well maintained. It is a ragging-free campus. Annual sports and games are arranged as per the academic calendar.

Faculty: All of our professors are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. With high-quality faculty members, the education is commendable. There is no quality loss in terms of our educational environment at the university. Being an open university, it allows both regular and distance students. The passing percentage is around 85%.

Other: Some improvements are required, but solid academic experience.
