The university is good for pursuing degrees Because it's an open university. Overall good.

Placements: I don't know Null There was no requirement offered Null nothing except from the degree is offered Null

Infrastructure: There was no hostel as such because it's an open university. Books and other services were below average. And the staffs and service was good. But it's not hassle free at all. Sometimes it can be hard to contact them if we face any problem. But good for degrees I guess.

Faculty: Yes the teachers ar qualified but not that much helpful. Because whenever some problem occurs we have to figure that out by ourselves. Books and other services were below average. And the staffs and service was good. But it's not hassle free at all. Sometimes it can be hard to contact them if we face any problem. But good for degrees I guess.

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.
