Absolutely dissatisfied and very controlling.

Placements: Packages for B.Com and BBA are okay, but B.A. and B.Sc. have no placements other than call centres. Packages are apparently good for B.Com and BBA, but there is no point if the other courses are getting menial jobs that aren't in the field they want to pursue. They should introduce more options.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not available to students and smart boards don't receive Wi-Fi. The library has no computers to do any research, the canteen is too small to accommodate, sports and games situation is just sad at best. Washrooms are horrible and honesty. None of the rooms has good benches or chairs either.

Faculty: Teachers are very average. The teaching quality is bad for a few subjects but very good for others. The curriculum is not for the modern day, as they follow a very paper-and-pen approach instead of modern technology and current skills. Exams are moderate and are based on the syllabus.

Other: This is more like school than college, 0 freedom whatever. Faculty and admin staff are on a power trip and they tend to want so much control over students.

Good infrastructure with good faculty.

Placements: Placements were average in our course. The highest package was 3 LPA and the lowest package was 2 LPA offered in our course. So many students did an MBA for knowledge and good placements with a high package. Some of the students did internships from our course.

Infrastructure: The facilities were also good but not excellent. The washrooms were good, good classrooms, and free Wi-Fi connection with a well-structured library with good books which were useful in a good way for students. The government hostel provided facilities that were average for a hostel.

Faculty: The faculty was good in our course. The quality of teaching was also good. They were very helpful in explaining and they also provided clearly understandable notes. The semester exams were average to moderate not so difficult if we followed the course curriculum they had prepared.

Faculty: Teachers in this college were very helpful and qualified. But all had great teaching quality. This course curriculum was relevant, and students were industry-ready. Semester exam in this course was so difficult hence pass percentage was more than 90 percent in my college.

Other: There was no wish to improve. Scholarship was also available but campus crowd was so good.
