A campus full of life and dreams.

Placements: My batch has about 40 students. It has a fee of about Rs. 18,000 INR. My course allows students to have placements in finance and economy-related companies. Students can get internships in the economics sector after the completion of this course. The top roles that can be achieved by this course are IES officer.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and library infrastructure of the department are good on the campus, and the quality of hostels is also good. Their facilities for food, water, and sanitation are provided in the hostel. The food available in the canteen is hygienic and good. Medical facilities are also provided in the hostel. A game room and gymnasium is also provided.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and well-qualified. The teaching quality in the course is worth the money. The course curriculum is relevant at this time, making it eligible for a competitive exam. The semester exams in the college are not so difficult, but difficult enough for students ' preparation. The pass percentage is 4.5 CGPA.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in economics and government services. The best thing about this course is that it provides you with real-time knowledge about the economy and the institutions and instruments working in the economy.

I am satisfied with the provisions.

Placements: Tara Consultancy Service and various research companies were the top recruiting companies. Almost 40% of the students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered was 12 LPA in the beginning. Roles like analyst management, etc., were offered to students.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are well-maintained with updated libraries, well-painted classrooms. Wi-Fi is available here. Computer labs are well-furnished with proper seating arrangements. Hostel mess is good, and the food is available 24 hours in the mess. There is also a canteen.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are helpful, well-qualified. They are completely updated with the recent trends in the economy. The course curriculum is relevant enough for masters level with the knowledge of various software, which might help students in their job field.

Other: The college surroundings are well-attractive for students.

It is a good college for students.

Placements: The college provides placement opportunities. Some of our seniors got placed. The highest salary package offered was 4-5 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 1-2 LPA. Companies like HDFC and IBM visited our college for placements. Roles related to computer assistance were more offered. There is a placement cell in our college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. There are proper facilities for students. The food served is not proper. There are no proper seating arrangements for students in the library. There is no air-conditioner available in USOL department which is also part of Panjab University. Wi-Fi access is not provided to all students.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are very helpful. They are well qualified and knowledgeable. They teach through proper PPTs as visual things have more effect on our learnings. I didn't get any industry exposure. The course curriculum was helpful for future use.

Other: Fest is organised every year with proper security.

Panjab University is a place to rejoice.

Placements: There is an active placement cell for the economics department. However, due to lack of infrastructure, placements in the college are not that good. Companies like TCS and Xceedence from Gurgaon visit the college for placements. They only conduct a written test and then a group discussion round, followed by a personal interview. However, the final number of students getting call letters is relatively low as compared to the total number of students in that particular batch. There are no internships provided by the department. They circulate the brochure if there are any opportunities, but no such firm efforts are made on this front. The college is really helpful, and you will get guidance, but you have to be on your own at the end.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are old but spacious and airy enough to accommodate maximum students. The department library is decently equipped with the required books. However, the main attraction is the AC Joshi library where students can sit and study 24*7 without any disturbance. There are many sports grounds in PU, and they are well-maintained. The hostels are old, but there are new ones that are recently constructed. The main thing is that the food they provide is healthy and hygienic. However, the law auditorium is also perfect for any event, be it a national event or departmental freshers party or farewell party.

Faculty: The course curriculum is well-designed to enhance the knowledge of students in that subject matter. However, it is not in link with the present times. It lacks practicality and is definitely not job-oriented. It was designed earlier, and they've failed to review and revamp it with time. The faculty members are great and highly knowledgeable. They try their best to keep students in touch with the present times. However, industry exposure provided is completely nill. Students can make a career in the research field, but a career in the private industry is not on the cards if you plan to be here.

Highly satisfied with the college in all aspects.

Placements: Placements are conducted for students pursuing their master's degree, and around 87% of students get placed every year. The highest salary package offered is 5 LPA and the lowest is Rs. 10,000 per month. Managerial roles are offered to students. Internships are done by 100% of the students because it is compulsory to get the degree.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is amazing and is of A class. It has all the basic facilities like well-equipped classrooms, clean campus, good and healthy food in the canteen, and spacious hostel rooms along with playgrounds for activities. I have not faced any infrastructure related issues during my tenure.

Faculty: Teachers are very supportive in all aspects. They are highly educated and qualified with great industry experience. Presentations and books are used in order to teach students. Industry exposure is available through internships which are done for 3-6 months, and there are industrial visits every month.
