2Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

I am grateful to be an alumnus of this college, it's a great place.

Placements: I can't say much about placements as the drive runs during our exams. So, rarely do students from the batch get selected, but students from other batches do get selected, and oftentimes placement drives take place in college. Many seminars are held to teach us for placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really cool. At MCM, we even have a girls' common room. It has AC and it is so comfy and relaxed, we often made assignments there, chilled, and worked on annual functions, chit-chat, and gossiped and had a amazing laugh.

Faculty: Faculty members are okay. But the teachers here are so helpful and sweet, they help a lot. Great teachers. The curriculum of the course is relevant and up-to-date. The semester exams are pretty good to examine us. They are good, according to the syllabus they taught us.

Other: I chose Sociology, and the best thing about this course is that it took me to the roots of society, why and what is happening around us. I love this subject. They can make it more technical in the future, and also need to add more research papers, campus and college events, and annual functions, which are damn fun that happen all the time in college. Loved it, enjoyed it.

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.

Great exposure to strategic and military concepts, with defence-oriented events & valuable learning.

Placements: Placement for Defence students are limited. But several students secured their roles in think tanks, policy research institutions, media, civil services, and the army. The recruiting companies are CDS, Air Force, Navy, DRDO, Professor, Researchers, etc. Top roles offered are defence analyst, colonel, and content writer and in the army.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and Wi-Fi are decent and have projectors for better understanding. The library has helpful resources for research. Hostels are clean, but have small rooms, and the mess food is average. Medical facilities are available on campus, and there are decent grounds for sports, a gym, and a swimming pool for students.

Faculty: The faculty is well-qualified, with a mix of academic and defence backgrounds. Teachers are approachable, helpful, and very friendly. The curriculum is theory-heavy but relevant for students preparing for civil services and mostly about geopolitics, India's national security, etc. Semester exams are moderately difficult, with a pass percentage above 85%.

Other: I chose this course due to my interest in national security, defence services, and my passion for the army. The best part is the exposure to military strategy, geopolitics, and current affairs. More field visits, guest lectures from experts, and practical training would improve the course. Our department organizes a large and well-managed event, Kavach, where army personnel are invited. They showcase their weapons and teach students about them, which is a fun event. This department also provides scholarships for SC/ST students and provides rewards for competitions and activities.

M.A. in Psychology - Batch of 2025

2Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It is good for exposure and not for placements.

Placements: Psychology as a subject does not have placements directly but in the university, they do not exist at all. No company comes for interviews. Even though it is an arts degree, there are chances we will be able to figure out what to do after this if we have good contact with seniors and professors.

Infrastructure: The psychology lab does not have the required apparatus or software when it comes to practical or dissertation work. In this aspect, other colleges are better. But overall the university atmosphere is good. Hostels and food are available. All markets and medical facilities are nearby.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and approachable if we try out. The course curriculum is relevant and not very difficult to complete in the given time. University culture has more to do with our own experiential attitude that helps to learn new skills. It is very easy to pass exams.

Other: Students can choose the university if they want exposure generally in life and our course as well. If students are someone who is very noted and study-oriented, then they might find it hard as here we have to do things on our own mostly. Even though teachers do take classes and help us when needed. They do not hand out all the required materials.

Reviewing and exploring college life.

Placements: Placement in this college is very limited. Only a few companies come to this college. The companies are basically from the Mohali and Panchkula side. The placement process is paper-based in this college. Few students get selected through these placements. Most students have to find placements themselves.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of this college is very good. Each department has its separate block. The library is spacious and well-equipped. Hostel life is also good. Proper meals are provided to students in the hostel mess, which is very neat and clean. The college also provides proper medical facilities. Sports tournaments are regularly held on campus.

Faculty: Faculty is very helpful and well-educated. The teachers have earned a Ph.D. in their respective fields. The exams are moderate. Students can easily clear their exams. The passing percentage is 33% out of 100%. 20 marks are for the internal assessment, and 80 marks are for the paper.

Other: This course is very interesting. The best thing about the course is that you have to write a research paper, which is very useful. There are a lot of fests in this college. The college is very crowded during the fests.
