If you want to simply graduate, then you can take admission.

Placements: Placements were not likely. I heard about my college, and they also did not advertise it as being good for undergraduate courses. If you wanted a placement from this college, then sorry, I did not hear the word placement a single time from my teachers or any staff member.

Infrastructure: The building was good, but it was the same building that had been there when it was opened like 60–70 years ago. There were computer labs, smart classes, and a seminar hall. They were good, but the main problem was the fans in the class. Literally, a big room had only 4 to 5 fans, and they were also in one line, so only one row would get air.

Faculty: Teachers were good, but they did not understand other teachers. They helped every student, but when it came to a student saying, I did not attend your classes because I had to go to another teacher’s class, they said. Do you know everything about my subject.

Other: I only chose this course so I would not feel unemployed for at least 3 years.

Honest review of the Post Graduate Government College, Sector 11.

Placements: Placement at my college is quite nice. They invite so many companies, large-scale as well as small-scale, to the college and provide all the students with an opportunity to get an internship or job through written exams and interviews. The highest salary is Rs. 50,000 per month.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is not well maintained. Girls' washrooms are hygienic whereas boys' washrooms are not hygienic. There are spacious and fully AC girls' common rooms and a boys' common room for students. There are so many sitting areas on the college campus.

Faculty: The faculty of this college is amazing. They are quite educated on their subjects, humble, and helpful. They guide students really well. Exams are held twice a year, and the syllabus is designed by the university for all the affiliated colleges of the university.

Other: The college is quite popular for its education and selection. There is no such fest conducted on the college campus.

Good facilities, clean environment, and friendly staff.

Placements: 70 percent of students got placed. The highest package was 17 LPA. The average was 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Infosys, etc. Top roles offered were software developer, prompt engineer, and many other roles. There were many companies at my time, so I guess go for it.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure were good as compared to other departments. Friendly staff and a clean environment were provided. The labs were air-conditioned and neat. The food provided was always hygienic and taken care of for the nutrition of the students.

Faculty: Teachers were friendly and helped students. They were encouraging. The curriculum was relevant and practical. Lab lectures were effective and made students job-ready. The passing marks you need to score in each particular subject. There were MSTs (mid sem exams) too.

Other: I had a keen interest in computers and technology so I took this course. Fests were fewer, so I think there should be more fests and activities in the university.

Good students, nice faculty support, and beautiful campus surroundings.

Placements: Around 60-70% of students were placed in my course. The highest average package was around 6-8 LPA. The lowest average package was around 2.5-3 LPA. The top recruiting companies for my course were media and publishing companies, market research companies, and some advertising agencies. Around 50-60% of students got internships at companies like Times Group and Hindustan Times. Top roles offered by the companies were Research Analyst, Writer, and Journalism roles.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department were very good. Wi-Fi ran at very high speed. The lab was very neat and clean. The classrooms were modern. The library had a lot of books for students. The quality of facilities in my hostel was very good. The quality of the food available in the mess and canteen was also very good. Medical facilities were available. Sports and games were also played in a proper manner.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful. Some were Master's and Ph.D. qualified and very knowledgeable. The teaching quality was very good. The understanding was excellent.

Every student passed in my course. The pass percentage was 60%.

Other: I chose this course because I was interested in the field of media and journalism and in writing. The best thing about my course was that it provided a lot of knowledge. The course could have been improved by having regular interaction between students to improve communication or by conducting communication skill classes at regular intervals. The events, fests, campus crowd, connectivity, and campus surroundings were very good. Scholarships were given to eligible students. Extracurricular activities also took place.

A brief of Dr. Harvansh Singh Judges Institute of Dental Science.

Placements: A batch has 100 students. The highest degree in this college is Master of Dental Surgery. There's nothing like placements in this college. The interns get Rs. 14,000 as their stipend in BDS. The cut-off of this college is usually high as it's a semi-government college, being a part of Punjab University.

Infrastructure: The hygiene maintenance is quite poor. In the hospital, washrooms are not repaired or regularly cleaned. Food available is quite average. The hostel is well-maintained and quite impressive. The college gives very little importance to extracurricular activities as there is no such dedicated space.

Faculty: It's difficult to pass the semester exam in this college as a lot of people have to repeat. Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable though. The curriculum is relevant for a BDS student. Everything is taught well. Teachers are not very friendly with the students.

Other: The best thing is that I get an independent degree to practice surgery after five years and I have chosen a government university and college which would give me great clinical exposure. Fest and events are great.
