M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2024
3.2
It provides great infrastructure but the placements level are not good.
Placements: Placements are very low in this college. Even if placed, the average salary package offered is 2 LPA. Maximum students either go for postgraduation or government jobs in their respective fields. But the quality and the level of study are real good. This university has made and kept a huge reputation in foreign as well.
Infrastructure: Students get access to Wi-Fi at the campus, the library is well built with a wide variety of books. University laboratories are well-equipped. Sports and games are well implemented. Hostelers get healthy and clean diets daily. The mess food is 10 out of 10. Hostels are secure in this college.
Faculty: All the teachers are doctorates and highly knowledgeable. Teachers guide students well and even help with the research. The exam conduct system can be considered good and beneficial for students with a passing percentage to be 50%. Each semester has a total of 4 theoretical examinations and practicals. Because the marks and syllabus are distributed in a good way so the pressure is not much on students.
Other: Fests are less in this college. Being this university, students will find a huge crowd here with about 90% of students from Punjab itself. Canteens are many in number and good. Many scholarships are being given and received.

I am satisfied with teaching faculty members and infrastructure.
Placements: The college does not provide placements. It is important to place the students who are in need of a job in their particular field. The major drawback of the course is placements. It is good to show a good platform to place students in their particular subjects. So placements should be provided by the institute.
Infrastructure: The college provides a good range of internet services. Canteens were good, and the library has good books. The library facilities are good except for maintenance. Dusting should be done on time to time. The faculty of the library is very helpful. But the library section should be organised properly to help the students to find out particularly.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were knowledgeable. The course curriculum should offer more creativity and innovation in teaching. The assignments should be encouraged for students learning. The inclusion of online learning should be encouraged by teachers. They should improve the traditional method of teaching with new educational technologies.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Most of the students got the job in the government sector, posts like HDO, ADO and got a good amount of salary. Some of the students went to abroad for higher studies. One of the students got an internship in the USA for the Ph.D. programme. So all the students perform well in their fields.
Infrastructure: Facilities are quite good for research work in college as well as in the regional stations. The condition of hostel is not so much good but there is availability of Wi-Fi. Smart classrooms are there for the study and also library is there in the college.
Faculty: Yes, teachers are helpful and well trained in their respective field of work. Teaching quality is also good. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant to the degree and it makes the students industry ready. So all the conditions are quite well in the college.
Other: I chose this course because of the interest in horticulture.

    Which books should I follow to clear PAU test after clearing 10th?

    Answered 3 days ago

    NCERT books are so basics and I think you should prefer NCERT book of class 10th for math and science. English section consists of vocabulary and basic concept so no need to word. You have to revise only tense and synonyms, antonyms and verb. Alos agronomy is of basic level.
