The best college in Salem district.
Placements: The eligibility criteria for the placement is a 90% pass percentage. TCS, TIMES OF INDIA, etc. are some of the recruiters and recruited 15 students in the past year. The lowest package is 2.4 L per annum. The highest package is 12 L per annum. 50% of students who have scored above 75% marks were placed in the past year. I have planned to pursue a B.Ed. degree to become a teacher.
Infrastructure: We have NCC, NSS, RRC, LITERARY, BLOOD DONATION clubs, etc. If you need the details about the college, you can follow the Instagram page @Salem7_arts.Mostly, our department doesn't conduct any festivals, events, or cultural activities. So don't expect these and all. If you expect these within the college, you may choose the political science department. Inside our college we have a library, discipline and a nice canteen. Near our college, we have a district library. In the library, we have a lot of books to read.
Faculty: Each semester has a working day of 90. The exams are difficult till now and you can pass easily in them. I have chosen this course to become an artist in literature and for a degree. Most of the professors completed Ph.D.s and were well trained. Every professor has experience of about 5–30 years. So, we need not worry about teaching. Always, the professors will encourage you at all times and places .
