College hostels provide all the basic needs of students.

Placements: A breaking record this year on campus at Kaamadhenu College witnessed a whopping INR 29 lacs package from a management consulting company. 3rd year commerce student Reha Grover says this overwhelming offer from Parthenon is the highest package received by the college in the past few years. Above 90 percent of students got placed last year. Many big companies came to the campus and recruited the students at a high rate.

Infrastructure: I am a hostel student. The college hostel is very good on campus. The college is number one in the game of Kabaddi. The college is very useful for students. I am very lucky to be a hostel student. I am very happy to enjoy the Kamdhenu Arts and Science College in a road district. The hostel fulfils the basic desires of every student who stays there. A Wi-Fi connection is also provided by the hostel to the students.

Faculty: The course structure is awesome, no doubt. However, I would like to mention that it is more about individual performance, and a student has to be active. Spend time in the library and make as much use of the resources as you can. At the end, it is your own understanding of literature and subject matter that makes a difference. As far as the course structure goes. It has no flaws at all. The professors of this college are always kind and helpful; they always help in clearing doubts. Class size:-60 Course fees: INR 4000 per year.

One can experience a good quality time at the college and have fun with friends.
