Absolutely not satisfied, but okay for me about the faculty and placements.

Faculty: Their teaching quality depends upon the faculty's way of teaching, but most of the teachers are ready to clarify doubts whenever we may ask. The course curriculum is relevant to the subject titles. The semester exams difference is around a 6-month gap, and the pass percentage is 35 marks out of 75 for KSRCASW for other colleges it depends upon their rules and regulations.

Not a quality college for this amount.

Faculty: Teachers are student-friendly. They are not as good as other colleges when it comes to teaching and knowledge. It is hard during exams to prepare but because of autonomous mostly we will get passed. The pass percentage comes around 90 percent because of the autonomous institution.

I had a balanced college life between academics and entertainment regarding college.

Faculty: Throughout my college life, I have been blessed with some great teachers who considered it a passion and guided us in every possible way. Still, I have some disputes with a few of them, but that happens. Not everyone can be your favorite or get along with you. Compared to the curriculum we have now, our juniors' is way better and more extensive.

Overall, the college was good, but not well-satisfied.

Faculty: The teachers' teaching method was also okay, not bad. Some teachers were excellent in teaching and communication, but some of the teachers' teaching knowledge was a little okay. The college exams were neither difficult nor easy. Thet followed the semester pattern and syllabus, so it was easy to pass and get a good percentage.

It is accessed with various resources, but it is not very satisfying.

Faculty: A team of teachers is assigned for every new start batch. They are responsible for conducting discussions on various lectures and developing elaborate knowledge on them. Teachers are very liberal with students' examinations, and it would create the lowest percentage of scores in semester exams.

Overall, the college is good but average.

Faculty: Some faculty are good, while some are very strict and rigid. Semester exams are passed with a bit of luck. The teaching method is boring and not special. Especially since they do not provide smart classes or good water facilities, and they do not give important questions.
