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

Placements: Companies hire students for the BPO customer service associate role rather than roles like content specialists, teaching, etc. These companies offer the medium packages, starting with 2.9 LPA, which is not enough even as a fresher. Companies like Aon, Antal International, and PlanetSpark participate in placements.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are enabled with online learning tools for the active participation of students. Libraries are accessed with various digital and offline journals and books. It is also accessed with DELNET. The transport services are provided by them around areas of the district.

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.

Guidance for MBA discipline in placements scored the least.

Placements: BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Accenture, and IBM were a few of the recruiters for the disciplines of MBA based on discussions by various placement offices there, and I rated 3.5 stars for placement coaching, which varied for disciplines, but for MBA it scored the least.

Infrastructure: The college was exclusively built for women students and supported them with lower-fee structures, others were encouraged to join the college considering the safety measures insisted for women. The transport system was enabled with all safety measures and even fitted with GPS tracking.

Faculty: The MBA courses were offered in various disciplines like Management, Marketing, IT, and other specifications. The faculty members created impactful sessions and were responsible for creating professional leaders, and the potentially admiring faculty members hoped for the students’ best at all times.

Overall, the college is good but average.

Placements: Managers, IT employees, and lab assistants get roles depending on our skills and capabilities, so the roles are relevant. Basic roles are provided. But some students are selected in TCS, Infosys, and HCL, and many of them settle in other states and countries.

Infrastructure: I think it is good compared to government colleges. The hostel is okay, but the food is the worst. The students and friends are very good and calm-minded, and you have to open up with them. Some students can be threatening, but you should not get involved in any type of fight.

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.
