We have one smart classroom, a library, and computer for each school. Our hostel has water cooler on each floor, 2 fans, and 2 wardrobes in each room. It has big rooms, etc

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and understand the difficulty of students and help them. They also help us to gain confidence and help out the students who are poor. The curriculum is relevant in the present society. The semester exams are not much tough nor easy. 40 percent is the pass percentage

Other: It is my favorite subject and my plus 2 main subject. Lack of giving work and classroom shortage. Our department does not conduct any events but gives scholarships and does not provide them for us.

Placements, infrastructure, courses in PU.

Placements: Every student should do internship in 2nd and 3rd year. We have to find by ourselves. The department does not provide any assistance in finding internship and placement. The placement offers are very rare. I do not know about placement offer package, top recruitment companies,and top roles.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and hostel are good. There are Wi-Fi classrooms, main and department libraries, and labs. The mess food is average and worth the price. Health facility is available 24/7. Facilities available for sports include an indoor court and stadiums.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and experienced. The teaching quality is good. The semester exams are not too hard. Exam time table is quiet inconveniable. 50 percent is the pass percentage. The curriculum maintains quality and contains essential elements.

Other: The Sociology department has good standard, so I choose it. There is lag in finishing syllabus. The campus is clean and well maintained. Only limited events and fests.
