Great atmosphere, good faculties and good people.
Placements: In my opinion, nobody got placed with just this course. We have to take another master's after this course. Placement was offered by the faculties, but with only this course we won't get any placement.
Infrastructure: Classes were held in the library room of the DDE building. The Wi-Fi connection was very bad. I shared a hostel room with two other students. The hostel rooms and mess were clean and hygienic, but the mess food was below average on most days.
Faculty: All the teachers were well educated and helpful. Their classes were educational and informative in all aspects. I think some students were industry-ready after their training. Semester exams were tough for science students, but for others it was okay.
Other: I chose this course for my master's in forensic science. However, there was only one paper in the second semester for forensic science, which was disappointing and not very helpful for my further studies. The course was supposed to last a year, but they completed it in eight months. I didn't get to experience my full campus life because of that. On the plus side, the students were friendly and helpful, and there were events and festivals on campus.

Criminology is often studied as a joint honours degree, typically Sociology or Psychology, however, there is an array of options for students who wish to study two subjects at university such as Anthropology or Law. Thank you.
