Review of my best college.

Placements: I receive numerous invitations from colleges and schools to teach, and I actively participate in seminars. Additionally, I offer tutorial coaching sessions to assist students with their studies, and these sessions are provided free of charge. Currently, I am employed as a teacher, focusing on educating students.

Infrastructure: If you are interested in securing a room at university hostel, you will need to fill out an application form. Along with that, you will be required to provide a distance certificate. For those seeking immediate accommodation, reaching out to the union room is advisable. However, this option requires a payment of approximately 1,20,000 rupees. In return, you will be allocated a well-maintained room in the hostel. Additionally, residents can expect to enjoy high-quality meals during their stay.

Faculty: Faculty members at our college are known for their approachability and supportive nature. Many of them excel in delivering quality instruction, which greatly benefits students. With adequate preparation and practice, exams are manageable and success is attainable. Despite a relatively low pass percentage of 25%, the curriculum is designed to equip students with skills and knowledge that will be advantageous in their future endeavors.
