The best college from my experience.

Placements: Almost 60% of students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered was 25 LPA, and the lowest was 15 LPA. Around 25–30% of students got internships. Our college taught us about technology, infrastructure, business processes, and historical topics. I never applied for any internships, but at the end of every year, the placement cell of our college invited more than 30 companies to hire new interns.

Infrastructure: The college offered hostel facilities for students who lived far from home. There were limited seats in the hostel, and you got a hostel seat based on merit and the distance from your home. The hostel was a good option for girls at Bharati College, as it was safe and provided good infrastructure facilities.

Faculty: The course curriculum at the university, followed in all the colleges, was amazing. The study of history became more thematic as soon as I entered undergraduate. This helped us understand history beyond just wars and kings. Faculty delivered the lectures professionally, as they were trained to do so, and they had quite good academic experience. They gave us assignments that we had to complete, and teachers kept us updated with regular updates on subjects. They were friendly with the students. I was very satisfied with their teaching methods.

Other: In the first year, courses offered by faculty and department were limited, but in the M.A. final year, the courses became more diversified, and specializations were introduced. Students could choose based on their likes and the subjects they wanted to study in the future.

The students, faculty, staff and everyone is good and sociable and friendly.

Placements: I'm new here; I don't know that much. But maybe from 5th or 6th semester students are eligible for campus placements, as per the faculty members; many companies visited the university. As per the college site, 90% of students get placement. I don't know that much about internships at the university, but as per the seniors, students had a positive experience. Some students have secured internships with companies like Wipro, HDFC, and the Aditya Birla Group.

Infrastructure: So many functions, like International Mother Language Day, Kabi Guru Utsav, Basant Panchmi, Holi, and Naba Barso, are celebrated. They have a good central library and a separate library for the department. Not so modern technology is available there. They organize good sports.

Faculty: The faculty members are good; this is my first year, and I quite like the faculty there. Some faculty are strict, and some are funny. Faculty members are very approachable, as they said if you have any problem related to ragging or studies, you can talk to them. I think everything is good among teachers and students. There are exams held in the name of mid 1, mid 2, and ending sem.
