The college has good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: A few of them were placed because there is a smaller mass of people in economics. That's one of the reasons. I am not sure about the package, but I can say a decent amount. In different courses, students got internships and even placements. Range and ICICI are the recruiting companies. HR and research analyst are the common roles.
Infrastructure: The library is the main facility, which is helpful for the students. Wi-Fi facility is available for both students and faculty members. There are several messes and canteens available for different houses. A gymnasium is available for hostel students. Ground available for all the students. University sports games are held among different houses.
Faculty: Teachers are really helpful and skilled in their spheres of knowledge. The quality of teaching is awesome. Levels of semester exams are good. The pass percentage was the same as 33%, and there are some exceptions. There are extra technical subjects there for extra skills.
Other: I selected this course because it provides several opportunities in all spheres of life, whether it is the government or the private sector. Specifically for the banking sector. It also provides great exposure to the private sector.
