My journey in my college life, which I will really adore in my upcoming lifetime.

Placements: About 10 of them were there in my batch and in my course there was no package offered as it does not offer any and the top recruiting companies are not there for now. The top roles that are offered in my course are of teaching and business, as it is BA.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure that are available in my department are the classrooms, which are really good and the libraries, which are two or three on each floor, are very clean. Our library has teachers who are very disciplined. The quality of the facilities and infrastructure in our hostel is really nice. The quality of the food that is prepared in the mess is really hygienic; different foods are available on different days, and medical facilities are also really nice that are available. Sports and games are also really good, which are included in the curricular activities and my batchmates do participate in all those activities that are in NSS.

Faculty: Teachers in my department are really helpful with the students; they help with the doubts that are there in our subject and they are also highly qualified and have graduated from top universities in Prayagraj and they are also knowledgeable. The teaching quality is really good, and I really appreciate them all in my course, which is BA English with honors. Also, curriculum activities are there that are available in the NSS and my batchmates also participate in each of them surely. The semester is not that difficult and the exams are really subjective and objective both ways and the past percentage is 50 marks out of 100. Also, overall, the students also perform really well in our batch and the overall departments.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to do LLB in my upcoming future and BA English honors is a course in which we get to learn many subjects and many things that can be beneficial for me in my upcoming future. The things that I wish for my better improvement about my course are the unnecessary subjects like arts and broadcast production that should be removed, but it's okay, I'm fine with that. Also, the events, festivals, and campus crowd are really nice; they are always connected and organize events that are there, like freshers and teachers day, and the College Fest is also available, in which all the students participate and come regularly. The scholarship is also available at the top university of Prayagraj, and extracurricular activities are also organized in our department. Students do participate and the department also does a commendable job in terms of organizing functions and food stuff available.

It's a nice college for people who are hardworking.

Placements: The highest package is INR 35 LPA, and the lowest is INR 2.5 LPA. The average package is INR 3.5 LPA. Most of the students get placed, and the college helps every student in overall departments so that they get placed in good companies. There are no internships provided by the college.

Infrastructure: The central library has more than 113,947 volumes, consisting of textbooks, reference books, research and extension publications, including scientific journals and magazines, both Indian and foreign. Labs: Civil Engineering Lab, Medical Lab, Environment Engineering Lab. Facilities include Cafeteria, Gym, Hospital/Medical facilities, Wi-fi Campus, Auditorium. Other Facilities: Computer Science, Seminar Room, Conference Room, Open-Air Theatre, Post Office, Bank. Hostel: The University has twelve hostels on-campus, five for men and seven for women students, including one Women's International PG hostel. All the rooms are well-furnished, ventilated, and have Wi-fi Facilities. New International PG Hostels for men accommodate foreign students. Boys Hostel: Single Occupancy, Shared Rooms, In-Campus Hostel. Girls Hostel: Single Occupancy, Shared Rooms, In-Campus Hostel.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. As per my knowledge, no placements are offered in this course. The university itself does recruit teachers, so there's a good chance for the students if they had done well during their time in the university. The reputation of the college is also great and can help you get good jobs later. In B.A. Honours courses, the pass percentage is 40%, and for subsidiary courses, the qualifying marks are 35%.

Other: Everything is top-notch. I was interested in doing B.A. LL.B., so that's why I'm doing B.A. first because I wasn't getting admission in Government colleges as the merit was very high. Events, fests, campus crowd, connectivity, campus surroundings are environment-friendly and healthy for others. It's a positive feedback and response from my side.

Teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable.

Placements: As per my knowledge no placements are offered in this course. Will update on this. The university itself does recruit teachers so there's a good chance for the students if they have done good during their time in the university. The reputation of the college is also great and can help you get good jobs later.

Infrastructure: The campus is huge and has many faculty members. It has a library, enough space for you to enjoy your time studying. The university has maintained a healthy environment in the campus. Hostel, mess and canteen facilities are between average and above average.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They take care of how much you are getting out of the course. The curriculum is relevant and with some experience and training in the field it makes you industry ready. Semester exams are fairly tough but if you've been doing your studies you'll do great! 70% Attendance is compulsory.

Other: I took admission in 2020, hence most of the time I attended online classes.

Everything that glitters is not gold.

Placements: There are approximately 30 students in my batch. But the college is not good regarding teachers and studies. It does not provide any opportunity to students of jobs after the completion of graduation. No companies come here and even if any comes then only 1% students get placed.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is superb for those who are not serious toward studies. The only best thing in the campus is their infrastructure and building but the hostels are quite okay as compared to the other infrastructure of the college. The quality of food in the mess is also average, I mean it is edible.

Faculty: No extra curricular activities happen here. Tre college focuses on studies but that also is the worst here. The office staff and teachers are non-cooperative and have very rude behavior. The semester exams are easy because the teachers know what level they teach in. The papers are very easy. More than 86% students easily clear the exams.

Other: The college is not value for money because they only give out degrees. No proper knowledge is provided which one should have after completing the graduation. The college spends billions on infrastructure but it slowly recovers the amount by taking a cut from student’s pockets. If you come from a very rich family then you should take admission in this college otherwise this college is the worst for middle class students and poor background students. They don't provide scholarships also but make students fool by taking their money in the name of tours but never take students on any tour and don't refund their money.

I am satisfied with the college, faculty members, and infrastructure.

Placements: Placement forms were provided to all the students in our batch, but maximum, there were no placements provided to the students of the School of Film and Mass Communication. But placements were provided to the other departments. Students from different countries and states come here to study.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of college is quite good and eco-friendly. There are many trees and beautiful buildings in our college. Everyone is very good in nature whether it is the teachers or any student. There is no ragging allowed on the college campus. If anyone tries to rag the juniors, they will be punished by the teachers.

Faculty: Faculty members and the course curriculum are okay, or I can say quite good. They provide us with each and everything that we require related to gadgets or cameras like tripods, cameras, dolly, and crane. The subjects are also very interesting, and I love studying here. Teachers provide us with a good knowledge of our courses which helps us the most.

Other: Teachers are very helpful and good in nature, and they always help us with any difficulty. Some teachers don't have that extreme knowledge, but then can organise a lot of events like photography workshops and acting workshops. Students are very interested in participating in any events inside or outside the college. Scholarships are also provided to the students who score above 70% in exams.
