M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2022

Offered by Christ College, Irinjalakuda

3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

2022 passed out from Christ College.

Placements: Placements were not so fulfilling and did not satisfy the desire of students. Only 15 to 16 members got some offers from the overall strength of 40. The minimum offers would start from 2,56,000 LPA, but they did not show much more concern about the placement than the academics.

Infrastructure: Classrooms were average with a capacity to arrange 100 comfortable seats at a time, as limited network connectivity with continuous power supply was set up in the classrooms. Ambience was positive, learn us to live with dignity. Students preferred to use college transportation due to the affordable cost.

Faculty: Teachers were internationally clear about their own work, their progress towards the lesson plans, and their completion was so complete and clear with higher accuracy. While coming to question and answer sessions, teachers answer more safely to all the questions, by giving confusing answers.

Overall, the best college for the M.A. in Economics course.

Placements: In our senior batch, almost 60% of the students were placed, with an average salary of around 13 LPA. Only a few students from our batch got internships, like around 15 to 20 out of 60. Most of the students joined non-core companies, and 35 to 60% of them got into core companies. The activities are good.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college has improved a lot in the last 2 to 3 years. Many new buildings were constructed. The newly constructed smart classrooms are air-conditioned. The new hostel is awesome and is being offered to first-year students. The mess food didn't hit the mark. The hostel has free Wi-Fi for second, third-, and fourth-year students.

Faculty: Some teachers are very good, but some have an ego about their teaching experience. Some of them are less technologically advanced, and they teach the ancients. Teachers should not continue to teach just to get paid, but they should teach in a positive way. Semester exams are easy, and the pass percentage is more than 75%.
