    Most of the students pursued an M.A. in Arabic course.
    Placements: Our university provided excellent placement opportunities with respected firms such as Jamia Millia Islamia, Concentrix, and Toshiba. Approximately 77 percent of students were placed in good positions, with the remainder in medium positions. Vocational training was accessible to all university students. Literature, intelligence analysis, and other careers were available. 7 LPA was the compensation package.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure was also excellent. Because of the time frame, there were numerous options. When fieldwork was not possible, hotels offered comfortable lodgings with adequate maintenance facilities. Even if there was an electrical problem in the flat, they resolved it on the same day. Cleanliness was strongly maintained on campus and in the dormitories.
    Faculty: All of our university faculty members held masters and doctoral degrees from IITs or prestigious overseas universities. Teaching was really nice, and teachers were extremely helpful. The course curriculum was very relevant and prepared students for jobs. Semester exams were too simple to pass, with a 96 percent success rate.

    Overall, the best College for M.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication Course.

    It is a decent college with good facilities.
    Placements: Placements are very poor for this course. There are many recruiting companies, especially foreign companies like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc. Although very few students got placed. Authorities are working on that part. The course is effective for academics and not for jobs.
    Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is decent with well-structured labs, a good developing library, and facilities like Wi-Fi. Hostels are good and separate for both boys and girls. The hostel for girls is not yet fully developed. The building-related tasks will probably end within a few years.
    Faculty: The teaching staff members are good here. Some are excellent at teaching and solving doubts. Overall, most of them are very coordinated and cordial. They teach us relevantly according to the course curriculum. There are exams in every semester, which are well-timed. Exams are moderate to tough.

    It's a totally good campus with good infrastructure and academic conditions.
    Placements: There is a placement cell, but that is not efficient. But some of the departments, like MBA, have their own placement cells. The university placement cell is not working properly, so we need to find other jobs in the job market. But there are some companies that are recruiting students.
    Infrastructure: There is a good hostel facility and a mess. Hostel food is far better than others. The hostel has four shared and single rooms. The cost of living is very low here. Only 170 rupees per month is rent. We can afford it easily. Toilets are very neat and clean.
    Faculty: Here, the faculty is very qualified and highly educated. We can easily access their guidance. They will truly help us in our own projects and research. Some of them are world-listed scientists. We can talk to them and make decisions in our project work.
    Other: There are so many events on campus.

    Will be useful if used in a good way.
    Placements: The first batch of the course will be completing the course in 2026, so the placements and recruiting companies are not known. Every student is informed and given internship opportunities by the department from the second year onwards. It is kind of mandatory to do an internship within the third year.
    Infrastructure: Currently, the department doesn’t have a building of its own, but they will soon have one. The department building currently used has Wi-Fi, library, computer labs, and classrooms. Students have both men’s and women’s hostels within the campus, along with a gym, stadium, health center, central library, and a park.
    Faculty: It is a research-oriented course, so if seen that way, it will be easier and more useful. The course curriculum is relevant, but if it had more practical exposure, it would be more useful for the students. The difficulty of exams varies among students. Every resource for studying is available in the department library or central library.
