B.A. in History - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It is the best college for graduation and postgraduation.

Placements: B.A. is a degree for many job options. With this degree, students can attend several exams in UPSC, SSC, banks, and other sectors and departments.

Infrastructure: The college is very good with all types of facilities available. It includes a library, Wi-Fi, subject laboratories, and big, clean classrooms. Facilities are very good.

Faculty: Teachers are polite and humble. They talk to everyone respectfully. They help students and clear all doubts about education and the future whenever needed. .

Other: Many types of events are organized on campus.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) - Batch of 2027

3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Overall, the university is good, and you can experience the best in it.

Placements: The placement is rare as it is controlled by the government sector. Other than B.Com, I think you can try some other courses. The package is not fixed yet, and the students should find the internship on their own. And in the last year, of course, internal marking is based on the internship report.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is good as the classroom is painted well and the lights and fans are also working properly. The canteens of the university are the best, not by the hygiene, but by the taste, they are too good.

Faculty: The professor teaches well, but they are not interactive as they focus only on completing the syllabus. The exams are properly conducted, but the rules of the exam are not known to their own teachers. Overall, the exam pattern is simple. And you can do it on your own study. And the faculty members are a little rude with the students, but it's okay, who cares?

Other: I chose this university because the area is safe, the students are helpful in nature, and my overall experience is good.

Offered by Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies

4.2

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

It is a good college for dedicated students, especially for computer subjects.

Placements: Since I am in the first year, I get to know from our seniors that most students get internships. The college management also helps students to get internships before the end of graduation. However, placements are not very high. Every year, a Naukri Mela happens here, under which students get placed with lower packages. The highest packages can go up to 5–6 LPA.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is solid. Each floor has two large computer labs and a faculty room. Each classroom has a smart board with a projector. Classes are quite big. There is a canteen with good food and a large ground. I am not in a hostel, but it is expensive. Facilities are good.

Faculty: Teachers are actually very helpful. They are not very strict, and if you are coming to this college, be ready for hard studies. You will not get much time to enjoy. Here, the first priority is study. You will get many responsibilities as a student if you want. All this makes you industry ready with hard skills as well as soft skills.

Other: Talking about events, around 5–6 events happen every month in which you can participate and gain recognition in college as well as win prizes. You will get a responsibility in the LTF, a management committee of the college that equips students with special skills for leadership and management. I chose BCA because this college is mainly famous for the BCA course due to its teachers, events for BCA students, labs, etc. Around 16–17 lab classes happen per week for BCA students. Everything is perfect here, but the only thing is that you do not get much freedom.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2026

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Totally satisfied with the faculty here. The only bad thing is the job role they bring.

Placements: 40-50% students in my course were placed last year. The highest package was 12 LPA, the lowest was 3.5 LPA, and the average was 5 LPA last year. Top recruiting companies were Jaro Education, ITC, and Amul. Almost 70% students got internships from the college. Top roles offered were Area Sales Executive, Sales Trainee, Business Trainee, Relationship Manager, and Business Development Counsellor.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice. The department looks beautiful compared to the rest of the departments in Lucknow University. Wi-Fi is available, and there is also a simulation lab with AC too. The classrooms have a projector, and the department also has its own hall, which is named Chanakya Hall. I'm a day scholar, so I don't know about the hostel.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful and well-qualified with a deep knowledge of their subjects. The course curriculum is relevant, it has every subject required for an MBA student. The semester exams are not difficult if you have studied well enough. 40% needed to pass.

My experience as a B.A. ( honours ) psychology student at National PG College, Lucknow.

Placements: Around 70-75 percent of students got placed or went for higher studies after the course. The highest package is 6 LPA. The average package is 3 LPA to 4 LPA. The lowest package is 2 LPA. Around 60 percent of students got internships, mostly in NGOs' mental health clinics. Top roles offered are assistant counselor, HR executive, research intern, and psychological assistant.

Infrastructure: The college provides Wi-Fi, psychology labs, and a smart classroom for teaching. The psychology lab is well-equipped with testing materials and apparatus for practical sessions. The library is excellent with many psychology books, journals, and e-resources. The campus is clean, green, and located in the heart of Lucknow, making it easy to reach.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, helpful, and experienced. They explain concepts in an easy and relatable way and encourage class discussion. The overall teaching is excellent, focusing on both theory and practical learning. Regular seminars, guest lectures, and workshops are organised.

Other: Supportive and motivating teachers and a good mix of theory and practical learning with exposure through intensive guest lectures and community work. The college organizes fests, cultural events, and academic seminars throughout the year.

Amazing academic experience with a vibrant campus, but don't expect good placement.

Placements: My experience with the placement cell was not good, and that's why I gave two stars in my B.SC Biotechnology course. The placement rate was extremely low, so most of us had to find jobs on our own. The collage provided almost no support, so we had to arrange everything ourselves

Infrastructure: The department infrastructure for my B.SC Biotechnology course was solid. We had a spacious classroom, well-equipped labs, and a good library, but the infrastructure needs some work. I am happy with the infrastructure for our college, it gives you an England vibe.

Faculty: I feel the faculty is the true highlight of the course. The teachers are not only highly qualified but also extremely supportive. As long as you attend the lecture, you can do well since the questions are based on class material. Semester exams are not too difficult if you attend classes regularly, you will definitely achieve a high score.
