Review of Ethiraj College for Women.
Placements: Under UG, about 50% of students got placed from my college, and some chose to pursue a post-graduation degree. The highest package is about Rs. 75,000, and the lowest package is about Rs. 20,000. The average package is about Rs. 50,000. Wipro, TCS, and Accenture are top companies where students get internships through the course. Top roles offered are HR, management roles, code developer, and many more.
Infrastructure: Facilities are good. We have classrooms with two big windows for less suffocation, proper tables, chairs, proper fans, and light. We even have our own department's computer laboratory. The variety of food in canteen is less, but it's cooked with quality. My college is well known for its events, culture, and sports. Hostel rooms are pretty good too. We have Apollo Shine on our campus for medical emergencies.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They are extremely good at English and experienced. They conduct 2 CAs before the semester for our practice. In our upcoming computer and AI generation, this course is perfect. Semester exams are difficult, but we can crack them once we learn everything. Pass mark is above 40%.

M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2023

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Overall, it's the best university for M.A. in economics course.
Placements: Our university's first batch (2023) had very few businesses. Corporations hire only 55-66 of our branch's 80 students. 6 LPA was the highest package. 3 LPA was the minimum pay offered. The average bundle supplied was around 4 LPA. RBI, NITI Aayog, World Bank, and other institutions visited our campus to recruit students. The most sought-after positions were financial analyst and economist. Many students got internships.
Infrastructure: All transport arrangements were available from our university, so no need to worry about dispensaries and other such facilities. It was a healthy and peaceful campus. There was a specific menu followed by our canteen manager. There was free Wi-Fi on campus.
Faculty: The faculty group was strong because all of the faculty hold PhDs. The science and management faculty members were among the best. The intriguing part was that the majority of them live locally, making it easier to contact them. All teachers were gladly cooperative. The semester tests were simple to moderate, with a pass rate of approximately 65%.

The college offers only Biotechnology and Microbiology courses.
Placements: The packages offered by the companies range between 3.5 and 5 LPA. They do not exceed this for any of the roles for hiring students. Hiring companies recruit for roles like Project Associate and Research Associate in companies like Retro Biotech, Aragen Life Sciences, Beta Technologies, and Biocon, which may differ yearly.
Infrastructure: The college properly monitors students by pushing us to follow all disciplinary rules. They are giving the severest punishment instead of collecting fines. The first mandatory rule for students is to be properly dressed as per the norms, like trimming, ID cards, uniform, etc., for checking into everyday classes. The campus is sufficient to teach and help students learn professional and life skills.
Faculty: Teachers screen students to determine whether they are capable before providing seats. Many teachers are kind to students and create a space for an easy approach. However, very few teachers break the confidence of students by making prejudgments and discouraging them.
