    About Arts College at Vyasarpadi, Chennai.
    Placements: Placement drives are not enabled in our college for the previous batches. But nowadays, the government has initiated skill development training along with the recruitment drives. This helps the students to get secure, good jobs with an average salary package. Almost 72 to 75% of students get the opportunity to be placed in any of the companies participating in the recruitment drives.
    Infrastructure: The college doesn’t support students with transportation facilities, except for arranging a free bus. Hostel facilities are not available in our college, so they suggest some PG hostels near the college. The college offers education at free tuition fees, but students with good merit scores can be admitted easily.
    Faculty: Professors are beneficial to the college administration only. All the professors joined the college after clearing the required process and submitting the necessary documentation. They fail in communication, and the syllabus is unclear. They never share the seriousness of examinations with us, which creates students with a lot of backlogs.

    Placements: I'm sorry, I'm not sure about placement and job opportunities accuracy. Only limited seats are available for PG courses. Most of the students who want to become teachers/professors only studied in my class. Their not shown must interest in a placement.
    Infrastructure: In my class, no one belongs to the college hostel, so I don't know about the hostel's infrastructure and facilities. I heard that the hostel food is okay, not bad, and the infrastructure is also okay.
    Faculty: Since I have chosen mathematics they made the course curriculum as to enrichment with computer skills-oriented subjects and management skills-related papers too. They also included an internship project that has to be done in the summer holidays and also they conducted viva on the submission of the report. I'm so blessed I got wonderful facilities. All are more experienced in this field. I learned more from them. The way they teach itself you can understand how they are experienced. For complex sums also my teacher solves simple sums.
