Satisfied with college overall, studies-wise, but extracurricular activities also matter.

Placements: Almost 90 percent of the students get placed in my course. I am not sure about the highest package at the moment, as I will get it next year. EY and Deloitte provide internship opportunities in the college group, but mainly students have to search for internships on their own. Roles include financial analyst, accountant, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi isn't provided. A library is available. A sports ground is there, but no major sports event is conducted apart from once a year. Food is available, and the quality is good. I have never come across the medical facilities. Sports facilities are good, but they should conduct events regularly.

Faculty: The teaching quality is good. A few teachers guide me throughout the course and are really helpful and knowledgeable. It is relevant and makes students industry-ready. The pass percentage is about 70 percent. The exams are quite easy to crack and pass.

Other: I chose this course for better knowledge. I want to pursue my career in finance. Best thing about it is that a few faculty is really helpful. They guide me throughout the course. There should be more sports events. Cultural fests and events should be held regularly.
