4Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Review of St. Albert's College.

Placements: St. Albert's College is an NAC A Grade accredited college. It was a super college for studies, but not for cultural festivals. The course was completed in 5 months, and they provide internships in almost all courses. The placements also continue before graduation.

Infrastructure: They provide practicals in each sem. The hostel was in college only for boys. Sometimes the Wi-Fi didn't work, and the library was good for all students. On Thursday, they provide egg biriyani and chicken biriyani on Friday in the canteen, and it will be good food at that college.

Faculty: The faculty members are good in their character and teaching. Exams are mostly tough on the first attempt, but some subjects are easy to pass on the first attempt. If we study well, we can achieve a rank in graduation. Follow a strict study material before the exam on time.

Other: In this college, there are two batches. The crowd are very high when two batches attend the cultural festivals, but mostly they divide each batch to attend the programs over two days.
