Free Admission For Meritorious Poor Students & Toppers

ERD Foundation has taken an initiative to support and provide free education to the exceptionally meritorious students from families belonging to BELOW POVERTY LINE, as they cannot afford the financial liability of such courses.
The management of ERDF has been giving free admission for meritorious students of BPL families in all the institutes run by ERDF. Similarly, decision has been taken to admit meritorious BPL students specially from rural areas as per criteria prescribed by both ERDF and USTM. BPL students already passed out from different institutes have been engaged in various reputed organizations making the efforts of ERDF fruitful.

The environment was good, and faculty was very helpful.

Placements: After completing the 4th semester in law, students could apply for placements provided by the placement cell. It was based on the best performance of students in their academic roles, internships, and other curricular activities. The placement cell in the college had visits from companies like Wipro, Infosys, and USB. Around 60% of students got placed after completing the course. Litigation was my career plan after this course.

This university has a very clean and green campus.

Placements: Most of my class is doing placements in chemical companies. I think the package is between 2-4 LPA. About 20% of students are doing internships. In Chemistry M.Sc., students are mainly getting offers from chemical companies and other institutions like junior colleges and colleges from guest professors.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Job opportunities for students are okay. Many companies visit the university for students, and many students get good jobs in these companies. The placement process is interesting. Every year, many companies visit for the placement of jobs for students, and many students get selected.

Fully satisfied with everything, faculty members and infrastructure.

Placements: No one got placement from our batch. In our department, they don’t provide any placement. But even without placement, our faculty members were very helpful in everything. They used to help us in everything. Whenever they got information about some job vacancies, they used to inform us.
