    Faculty: Faculty members were well trained in their field, and they were very helpful to cope with the course. They were good at imparting the best quality knowledge. The course curriculum was very flexible to provide not just theoretical, but also practical knowledge in the best way possible.
    Other: I opted for this course, because of my interest in literature and the English language, and even love writing poetries therefore I wanted to explore the possibilities of the course. The events and fests were very interesting and indulging and they were very entertaining.

Almost 10% of the students scored high percentage and got a chance of future studies. Students are inspired to see the top students on the college book that renews every year.
    Infrastructure: The college provides a brief subject line to choose according to students interesting subjects. There are big classrooms where students can freely interact with lecturers. There are 13 hostels in the university, and hostel canteen and medical facilities are available easily.
    Faculty: Our college teachers are helpful and polite to students. The teaching process is very good. If you focus on the lectures and put some effort into studying, then semester exams are very easy. Above 80% of the students passed the exams.
    Other: I have chosen this course because the BA course provides me with future studies like PG, MA and some master degrees. I think the curriculum requires a change as it helps students to get jobs. The university conducts a lot of events, and the campus is like a family. Students got scholarships with their efforts and also with college help.

    I am satisfied with our university achievements.
    Placements: Almost 50% of our batch got placed in our course. The salary offered is Rs. 50,000 per month and the minimum salary offered is Rs. 20,000 per month. Companies like Indian Oil and Paradeep Phosphates Limited offered jobs. Assistant manager job is offered to the students. Almost 30% of the students of the batch got an internship. So we are settled freely in our job.
    Infrastructure: The college provides Wi-Fi, table, chair, desk, fridge, a library with 2000 books, hostel with 250 rooms and 90 classrooms. There are a practical lab and a big gallery for events. However, these facilities are continuing since 18 years. There is a big playground for sports.
    Faculty: There are 20 teachers. They are very good in the college environment. They are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is best to understand. The course offered is the best, and our students get knowledgeable due to this. The university is very good for studying.

    Satisfied with faculty, good teachers, really good ambiance to study, provides books and many other.
    Placements: A general Bachelorette degree was provided, no recruiting companies because it was a Bachelorette course, there was no internship because we were from literature background and literature background doesn't hold any internships. English literature being a subject where you would be able to know about the pre historical and post historical events that took place during the development of the world literature, we had submitted projects based on our subjects at the end of the Bachelor's degree.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructures are good, no hostel facilities are available, there is no canteen inside the campus, you could take part in any curricular activities as per your interest, many sports and games are available there is a basketball court and well provided aids and amenities too.
    Faculty: Yes, the teachers were well qualified, knowledgeable and were helpful during our course of studies, regular classes were being taken and seminars were being done. Maybe not because only a Bachelorette degree doesn't suffices any students specifications.
    Other: I did choose this course because I had an interest in knowing about the literature, it entices me and I feel good while gaining any sorts of knowledge that might of great use in future be it during my Masters or any other job fields. The course of study is bit extra with lesser time for the preparation for the semesters and hence one might get jumbled and paranoid for the heavy course books that one has to swallow.

    Infrastructure: As it is a top university in Odisha, the infrastructure is the best. It is located in Bhubaneswar. Many colleges are affiliated to this university. The campus has a huge academic building. Open Wi-Fi facility is also available. Digital classrooms are available. A huge playground is available to play sports. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. Medical facilities are good.
    Faculty: The faculty in our college are very good. They teach the students very well and clear all their doubts, for a better understanding of the students. A good number of teachers must be present so that the teaching process goes well. Teachers are highly qualified. Many teachers are present for all the courses. They give their best to make the students understand the concepts.
    Other: Many festivals are organised in the university every year. All the students from Irish participate in the events. Annual sports are organised between the universities of Odisha, by the government of Odisha. Many students get scholarships from the government.

    Absolutely satisfied with my course.
    Placements: Actually B.A. is general course. In this no placement is there, not in our college nor in other college. We have to apply for jobs with relevant to our course. If we generally look in this matter and get a job with this course then the average package will be 2.5 lacs around and the highest package will be 3 lakh and lowest package will be 2 lacs. As I told you there is no recruitment in this course as you have to apply with your own which field you want to go with it i.e teaching line or company jobs. Nearly all students get their internships from our college. It provides a specific honors subject with which you can do master degree later.
    Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is pretty good from all other government colleges. There is specific department for specific courses so no one will be in doubt where to go. Classrooms are neat and clean generally compared to other government colleges. Library facilities are available for each department. Our hostels are also sanitized hostel as compared to other hostels in our area. Food is really better than any other hostel. There is a hospital in our college campus such that if someone is in trouble can go to that hospital. Sports and games facilities are all available in our campus area. All types of sports can be played in our campus.
    Faculty: The faculty members of our college are very friendly and they are very helpful in the case if you are in trouble. All our faculty members are highly qualified and they are hired on state government basis. And their teaching is far better from any other teachers.
    Other: Actually I was fond of going to civil services so I choose this line as it will be easier and I will get ample amount of time to prepare for this. Our course is better I think so. So no need of any sort of improvement because it has vast course. Many events such as annual function, department function, farewell and welcome takes place with that sports event and many more events do conduct.
