Placements: Almost 90% of the students got placed in our course. Most of the students got above 60% marks and got their future in a better way. 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.

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.

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.

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.
