There is pressure for classes and semesters, but hostel management and campus environment are good.

Placements: Basically, we got admission in the Mathematics department of Viva Bharati University in 2021, during the lockdown because of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, because I was an internal candidate, I got admission based on my H.S. marks. In our batch, there are 40 students in the UG section. We have to pay Rs 6500/- (for SC candidates) for admission. We received a scholarship (SVMCM) of Rs 18000/- for scoring 80% in HS and 60% in semesters. After passing out, a few of our batchmates got admission i...

Good faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: If we talk about foreign languages, then after becoming fluent in a language, one can easily get opportunities in any multinational company. In the field of Hindi, one option is to become a teacher of this subject, and apart from that, becoming a professor is also a good career choice.

Overall, best university for M.Sc. in botany course.

Placements: Most of the students got jobs in top multi-national companies. Last year, the highest salary offered was around 23 LPA by Microsoft. The average number was also high. Top recruiting companies were NCBS, CMFRI, IISc, etc. Many students were offered full-time jobs and work in a variety of supporting roles. Top jobs were botanist, plant taxonomist, and so on.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with this university.

Placements: 18% of students get placed in my course. The highest package is 3 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. The average package is 1.5 LPA in my course. The top recruiting companies of my course are the State Bank of India, non-government organisation, etc.

I am absolutely satisfied with its academic curriculum and cultural aspects.

Placements: Honestly, there are no placement offers for history students at the undergraduate level. But in other departments like Economics and Languages, there are placement chances with fair packages. As far as I know about my course, which is History Honors, there's no official campus placement. Obviously, students can go out and search for internships and jobs, but at the college level, there are no provisions for placement in the History department.

Shade of history department of Viva Bharati.

Placements: There is no placement in courses like history. But pass-out students have good careers in other fields also. In previous years, companies provided internships. Few like Wipro, etc. You can prefer this college as it is good in academics. The rest depends upon how you adapt to this college.
