College life is hectic, fun, and full of chaos.
Placements: In my B.Com batch, there are 40+ students in one class, and there are two batches. I am in the last year and do not have any experience of placements, but I hear that the placements are good. The top recruiting companies for my course are Mahindra and other similar companies. Almost every student needs to do an internship compulsorily.
Infrastructure: Our college has good facilities and infrastructure with well-maintained labs, classrooms, and other amenities. The college does not have a hostel service. The infrastructure is not so big but is good and well-maintained. It provides better facilities and amenities to students. It includes a well-maintained play area and a program hall.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They help in solving problems easily and assist us in dealing with any issues. The semester exams in the college are not too difficult but moderate. Anyone who is familiar with the course will find them easy. There are even and odd semester patterns, which I think make the students industry-ready.
Other: I chose B. Com because I want to do an MBA after passing out. The course is very flexible and good. The thing I wish would improve about my course is having fewer subjects, as there are more subjects compared to other courses. The campus crowd is very good, and my college is also famous for events and fests. They hold great fests.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and kind about studies. They help students in all ways possible. Faculty members are knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is digital. The course helps students to know about the industry and helps them grow in the industry.
Other: The best thing about the course is that we get to know about the hospitality industry. The one-to-one conversation with the guest helps to build our confidence.

Placements: 50% of students got placed. The average package offered by the college. HDB Finance is the only company in my course that is a top recruiting company. 40% of students only got an internship. Colleges have to focus on attracting top companies for placement. No course is offered by college.
Infrastructure: There are good library and classrooms, but no Wi-Fi in the classrooms. Quality facilities are provided by the college, there's good drinkable water, and basic toilets are also clean. In short, all basic facilities are provided by the college. Medical facilities, sports, and games are there.
Faculty: Helpful and skilled faculty are in college, and along with this, all faculty are very friendly. College conducts difficult semester exams. Students who graduate from this college are ready for the industry.

Decent BCA College with Good Infrastructure, Supportive Faculty & Average Placements.
Placements: Placement is okay but not excellent for BCA. Around 40-50% of students get placed through campus drives. The average package is around 2.5 to 3 LPA, while the highest can go up to 5 LPA. Some top recruiting companies include TCS, Wipro, Infosys, and local startups. Few students get internships in software testing or web development. Roles offered include Junior Developed, Teach Support, and Software Tester.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is quite good. We have well-equipped computer labs, Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, and a digital library that helps a lot with research and assignments. The classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated. As for the hostel, it's clean and has basic facilities like purified drinking water, common rooms, and laundry. The mess food is decent, though repetitive sometimes. There are medical facilities on campus and sports grounds for outdoor games, which are actively used during college fests.
Faculty: Faculty members are supportive and qualified, especially in the programming and computer subjects. They are ready to clear doubts anytime. The curriculum is updated and includes relevant subjects like Python, Java, DBMS, etc., which are important for IT industry jobs. Semester exams are moderate in difficult and if you study well, you can easily pass with good marks. The pass percentage is around 80-85%.
Other: I chose this college because it offers a good BCA course at an affordable fee. One thing I would like to improve is the placement support more companies and better training are needed. I also wish there were more real-time projects or industry collaboration. Overall, it's a safe and good environment to study in.
