My college life has been well-satisfying, and I am pleased with both the degree and the faculty.
Placements: I got admission in the July '23 batch, and there are more than 100 students in my class. I chose a finance specialization. I completed my first year, and after that, we have to do a project in the third semester. Following this, we get placements from top companies like Amazon and Wipro.
Infrastructure: I love the infrastructure of my college. It is quite old, but I really appreciate the environment. The campus is large, and there are hostel facilities available. There are also various sports facilities. On one visit, I explored the whole college and found that students believe the hostel and campus are quite good compared to other colleges.
Faculty: All the faculty members are experienced and knowledgeable in their fields. They teach us very well. I particularly enjoy Narayana Sir's management classes, as he uses practical examples to help us understand the concepts immediately. The curriculum is good, with four semesters in total, and since I am pursuing an online degree, all classes and exams are conducted online.
Other: This is the first batch for the online degree program. We have assignments that must be completed within a specified time to receive internal marks; otherwise, we risk failing the exam. Since it is an online degree, there are no scholarships available for this program.
