Our college does not provide good placements.
Placements: Our university does not provide good placements, but 2 to 3 companies visit here to hire students. Students have to prepare for placements after the 4th-semester exams. The highest salary package is around 2 to 3 LPA, which is not good for MCA. Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc., are some of the companies that provide internships with various roles such as software developer, web developer, software tester, etc. Around 40% of students get internships.
Infrastructure: Our campus is good with beautiful environment. We have 2 libraries. One is a department library, and the other is a central library that issues four books to students. There is a huge sports complex where the university conducts sports events like cricket, football, basketball, volleyball, etc. There are 11 hostels for boys and 13 hostels for girls. The hostel fee is Rs. 13,000 per annum for a single room and Rs. 9500 for sharing. The hostel serves good meals.
Faculty: The ratio of students to teachers is 150 to 6 or 7. Sometimes students have to manage lectures with one teacher. All the faculty members are highly qualified with Ph.D. and master's degrees. Around 2 to 3 teachers are not good in terms of teaching. They never take any classes but expect students to perform well. Every semester has 2 sessional tests.

It has a good campus, good faculty members and a good library.
Placements: My batch is going to pass out in 2022, and still, no placements are provided. I talked with our seniors, but they told me that it does not provide placements. Campus life is good enough. The salary package is mostly offered to B.Tech students. Mostly, BPO companies visit our college for placements. Infosys company visit our college to hire only B.Tech students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Labs are well-equipped. The library is huge, and it has many books. You can visit the library for reading good books. Classrooms are not good as other colleges as it is just university. The canteen here is small as compared to campus.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are decent and knowledgeable. They are very helpful, and they provide all resources. The course curriculum is very old, and it does not meet the present trend. Exams are very easy here. If you study, you will pass the exams
Other: The fee is less here than other colleges. So competition here is hard for colleges. But you can enjoy several fests organised by the college. The campus is huge, and you can easily roam here.

There is good infrastructure and facilities, but I am dissatisfied with faculty members.
Placements: Very few students get placed from our department, or rarely 5-10 students out of 100 students get placed. The lowest salary package offered is nearby 1.2 LPA. Roles like system analyst, programmer, debugger and graphics designer are on the top of demand. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc., conduct off-campus recruitment drives.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi does not work at all here. There is a canteen nearby where food can be easily available. Classrooms are good with lights and electric fans. In few classrooms, there are projectors. The library is occupied with almost all the required books, which can be provided to students without any fines.
Faculty: Teachers are not good here, and even staff members are very rude. Non-teaching staff members behave like they are teaching faculty members. The chairperson is good. The course is very relevant to students. You will get to know about HTML, Java, Python, C+ and many more computer languages. In the Covid-19 pandemic, only a few teachers taught well, while others teach for formality. Female teachers never teach properly, and they don't have any knowledge regarding the course.
Other: I am fond of computers, and I love to learn new languages and want to learn everything about computers. An annual fest is organised on the campus, but at a college level, there is not any fest. Scholarships are provided to eligible students as per government criteria. If faculty members and non-teaching staff members improve their service, then it would be great.

So I cannot say about the facilities provided in the hostel.

If any of the books are not available in our department library, and Jawaharlal Nehru central library is also available in the university for the students. I'm not a hosteler, so I don't know about the facilities of the hostel.
Faculty: Teachers here are helpful, qualify and knowledgeable. They are qualified with a PhD degree. They have their own assistant, and they assist them in teaching the students in the same way as they do, which is a good practice to make assistant good enough for teaching students. This course curriculum is relevant for students to make them industry-ready.

Having a BA without geography as a subject may restrict one's eligibility for an M.Sc. in geography. For entrance, most colleges demand a relevant background in geography. However, precise qualifying requirements can change, so it's important to confirm with the university of choice.
