There is no placement in past years. And I am highly dissatisfied.

Placements: No students were placed in my course. Not a single student got an internship even companies are not coming. There are no top roles offered in my course. Students can apply for NGOs if they are interested. Students should also do internships in companies.

Our college is good for B.Com course, and you can score a high percentage in academics.

Placements: I suggest you do not take admission in this college if you want to get placed as placement record is not so good here. Our college is good for only some courses like dairy engineering, etc. If you plan to do M.Com or MBA, then you can join here as it will be best for you to prepare for your PG while studying.

At least, I got good environment.

Placements: The placements in the college were not bad, but not up to what we were looking for because some companies were not friendly. I can't say about the percentage because I can't reveal college's information, and according to me, not even half were placed. Many companies have not visited the college, and some were not helpful.

Average college with average placement but good education and good faculty members.

Placements: Placement for seniors was quite good but this year we didn't got any placement. Previously the placement was better than now and students use to get better packages but now day by day it has been greatly degraded and reduced to negligible don't know what's happening with the administration.

Add new subject like PHP, EDP, and personality development.

Placements: I am not selected through campus interview, but some of my friends got selected, and some friends gave a donation to the company for training. Mostly candidate percentage chose lies between 75 to 99 percent. The average salary offered was Rs. 15,000. IT companies have visited the campus which is based on Lucknow and Allahabad.

Consider this college as your last option, don't keep it as your first option.

Placements: The placement is not something which the college focus on. Even though some good companies show up, but overall placement is not something a person can rely on. They do not notify much about the placement, which is one of the reasons and the people are not aware of placements.

An average college with average placement.

Placements: The placement is not very good. It's below average, and only very few companies visit the college. Very few department students get placed. Previously, the placement was good, but now, in the recent years, it has degraded a lot. Now students are very unhappy, and admissions also have reduced.

In terms of college life, the college is good, but in terms of studies, at least don't choose BBA.

Placements: The placements of the college were very bad and unsatisfying. They placed me in a company named Bucks and Gainer, and that company was a complete fiasco. The management of the company was a total fraud, and they lied about the salary also. The working hours were also not as per the norms. The college didn't cross-check the company's profile which was very important.

There is no guarantee for placement.

Placements: No placement facilities are available in the university. No companies arrive at the college for placement purposes. No placements have been done from the college for the last five years (from 2010). Not only in this course but also in courses like B.tech (all branches) and B.Sc, there are no placements from the last 5 to 6 years.

Partially satisfied because of the null placements.

Placements: There are no such placement facilities. No company came yet for placements. Earlier it was good for placement, but now there are no placements. 8.5 cgpa is necessary for placements. The highest package 4-5lakh per annum.for agriculture, food technology and dairy technology, companies like WKC, Infosys etc. come. This year TCS also came for engineers.

Overall, the college is good if you just need the degree.

Placements: The placement was not good. Many of the students went for the higher studies. 15% student got placed. Hardly 5 to 7 companies visited the campus for the placement. The placement cell is poor. The minimum salary offered is Rs. 6,000 and the maximum offered is around Rs. 15,000 per month. 5% students got an internship at the college. Usually, they don't offer any. The minimum stipend offered is Rs. 2,000 and the maximum offer is Rs. 4,000 per month.

Describe your college to someone who has never heard of it. You know your college best and know what's important - faculty, placement, infrastructure. Talk about the good, the bad and the missing. You could also write about what's interesting - eating joints, the student crowd, college fests. And anything else that you think prospective students need to know.

If anyone who just want degree with good marks or wants to learn by their own without depending on the faculty then this college is the best. Placement is very bad here. Most of the Professors only reads books in the class like we can't do so at home, they are horrible in teaching. But few are very good and knowledgeable. I enjoyed their more than I learned.

I am disappointed with the placements.

Placements: There are no placements at all in our college. None of the companies visits here for B.Com students, so I suggest you not to take admission here just for placements. Our college didn't provide internships to any student. Placements are good for biotech engineering and dairy tech, and for these courses, this institute is famous.

I am satisfied with the college till 2016.

Placements: Placements in our college are average if you maintain the average of 60% in all the semesters, matriculation, and intermediate examinations. Only the top 20 students would get a salary package of 2 LPA. The rest of the students will not get placed that well as they failed to secure that minimum eligibility for most of the companies.

Only few of the faculties are expert.

Placements: There is very less chance of direct placement in companies. Around only 30% are placed every year. You have to do everything by yourself. The level of education is very low, as the only cover up the formalities and nothing else. The condition of internship is very poor, so students are avoiding to get internship from here.
