Review of Government College, Dharamshala.
Placements: I am enrolled in B.Sc. Honours biotechnology. The placements are not good, as you have to do a master's to get placements in good companies. This course offers research, biotechnologist, forensics, and many varieties of courses once you go for a master's. In Masters you have a variety of career options.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure, especially the biotechnology department, is average. The lab is average, which is the center point of this course, as you have to learn and master the techniques to become a biotechnologist. There are various types of machines available here in the department, but they are old, and some do not work properly. The professors are trying their best to teach the students with what they have and to get the new machines and instruments in the department. The canteen is there in college; it is neat and clean, and the food prepared here is also good in taste and is hygienic. Sports and games are also there. NCC, NSS, and the Rangers and Rovers units are in college. Many NCC cadets from this college are officers in the army, and many cadets have paraded on Rajpath.
Faculty: The professors of the biotechnology department are helpful and highly qualified. They put a lot of effort into teaching the students, even helping students deal with mental pressure. The course is relevant; it makes the students industry-ready, as biotechnology is all about finding the new technologies and techniques that help and make human life easy. The course is annual, and HPU sets the exam. Exams are not too difficult or too easy; they are average.
Other: In biotechnology you have to do a master's. So doing a B.Sc. in Biotechnology from this college is worth it. The fee is not too much; it is affordable. Scholarship is there; many events are organized in the college auditorium. Campus is not crowded.

Average Infrastructure Facilities, Poor Placements, but Good Faculty.
Placements: As my course is B.Sc., hardly any students get placed or get any type of job. The highest package is as high as 3.2 LPA and the least up to 2.1 LPA, but it is very difficult to get placed after B.Sc. Here, hardly any companies visit for this course. No students get any kind of internship. The top role offered in my course is assistant teacher.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is not at all good. Buildings are not maintained from ages. During rain, water comes inside. Labs are quite good, and well-equipped equipment is present. The library is present, and the sitting arrangement is quite good. Hostels are very less; only some students get a hostel. The college has its own mess and canteen, and the quality of food is just fine for eating, not good but not bad. No medical facilities are provided, and sports facilities in college are quite good.
Faculty: Here, some teachers are very good and very helpful at tough times, but some teachers are very bad and have anger issues. Their teaching quality is not so good; they just deliver the lectures. The curriculum is not at all relevant here. Passing the exams is a bit tricky, and students find it difficult to pass the exams. The pass percentage of the college is around 33 percent.
Other: I chose this course because I want to opt for higher education and, for that, to clear out JAM for M.Sc. So I chose this college as it is nearby my home and for time management. For improving this course, a better relevant syllabus and better teachers should be there. Everyday in college, events are happening, and many other extracurricular activities are happening in the college.

Nice college and the view from college is very great but building and infrastructure is very old.
Placements: I think not many students get jobs from that college. Most students who pass from that college continue their PG courses. Some students go for jobs, where I think the lowest package is INR 10k and the highest package is INR 30k or 40k, not more than this.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good at all. I think they need to work on it because the buildings are very old, the classrooms are very old, and the labs are not that good. It is good for sports activities, but the canteen is below average, with bad food, and the facilities are not that supportive.
Faculty: According to me, the teachers are good and helpful, and they are also well-educated and focus on students. However, this is not true of all teachers; some come just to pass the time. Examinations are easy, and there isn't much strictness. The passing percentage requires a minimum of 11 assessments and 28 marks in the exams.

Good environment and good locality.
Placements: 37 percent of students placed in my course. The average package they got is 5 lacs. A local company is engaged in our course. Maybe 49 percent of the students got internships from this course in local companies, and a few of them also got the opportunities to work in famous companies.
Infrastructure: They have good Wi-Fi connections around the campus, but they do not have good lab infrastructure and classrooms in the science department. The food has average quality in the mess and canteen. The rooms have average quality and also have good equipment for sports. The college had organized so many events, which is the best part.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They are very good in teaching . They also help students for the Jobs .The semester exams aren't that easy or difficult; the exam has a moderate difficulty level for those who are regular and put some efforts into their studies. Maybe the 35 percent is the pass percentage.
Other: There is 80 percent scope in this course. After graduation, you can give test for bank , you can do postgraduate work, you can become teacher, and you can do actuarial. The quality of physics teaching should be better and also they should improve lab infrastructure and classroom conditions.

The college is overall quite good, though it's a government college.
Placements: The students were placed on the basis of their merit. No entrance exams were conducted for UG courses. The highest, lowest, and average packages offered in our course depend on one's quota. Job placement and recruitment are yet to be observed as I'm still a fresher.
Infrastructure: The college campus is quite spacious and clean, but the classrooms get overcrowded sometimes. The rest of the college is quite peaceful and is surrounded by trees and plants everywhere. The library is a bit overcrowded sometimes due to the strength of the students.
Faculty: The teachers of the college are quite helpful and qualified. They are knowledgeable and teach well. The only thing that lacks is explanation in English due to the majority of the students opting for Hindi medium. The semester exams are prepared by HPU Shimla.
