    Consider this college as a 2nd or 3rd preference .
    Placements: Placement is the only good thing in this college. Many good companies like KPMG, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, ByJus, and Deloitte come for placements. If you're interested in higher studies, don't join this college or course. Only B.Com (Hons) is worth doing here.
    Infrastructure: The hostel facility is utter nuisance, very unhygienic, very unhealthy and filty. The hostel bathroom clogs water and urine most of the time and is filled with mud. The hostel food is very bad. The library is pretty good and well-equipped with the latest technology.
    Faculty: Professors are very average and tend to make mistakes very often! The professors with Ph.D. degree are supposed to teach the concepts very interestingly but here focus is more on learning than understanding. Semester exams are not challenging at all. If you are from CBSE or ICSE background, the course will be too easy and not challenging.
