Clean campus including neat washrooms facilities.

Placements: The placement record at this college varies from year to year, depending on the overall economy. In 2010, only two students out of a class of 16 were placed. However, in integrated batches of geology and geophysics, some students were placed in foreign companies such as Schlumberger, Total, Cairn, and BP. Indian companies such as ONGC and Reliance did not hire any students that year. The starting salaries at foreign companies such as Schlumberger were in the range of Rs 15-20 lacs, as were those...

Clean campus including neat washroom facilities.

Placements: In total, a few engineering departments and science departments will have campus placements. In particular about the department of geology, these days campus placement is not available as off-campus job opportunities are huge. Within six months of the course completion, students will be placed in mining, oil and natural gas, research, groundwater, and many more sectors, either by government agencies or by private agencies (ONGC, OIL, CIL, and organisations like NGRI, ISRO, AMD, GSI, NIO, etc.).

The Ambience and the atmosphere. Support for co curricular activities.

Placements: From the third semester, students become eligible for campus selections. There will be nearly 15-20 companies visiting our college only for CSE students. Separate placement drives will be conducted for other branch students. Nearly 80% of the students will be placed in every academic year. Every student is eligible to apply for all the companies. The highest package of our academic year is 20 LPA. My plan after getting a degree is to pursue post-graduation.

The college environment is very good.The faculties are well qualified and the college had a .

Placements: The college does not provide placements. However, there is an exposure for students studied in University college, if you have scored a good mark. If the student needs an internship he/she should do it themselves. The college does not provide any internship opportunities. The course can give you a detailed knowledge about history so that it gives you basic knowledge to become Archeologist, Historian etc.
