    Everything is good except for placements and salaries provided in this course.
    Placements: In our course, there are 36 students in a batch. Last year the salary of Rs. 25,000 per month was offered in placements. Only 11 students out of 36 students got placements. In the final semester, UPRLM gives placements in our college. Due to the COVID-19, internships were not conducted at all last year.
    Infrastructure: Our campus provides a Wi-Fi facility. As it is social work college, there is no lab as labs are not required in our course. Well-maintained classrooms are available with a seminar hall also for self-study. A well-maintained library facility is provided. Better quality food is provided to us in the mess. It is an eco-friendly campus.
    Faculty: Teaching staff members here are very helpful as they provide us with study materials. They are well qualified and are much knowledgeable. The teaching quality is best in our college. Teaching staff members are very supportive in nature and are always available for us to help.
    Other: I want to make my career as a psychologist counsellor, and this is a professional course. So, I opted for it.
