Dissatisfied in campus placements.
Placements: More placements are to be conducted. Many schools and colleges are visiting for placements. Pharma companies are yet to visit. Till now, Pfizer and Divis companies have approached, and some aqua companies also visited the college. They are selecting the best of all. Overall, the campus recruitments are not satisfactory.
Infrastructure: Lab facilities and library facilities are good. There is a good environment to explore ourselves. The quality of labs still needs to be improved. The quality of food available in our canteen is good. The hostel rooms in AU are not up to the mark and need to be improved.
Faculty: Teaching staff are very helpful, very supportive, well-knowledgeable and highly qualified. We are not getting any industry exposure. The teaching methods include power point presentations and few faculty use blackboard. Teaching staff are good.
Other: Events are very well organized.
