The college had good placements and good environment.
Placements: Almost 99% of students got placements with good salary packages. The state rural livelihoods mission organisation, as well as a big CSR organisation come for placements. About 100% of students got internships. The lowest salary offered is Rs.25000 per month. In our course, most students took livelihood and health.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure were awesome at this university. In the library, you could find almost all the books related to the course, internship,s or research. The hostel was too good. The food was awesome. You will get 4 times food which includes evening snacks too. You could find all the sports equipment to play with and the coach help you to learn sports. You could also go to a sports tournament.
Faculty: The teachers at our university were too good and helped us to understand the topic from the basics. Once you have given attention in class then no need to study again for exams as professors used us to give assignments. By doing assignments, you will be getting easy understanding of the given topic which can help you in exams. There was no difficulty in the semester exams and there were grading marks. Almost every student passed with no tension of passing marks.
Other: I choose this course because as we know, in India, livelihood, and education is the biggest problem. If people are educated then he/ she is employed, so my scope was to learn how we can bring livelihood scope to group of people so that others can be motivated and unemployment could be decreased. Every year Unmukt is celebrated where a huge crowd can be seen. All the festivals are celebrated by student council.

Infrastructure: Currently, our university provides hostel only for girls. However, after 3 years, a 40-storeyed hostel will be ready for both boys and girls. The study room is available in the hostel, and the hostel provides a Wi-Fi facility for students. There is a dedicated library with access to various magazines, articles, etc., for free of cost, which is good.
Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and friendly. Azim Premji University has one of the top faculty members. Most of the sessions are interactive, which makes learning fun and interesting. The course curriculum is updated every year to make it useful.
