    Satisfied with placements.
    Placements: Placements are not as strong if compared to TISS. A few good organizations also come like Reliance Foundation, Pradan, Azim Premji Foundation, and FES. Around 90% of people get placed every year. My plan after this course is Ph.D. College provides in-campus and outside-campus internship opportunities. You can get in-campus internships based on your interests and availability. You can earn a good amount for your other expenses. Outside campus, you can also get internships.
    Infrastructure: Hostel rooms are quite decent. Mess food is really bad. Even after so many complaints, I see no change in the quality of the food. The quantity also is not justified as per the price of the food. But staying in the hostel is feasible as the campus is isolated from the city, but you can get a flat on rent at around a 5-6 km radius. Facilities, I feel, there are a few unnecessary luxuries. There is an indoor gym, badminton court, and cricket field.
    Faculty: Many faculty members are either from JNU or have done Ph.D. from abroad. Faculty is really supportive, be it academic or non-academic issues. Their way of delivering lectures is quite different. Overall, my experience with the faculty members has been really good. The curriculum needs a change, I guess. Although it keeps on changing based on the feedback given by students. Some subjects are really great and can be applied on the ground. I must say, the field visits are great.
    Other: I am on a 75% scholarship. I pay around 21,000 every semester for both tuition and accommodation. But, I see that scholarships provided are decreasing every year. And there is a sharp hike in the fee as well.

    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.

    I am absolutely satisfied with the quality of course curriculum, teachers and campus life.
    Placements: Almost 90% of the students got placed from the entire college. The lowest salary package offered is around 3.5 LPA. The highest salary package offered until now was approximately 12 LPA. NGOs like Pradan, SBI Axis Bank and Byju's visit our college for recruitment. It is mandatory to do an internship for students for 6 weeks to have development.
    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.
