It is overall good, but could be better.
Placements: Not yet passed; will give information when passed out; recommended college overall. No package has been given yet. I do not know the top companies for the course. The top package said to be given is 9 lacs. For an internship, you will have to search for yourself. Overall, it is a decent college.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good and is being developed. The quality of food in the hostel is not very good; sports and games could be difficult as the ground is very small, and the campus is also very small. Medical facilities are good.
Faculty: Semester exams are done for this trimester; hopefully they will get good marks, which could be improved. The schedule is hectic but you will get better after college for sure. You will be given good placement after it.
Other: Nice.

Good faculty members and placements.
Placements: The placement department is working and training well. Almost 95% of students got placed. The salary package offered is around 9 LPA - 15 LPA.

Initially not an average college, but eventually working on it.
Placements: We are around 30 students in the batch, as BCA was approved by BCU in 2023. Currently, we haven't been told about the recruiting companies, nor have we started our internship. I am not much sure about the placements, though. All I can say is, it's like going with the flow.
Infrastructure: We have facilities like a Wi-Fi-enabled campus, library, online portals (NDLI and NLIST), labs with the latest systems, and projector rooms. We have separate provisions for sports and the gymnasium. We get studies with sports in the right ratio. The food quality is average. Not much is on the menu list, though.
Faculty: The faculty is the best part of the course. Our sir guides us, believes in us, and provides us with all the study material required according to the exam point of view. Apart from the syllabus, we have value-added courses too. With the study material provided by the teacher, exams appear to be easy.

Average satisfaction because of faculty, placement, internships and good infrastructure.
Placements: Placement is not good in the B.Sc. rehabilitation science, psychology, and sociology department; according to my knowledge, there is 0 placement, but other departments like B.Com. and BCA have average placement. Students from abroad join our college too; it's really a good opportunity to explore and learn a lot.
Infrastructure: Honesty, I wish I could give 0 stars. There are CCTV's everywhere, and the library has course books and novels that are very useful. Other than that, nothing is good about this college. I've been to the lab only in the 1st year; after that, they don't take us to the lab, and practical exposure is very poor. There is NO HOSTEL, and the canteen is affordable, and timings have to be followed. The quality of the food is above average. One very good quality of this college is they help students who need help with the midday meal program (school block as well as college block).
Faculty: It depends on the individual lecturers; some are really good and some just take class for the sake of taking class; no proper internship for psychology; for rehabilitation science, an industrial visit; and 2 internships are provided. Semester exams are quite easy; the pass percentage in our department is around 95-97%. If you are a person who totally depends on faculty, then this college isn't for you. Self-study plays an important role in any college.
Other: This course is one of the best courses that has scope abroad as well as in India. This course teaches various aspects of human mind and body; this is a very necessary course for future India. Campus life was amazing; we have many festivals and intercollegiate competitions and sports meets, awareness programs, inclusive education, and lots of volunteer work that is truly enjoyed by students and facilities. The other departments have the best teachers, placements, and internships. As our department is a growing field right now, placement and internship opportunities are a bit less.
