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.

Nice, and supportive for future goals.
Placements: Above 60 percent were placed. The average package was 7.9 LPA. The highest package was 51 LPA. Based on performance, there will be classes for training for placement and guest lectures for us to understand how it will be as corporate life, and presentations.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was nice and in good condition. All classrooms have LED TVs, Wi-Fi facilities, and the labs contain nearly 50-60 computers. The library has a large volume of books. The hostel will be provided by the college, but it's your choice where to stay; most people prefer PGs.
Faculty: Yes, the faculty was friendly and supportive. There are more industrial visits. It's 2 years with 6 semesters, each semester having 2 midterms. The exams will not be that difficult, but when the exams start, there will be continuous exams. The pass percentage is 50.
Other: I chose a major in Marketing and a minor in Business Analytics, according to my career options.

Welcome to the International Institute of Business Study.
Placements: The highest salary package offered is 6 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. Recruiting companies are Zomato, Flipkart, Amazon, IMBS, and many software companies. Top recruiting course is marketing and most internships are provided in this specialization. Roles offered are managers and executive managers, etc.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is too good with academic buildings, sports facilities, cafeteria and dining area, amphitheater, and computer lab. Students are provided with laptops with many conditions, transportation facilities, etc. But I am not staying in hostel, so I don't know about hostel.
Faculty: Faculty members are great. They are very approachable and helpful. They are knowledgeable, experienced, have great credentials, patience, and friendly behavior. They always clear doubts and pay attention to every student. They encourage students to actively participate in class and other activities.
Other: We have had many fests organized and trips. The best so far was the adventure learning program. We went to Ramnagar and stayed there overnight in tents and participated in various adventure sports. The best thing about this course is that they clock the campus so students cannot leave campus. Attendance should be above 75% or else we cannot attend exams.

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.
