    It is the best college for economics students.
    Placements: The placement cell is active but it provides average placements for top scores. Maximum students have to reach out on their own to the companies. So the highest salary package offered is 14 LPA in past years and the average salary package offered ranges from 5-6 LPA. There are no restrictions on internships, so students can participate in that.
    Infrastructure: Facilities are normal and basic. The infrastructure is average for me. There are no huge playgrounds and courts. Or classrooms are good but do not have air-conditioners in them. Wi-Fi was recently upgraded there. It has a huge library with only economic books. Canteen food is hygienic.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. They provide notes and clear doubts both offline and online. But have some grudges for some students. The course curriculum is relevant. It helps to improve the skills of students. Semester exams are of moderate level and we have to study hard to pass them.

    Best senior-junior relationship! There's no hierarchy, and everybody is just so friendly and helpful
    Placements: After the 8th semester, students are eligible for campus placements. Companies like Sumul and Atul visit for placements, and I do not know much more about the placements because I am new. The placement percentage seems a bit low from what I have seen. Companies offering internships at Sitarambhai Naranji Bhai Patel Institute of Technology and Research Center are not known to me because I am still learning about the institute, but it may be Sumul and GEB.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good; it's not very big, but enough! The buildings are old, but they are maintained so well that they don't seem old. Campus life is also great with friendly seniors, cooperating batchmates, and there is also a sense of girl power (girls supporting girls), which is one of the best things at LSR.
    Faculty: The faculty members are superb and are always ready to help students with studies or any other problems. They are probably the best faculty I have ever seen. There is not a single faculty member I didn’t like, and the exams are moderate and sometimes easy, but not too difficult.
