Affordable for students from weaker sections of society.

Placements: Placement options were quite good for IT department. Placement percentage was approximately 5%-10%. Companies in which students were placed include TCS, Infosys, and some local companies like OverIT, Grow by 10, etc. Top roles offered include system administration, website development, support executive, IT coordinator, etc.

Infrastructure: Facilities we have hostel and mess were just fine, but canteen facilities have improved a lot in recent years. Infrastructure in the IT department was really good. Labs were well-equipped. There was smart class facility. Paid Wi-Fi was available for students.

Faculty: The faculty of our college was amazing. Teachers were very helpful and motivating. This course was really useful for students who do not want to spend a lot on pursuing courses like B.Tech CS but are interested in this field. Semester exams were as per GNDU syllabus. Difficulty level of the exams was average.

Other: I chose this course as I had a lot of interest in this field. I had already done freelancing in website development and wanted to learn more. I could not spend a lot on my fees, so I pursued this course. It would have been better if the syllabus was updated to the latest technology. They were a lot of events that kept happening in our college, like the annual youth fest, Gyan Ganga, inter-college quizzes, and all the students were given an equal chance to participate.

Amazing faculty but not satisfied with the placement options.

Placements: As for the Commerce department, there aren't many placement options except the local companies like Lally Motors, Paras Valve, etc. But if you are looking for an institution that could provide deep knowledge of the curriculum, it would be a great option, and also there are a lot of scholarships for the underprivileged students, so it would be a great match for you then.

Infrastructure: The canteen facility is really good. It has improved a lot in the recent years. The hostel rooms are a bit costly as you have to pay the hostel and mess fees even when you are on vacation. The sports facilities are quite good. There is badminton, a volleyball court, and coaches. There is also a swimming pool that is open for both males and females at separate timings, but these facilities are not complimentary but paid.

Faculty: The faculty members of this college are really good. The teachers are well qualified and very helpful. I have done my graduation from the same college. They have helped me a lot throughout the session. The semester exams contain 70% of the total syllabus. The pass percentage is the same as the final exams, and also you have to pay a fine if you do not pass the house examinations.

Other: There are a lot of events that keep happening in the college, and everyone is given the same chance to volunteer for the events. One such event is "Gyan Ganga," where the school students are invited to college to participate in various events, and all the departments have to guide the children through various types of courses they can enroll in as per their interests. And also, Doaba College offers a 20% scholarship to students who score above 80% in the final examination.

Review of Sant Singh Sukha Singh College of Commerce for Women.

Placements: Our college has 387 students, and 93 were shortlisted, and 39 students were successfully placed in SBI Life, HDFC Life, and Byju's. The highest package is 5 lacs pa, the average is 3 lacs pa, but the lowest is according to skills and performance. 40% of students got internships in companies such as Wipro, Mahindra, and HDFC. Top companies are the same as the above-mentioned. Financial analyst, digital marketing associate, junior accountant, etc. are the top roles offered.

Infrastructure: In classrooms, we have projectors and audiovisual systems. Labs have good internet connections in computer labs. The library is a quite area for students to read books. In our college, no hostel food is okay, and the canteen is not too great. Medical facilities are available, and in other activities, our college is in the number 1 position, like a showoff.

Faculty: Teachers are not helpful. They were hiring our college students as teachers. The course is not yet relevant. I want more added skills in our curriculum. The teacher's motive is just to complete the syllabus and do no revision at all. My percentage is 75%.

Other: I think there are more opportunities according to B.Com regular. Subjects are too difficult; please cancel some subjects. Yes, all activities are organized here.

Our college does not provide very good placements but has the best culture and food.

Placements: The salary packages are very low. Most of them got placed for sales and insurance with a salary of Rs. 20,000 per month. The lowest salary offered is Rs. 8,000 per month.

Wi-Fi is available but does not give the best experience. The departmental library is very good. The main library of the university is very good. It has thousands of books on different subjects. The canteen food is good, but the mess food is not very good. Hostel rooms are good. Sports and games are the best. NCC and NSS are also available. There is a swimming pool, cycling track, and proper infrastructure for many games like basketball, gymnastics, cycling, etc. There is a hospital and a medical center at our university. Our university provides a test facility for free for students.

Faculty: Most of the teachers for UG courses are Ph.D. students. They have great knowledge and always help students when they need them. Our professors are Ph.D. holders. They teach difficult courses. The knowledge I got from the curriculum is very relevant but I won't say that it makes students industry-ready. Exams are not very difficult if students focus and study well. The passing percentage is around 75%.

Other: B.Com is a standard course. I went to GNDU for its infrastructure and events. There are events and fests in our college. Pooja is performed from time to time. The best part is the cultural event which happens every year. It truly represents our culture, stories, and many more. For this, I recommend joining our university.

My university is one of the best.

Placements: There is a very good percentage of students who were placed in my course, but actually, the subjects in the course are highly recommended for UPSC. The syllabus of the course is updated according to the syllabus of UPSC by the department, and self-development, discipline, and decision-making are also taught in this department.

Infrastructure: There are a lot of canteens on the campus and a huge library with internet connectivity. The library contains more than 25,000 books and a reading hall which is air-conditioned. Students can sit and prepare notes there calmly without any interruptions because the environment there is very quiet. There are lots of sports being taught and played in the university.

Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and educated and are very helpful and knowledgeable about their subject. The way they teach is excellent and makes things easy to understand with their examples, which helps students to grab things more easily. There are 8 semesters in this course, and 75% attendance is needed.

Other: I have to pursue UPSC after my degree, so I chose this course, and the subjects in the course are highly recommended for UPSC. There are lots of events happening in the university by each department, and a huge crowd appears to attend them.

Almost Satisfaction and the worst Experience of this college.

Placements: Honestly, not much placements are offered in this college, especially for our course B.Sc. In computer Science). Only about 2-3 courses will be there in our college which get placements continuously I. e B.Com BCA BBA etc. The placements are offered by less known companies and packages are also average or sometimes below average.

Infrastructure: If we talk about the infrastructure of our course, then I would say it is the worst. Emphasis is given only on theoretical studies. No one care about practical experience there. Scheduling of our all the lectures of the course is even worse. Now if we talk about the hostels of our college, then feels is higher with poor infrastructure.

Faculty: Only about 2% of the faculty of our college is helping towards the students otherwise rest of the faculty generally don't care about students. For the preparation of the upcoming exams, house tests ( MST - mid semester tests ) have been organised every semester, which is pretty good idea for the preparation of exams.

Other: Honesty I made a mistake by choosing this course in this college. The worst thing is the schedule and timings of our lectures of this course. It becomes very tough for the students who come to college from far away. They always miss their lectures just because of the poor schedule of the course.
