There are a lot of student-run societies that help in holistic development.
Placements: College provides PBL (Project-Based Learning) activities in groups, which is innovative but useless. Internships are not provided completely; if you want an internship, you have to find it yourself. But if you are skilled enough, the college can help you out. The stipend for the internship is around 6-15 thousand. The role of the internship depends on your branch and your skill and experience in that particular field.
Infrastructure: The campus life is very vibrant and full of activities. There are various fests like INIZIO for the freshers and COMMFIESTA, which is conducted by the commerce department. There are mainly 2 libraries in the college, and both of them have various books and journals. The sports facility is also pretty good, and there are various sports like football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, cricket, track and field, etc. There are more than 20 societies, and each one of them is student-run, focusing on different things. The societies range from social entrepreneurship to e-sports to music and dance. The classrooms are spacious, and all the classrooms are equipped with projectors. The labs are also in great shape. There are also 2 NGOs within the college.
Faculty: The faculty is open-minded and friendly, but once you *** them off, your internals are gone. They will take revenge, taunt you, and spread *** about you to students as well as staff. Exams are mediocre, but you have to study hard. Some subjects are very tough.

I was not very satisfied with the faculty. Course is good but needs improvement.
Placements: There were no placements provided for our batch. Our batch was the first ever batch in M.A Economics. There was no internship programme for our batch either. However, the department tried hard to get students placed, but things didn't work out as wished. Recent batches have managed to get some offers.
Infrastructure: Classroom facilities are good on the campus. We had proper projectors, boards, tables and computers for the course. But, we were provided a lab was as a classroom. It would have been better if we were given a proper classroom. The library does not have required books for the course.
Faculty: Faculty members in the college are average. There are newbies with less or no experience teaching the masters course. However, two of the faculty members were amply experienced which was reflected in their teaching. The course was basic and has much scope for improvement. But the course has certain sections that are very interesting.

The infrastructure of the college is good.
Placements: The M.A in economics is a new course in GGSIPU. We didn't get any internships from the college because, at that time, there was no placement cell. The placement cell of the college has started, and it's working well. The college has been successful in inviting some companies on our campus for our course. So, if you take the admission for this course, you have to work by yourself for placements and internships. Don't expect much from the department.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is really nice. The classrooms are clean and air-conditioned. The college provides a Wi-Fi facility. The library is amazing. The medical room is far from college buildings. There is a very big ground for games. Canteen is just fine there, and quality of the food offered is not that good. However, I love the Thali available in canteen. There are Amul, Nescafe, and Healthy Chulha available on the campus.
Faculty: The faculty members are fine there. It's improving year by year. The university prescribes the course, and teachers follow the course structure. They might give you some extra research papers to read. Teachers are helpful there, but they lack experience. You have to study on your own at the end.

Q:   Is B.A. LL.B. (Hons) at GGSIPU worth the investment?

A: 
{Source: B.A. LL.B. (Hons) students & alumni}

Based on the reviews and feedback from students and alumni, here's a summary:

* Placement Cell: The placement cell is active, but placements are not very encouraging. Most students opt for individual advocacy or small law firms, offering average salaries ranging from INR3-INR4 Lacs per annum. Top roles offered are those of a legal associate, with some students securing internships with renowned law firms.
* Faculty: Teachers are generally knowledgeable, but some may lack enthusiasm. The permanent faculty members are helpful and supportive, while guest lecturers from the field bring valuable industry experience.
* Infrastructure: The college has modern infrastructure, including air-conditioned classrooms, a dedicated law library, and Wi-Fi-enabled premises. Hostels are comfortable, with single occupancy rooms and decent food facilities.
* Extracurricular Activities: The college organizes various events, fests, and seminars, providing opportunities for students to develop their skills and interests.
* Campus Life: The campus is lively, with a mix of students from diverse backgrounds. The location in Sector 16, Dwarka, is convenient, with easy access to public transportation and amenities.

However, some concerns were raised regarding:

* Teaching Pedagogy: Some students felt that the teaching method was traditional and lacked innovation, making learning less engaging.
* Curriculum: While the curriculum is relevant, some students believed it didn't prepare them adequately for the industry.
* Internship Opportunities: Although some students secured internships, others reported limited opportunities and irregularity in payment structures.

Overall, whether or not the B.A. LL.B. (Hons) programme at GGSIPU is "worth the investment" depends on individual goals and expectations. For those seeking a strong theoretical foundation and willing to pursue individual advocacy or smaller law firms, the programme may be suitable. However, for those looking for higher-paying jobs or extensive internship opportunities, alternative options may be more beneficial.

Q:   Is M.E./M.Tech at GGSIPU a good choice?

A: 
{Source: M.E./M.Tech students & alumni}

Based on the reviews and comments from students and alumni, here's a summary of what they think:

Pros:

* Good placements: Many students reported getting placed in top companies, with average salaries ranging from 10-12 LPA and the highest packages going up to 45 LPA.
* Decent infrastructure: Students appreciated the college's infrastructure, including the library, labs, and hostels, saying they are well-maintained and offer a comfortable environment for studying.
* Helpful faculty: While some teachers may not be enthusiastic about teaching, many students praised their knowledge and willingness to help with queries.
* Festivals and events: Reviewers mentioned that the college has a lively campus life, with regular festivals and events, including Anugoonj, which attracts a large number of visitors.

Cons:

* Teaching quality: Some students felt that the teaching quality could be improved, citing instances of unengaged teachers or difficulty in grasping certain concepts.
* Limited hands-on experience: A few reviewers mentioned that the course lacks practical exposure, with some students feeling that they didn't get enough opportunities to apply what they learned in real-world scenarios.
* High expectations vs reality: Some students expressed disappointment due to mismatched expectations regarding placements, curriculum, or faculty engagement.

Verdict: Based on the mixed feedback, it seems that M.E./M.Tech at GGSIPU has its strengths and weaknesses. While students appreciate the good placements, infrastructure, and helpful faculty, there are concerns about teaching quality and limited hands-on experience. Ultimately, whether M.E./M.Tech at GGSIPU is a good choice depends on individual preferences and priorities.
