Right place for a bright career.

Placements: According to College Deep, the placement of students is one hundred percent, but according to me, only 16% of students got placed in good company. The highest package is 46 Lacs. Whereas the average package is 3 to 4 Lacs in the course. The top recruiting companies are TCS, Wipro, HCL, and Sectra, and there was fewer opportunities for internships.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good. Wi-Fi is there, labs are there, classrooms are fully air-conditioned, and there is a library. The canteen is also good. The food in the hostel is average, and the facilities are good. Various sports and games are held regularly.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and the quality of teaching is good. Yes, this course is very relevant, and it makes us industry-ready. The level of exams is average. Almost 70 to 80 percent of students pass, and in exams, the questions are based on what they teach in our classes.

Good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: The university provides great placement opportunities. The highest package, 11 lakhs, and the lowest, approximately 3 or 4 lakhs, were given to the students of the course B.Com (Honours). A quite well number of students are selected from the university by the top recruiting companies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the department and hostel is quite good. All the facilities are provided to the students in the hostel as well as the department. Mess food is okay, and there are many canteens in the university and hostels as well. Gym areas and sports are also there.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and are experienced for their job. The semester exams are moderately difficult. The teachers are very humble and helpful. They prepare the students for the fields like accounting, finance, business, and management, etc.

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.

Life of a student in GNDU.

Placements: Being a new admission here, I really don't know much about placement. But in my department, the board of placement given to the previous year was that the highest placement was 11 Lacs per annum and the lowest was 3.5 to 4 Lacs per annum just for 1 department, I don't know much about other departments.

Infrastructure: Our University infrastructure is good, not much advanced, not much bad. We haven't been taken to any computer lab or any that place, otherwise, it's good. And the hostel is good too but the rooms are so small. Like, for a 2-person room, there is only one almirah and no place to keep things, clothes, and all.

Faculty: Our faculty teachers are good, not bad, but there in our department, there are 2-3 teachers that I don't like much because of their behavior towards people. Like one teacher doesn't allow students to enter into a class but is late, like just 2-3 minutes and one teacher just used to shout all the time.

Other: There are a lot of extra activities going on in here to participate in. Like it's a university in Punjab, every other day something is going on in here, like a youth fest in every other department.

Appealing infrastructure and suitable environment for students.

Placements: Our course has 200 placements for students, and this course provides study for civil services examination. Our course is offered at 30,000 per annum. Students can get internships from the course. The top roles in the course are IAS, IPS, IRS, IFS, and many more.

Infrastructure: The university provides good infrastructure like Wi-Fi and computer labs in classrooms. There is a big library on the university campus, and the quality of the facilities provided in the hostel is very good. The food is also good for the students, and there are lots of cafeterias for students on the campus. There is a health center, a gymnasium, and game grounds like badminton ground, hockey ground, etc.

Faculty: The faculty in our university is very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good as per my knowledge and experience. The faculty in the social sciences department and the architecture department are very good, and the course curriculum is so relevant in today’s society. The semester exams in the university are not difficult, and the pass percentage is 35%.

Other: I chose this course as a preparation for the civil exams, and the best thing about my course is that it covers all the syllabus according to the civil exams. The thing I wish could be better in my course is more practical knowledge. Other than that, events and fests in the university campus are very good. There are annual youth festivals in which different colleges take part, and that is very beneficial for the students.
