Good and decent University for study.

Placements: In Himachal Pradesh University Shimla placement of the student rate is approximately 50% of the students are placed in a batch fit the highest package of 4 to 4.5 Lacs and average package will be the 2.5 and the average package with him to years is also decreased by 2 and 2.5 Lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: To hostels and sports facilities decent in the Himachal Pradesh University not very well maintained but its average and faculty and the hostel will only allocate to those students who are selected in merit list due to shortage of postal rooms in Himachal Pradesh University.

Faculty: The quality of education in Himachal Pradesh is decent not very well and not very bad it's totally on your site how you want to study in the class or in library the classes are not that much mandatory to be attend it's very good environment for study.

Himachal Pradesh university.

Placements: Total no. The number of students in our batch was 120, but almost 10–12 got campus placement. The campus placement cell was not good like at other universities. There are a total of three or four small companies from Chandigarh that usually come for placement.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are good, but they do not provide good infrastructure for students in terms of technical knowledge, whereas other departments provide very good facilities in terms of education. You can go yourself, take the university entrance exam, and get admission.

Faculty: Exams and faculty are good, but the technical platform is not good enough for students. But universities have a very good environment for students in terms of climate, infrastructure, and any other activity. The students are very helpful to each other if you go by what you see.

Other: I do not criticise anyone, but I do provide information about what I see in my department; on the other hand, other departments are excellent, and anyone can come to the university and see the environment.
