I am dissatisfied with the seniors.
Placements: Amex, Nielsen, and Centrum visited our campus to recruit students. The role offered by the companies were wealth analyst and data analyst. The highest salary offered is 1 LPA. The lowest salary offered is Rs. 10,000 per month. About 10% of students got an internship in our course in companies like Amex, Centrum and Nielsen.
Infrastructure: I am highly satisfied with the infrastructure, and the facilities provided the college. The college provides facilities like classrooms, labs and Wi-Fi. The quality of the facilities in the hostel is up to mark. The food served in the mess and canteen is good. But there is a hygiene issue in the canteen. The college does no provide sports facility.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are very helpful and understanding. They guide students. They provide the required assistance. The course curriculum is relevant. But it doesn't make the students industry-ready. It should be more practical.
Other: The course provides an evergreen advantage. It provides a wide thinking concept as well as practical knowledge for students. Many extracurricular activities are conducted as the course is all about academics.
