Satisfied with the learning methodology and helps the students to get placed.

If you are looking for affordable tuition fees, low salary package, then this is right for you.
Placements: Out of all the students who took the course, only 50% were placed in jobs. The highest, lowest, and average packages offered for placements were in the field of visual communication. Unfortunately, there were no top recruiting companies for courses, and neither were there any internships or placements available from companies. In short, these courses did not offer any internships or placements."
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure required for the course or department are not available (such as Wi-Fi and labs). Additionally, the quality of facilities in our hostel, including the quality of food available in the mess and canteen, is very low. There are no medical facilities available, and the sports training and games are also of poor quality."
Faculty: I believe that the teachers at this college are not as helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable as they claim to be. Additionally, the course curriculum is not relevant enough to make the students industry-ready, making this college one of the worst ones out there. The semester exams in this college are very difficult, with only a 50% pass percentage. It's unfortunate that only a few students pass throughout the college."
Other: Yes, photography needs a lab.

The best books and subject books are available in the main library. The curriculum-following books are available in the specific department library. Three canteens with awesome flavored foods.
Faculty: The American College recruited well-educated and qualified faculty members, and they help to clarify your doubts and provide career guidance. The teaching methods are really understood by each and every student. Exams are less difficult to clear with high knowledge.

Placements: Our college provides many internships for all departments, especially for CS and IT students. Kurinji Infotech Pvt Ltd also offers internships, and they select one student from each department. In our college, there is no specific information about the highest or lowest average package.

Really affordable price but not having value for education.
Placements: Nearly 30% of students were placed per year. Packages range from the lowest 12k to up to 60k. Top recruiters include TCS, Infosys, Dmart, TMB, SBI, Maruti Suzuki, etc. Up to 3% of students are placed in top companies, and the rest in mid companies. Top roles include management head, clerk, employee, office manager, etc.
Infrastructure: My B.Com Department has a lot of faculty and some discomforts. Facilities include a depth library, free Wi-Fi, computer lab, spacious classrooms, cooling water, and normal water supply. Discomforts include the electric fans that make students sweat. Sometimes bad smells affect students. The food quality of the hostel is average but eatable. The canteen food has no much more menu, and with only one canteen for the whole college, it creates huge queues and discomfort. Medical facilities are good, and sports events are conducted regularly.
Faculty: The teaching qualities are well, good, and caring. There are many well-experienced teachers in my department. I am in my 2nd year but still haven't gone for an industrial visit. The pass mark was 40 in semester exams, and the questions were tougher, making students fail and struggle with arrears.
Other: I chose the course only for the lower fees compared to other courses because I have no money to study better courses. Providing industrial visits may help improve knowledge in a practical environment. Many events are conducted, about 20-25 per year. The crowd of the college is huge, nearly 4k to 5k students in a single campus. They do not provide scholarships but help to avail scholarships from the government.
