It is an open university, so you can only get a degree from here.
Placements: It is an open university, so there is no placement, and I cannot say about the packages offered. You can only get a degree from this university. Mostly, there are girls in this college because there is no issue of attendance.
Infrastructure: Our university provides Wi-Fi. Classrooms are good, and there is a library in our college. Regular classes are held by the lecturers, but there is no necessity to attend the classes. Often, very few students go to college daily to attend the classes. They only come on the day of the exam.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, well qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good enough, but none of the students attends the lectures. The course is relevant, but it does not make students industry-ready. You can only get a diploma or degree.
