    More amount of placements should be there.
    Placements: I don't know about my course, but overall it'll be 30%. Maximum package would be 4 LPA, the lowest 1.5 LPA, and the average would be 2.5-3 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Tata and Wipro. About 10% of students of our course got internships. I don't know about the top roles.
    Infrastructure: The facilities are not that top notch as we require computers for some of our practicals. The infrastructure is good. Talking about the hostel, the college only has a boys' hostel which has all the facilities. The food is average, and it has a gym. The curfew time is 6 pm for summers and 5:30 pm for winters.
    Faculty: The teachers are quite helpful. They are well qualified and knowledgeable. They share their college experience with us. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant and yes, it makes the students industry ready. The semester exams are tough as the college comes under NBU. The pass percentage is 35.
    Other: I chose Geography because I wanted to explore the subject. The best thing about my course is the field surveys and trips. The thing I want to improve in my course is during our odd semesters we get very less time for completing our syllabus. Therefore, it would be great if the syllabus got reduced during odd semesters. The number of events are very less in this college, which should be more in number.
