Subject-specific Test (SST) and General Test (GAT)

Amazing college and teachers with good infrastructure.
Placements: A minimum of 80% of students were placed in my course, that too from a well-known school in Chandigarh and other areas. The highest package was around 4-5 lakhs per annum, and the least was around 3 lakhs per annum. GMCH-32, PGI, MLA Hostel, and other hospitals were the top recruiting companies for my course.
Infrastructure: College has great facilities with scooter parking parks. Wi-Fi in the library has excellent facilities in the hostel. However, libraries have a number of useful books. The college has a garden park with a Nescafe canteen, juice corners, and many more washrooms on every floor.
Faculty: Yes, teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality was amazing and full of support. Yes, the course is super relevant and makes us ready in the industry with a field knowledge of 5-6 months. Mst and practical exams made us ready for the exams; however, the pass percentage was set by PUNJAB UNIVERSITY.
Other: Yes.

Good college for upcoming students.
Placements: As I have just passed out from this college, from Bachelor of Arts. The college campus is very good, and teachers are also highly qualified. Internships are also included in this college as the teacher encourages us to do the internship and guide us in everything.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good. They are good in sports, which includes NCC, NSS, etc. The college canteen's food is also good; we always eat from the canteen. It is very hygienic, and the quality of the food is very good. The hostel of the college is also good, which includes AC and coolers.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful in the college, and they are highly qualified. They are very friendly and teach each and every thing very properly. The semester exams are also kind of easy because our teacher teaches us in a very good manner. Pass percentage is also a genuine in the college.
Other: The college campus and study both are good for a student. I will definitely recommend students take admission in this college. Students can also enjoy their student life in the college; it is very good. The crowd of the college is very good, as well as the fests and events that were also there.

College furniture needs to be changed. There should be more placements.
Placements: There are not too many placements. And the one they are offering is not worth the fee of the course; there should be more placements in the respective field and they should spread awareness among different courses, which we can do along with the graduation to face the competition with some different skills .
Infrastructure: Furniture needs to be changed and renewed; the wooden furniture is not comfortable for a 45-minute lecture; there should be good quality furniture; hostels are lacking in facilities based on their perceptions; the perceptions are increasing year after year, but the facilities do not.
Faculty: Faculty is good, teachers are friendly and supportive, and they teach very well and give extra knowledge. They also restrict us to the syllabus only but with the current issues, they should also add current affairs-related topics and some sessions, particularly based on the current situation of our nation.
Other: The campus is quite good and the crowd is also okay but not what I expected with the name of MCM DAV College.

MCM, a good college for studying, making friends, and overall having a good college, but no placemen
Placements: Honestly, there were no placements given for my course, Bachelor's in Arts, in MCM college! Students with BBA degrees did get placed into companies but with very low salaries! This was a negative point for MCM. There were no internships, no placements provided by our college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college was very aesthetically pleasing. It was very artistic and calm. The canteen was hygienic, and there was Wi-Fi, psychology, computer labs! The library was very vast and had a wide range of resources, including books, journals, magazines, and daily newspapers. I did not opt for the hostel.
Faculty: The faculty is well-acknowledged and had a higher education level like Ph.D. Masters! Teaching quality was pretty average. Psychology teachers were, however, very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Their way of teaching was very nice! Yes, we had 2 compulsory subjects every semester which were Punjabi/History of Culture, Punjabi, and English. We were to choose 3 other subjects; I chose psychology, sociology, and political science. Semester exams were medium difficult. Questions were based on what we have studied, and past year questions used to repeat most of the time, so it made it quite easy!
Other: Bachelor's in Arts opens up so many opportunities. I wasn't really sure after what to pursue after the 12th but had a very keen interest in psychology, so I went with this course, and I do not regret it! I guess maybe a more practical way of teaching could help make it better, like real-life industrial experience for psychology! Hospital visits or real-life case studies! The campus crowd was good. There was a diversity of girls in our college. There were people from all across the country. Made many friends from Himachal! Cultural fests, NSS, and NCC clubs were there too! Sector 36 market was best for food. We went to Sector 15 for Chinese and affordable food options.

Bachelor of Law (LL.B.) - Batch of 2029

My law journey starts at PU.
Placements: There are no placements provided by university, but they are trying to offer in the future. Around 10% of students secured internships under well-known legal advisors and advocates. In this course, top roles are advocates and legal practices. Students can also opt for corporate law and legal advisors in MNCs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure for our department is more than average but needs to be improved. There is a lack of washroom hygiene in hostels. The quality of food is good enough to eat but the prices are high for students. Departments have their own libraries opening from 9:00 AM-9:00 PM. There is also a center library of university open 24/7 for all students.
Faculty: All faculty members are well-experienced and knowledgeable. Some of them are very professional. All of them are friendly, cooperative, and approachable. Course curriculum is relevant. Exams are of moderate level with MST and assignments at the end of semester.
Other: University has the best campus life. All seniors and batchmates are very interactive and friendly. It provides a very good environment for socializing and developing the mind state of an individual.

I'm very dissatisfied with the placements which are provided by the college.
Placements: Honestly, MCM DAV College for women does not provide any good placements, even for the toppers; the placements that are provided are very low-quality. I would never prefer any college that does not provide good placements, especially for B.Com.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi at our college is of no use; it doesn't work anywhere except the library and celebration grounds. Classrooms are not well built; they are very suffocating in the summer, and the benches are very uncomfortable. It would be better if there were more fans in the classroom.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are helpful while others are very rude. The exams are not that difficult; a person can easily pass them just by studying one month prior. It would be better if the teachers were more helpful and if there was more gap between the midterms and finalterms.
Other: MCM doesn't organize a lot of events and fests, and its very difficult to get the permission of our principal for anything and the receptionist is very rude.
