Kind satisfied with the overall surroundings, but not so satisfied with the classes.
Placements: They do not have any placement for us in our faculty, but there is more facilites has placement like fine arts faculty and visual arts faculty, this faculty members gives some chances to the students for internships. But in our faculty we can't expect any kind of placement from the college.
Infrastructure: They have poor water supply in the hostel, and hostels do not has Wi-Fi connection. But co mates are mostly good, they do not bother others. We have four to five canteens in the campus, and the food are mostly test and pockets freindly too. The canteen stuff are well behaved.
Faculty: Some teachers are knowledgeable, and teaching quality is good, but rest of the teachers are not serious about their classes in our faculty. My course is not curriculum relevant, but in the campus organised lots of departmental fest, grand fest, Basanta utsav, Sharod utsav and meny more.
Other: The campus has full with events and fest, and the surroundings are good enough.

Our university has balanced campus life, education, and other amenities.
Placements: It is just an honours course. All students are pursuing higher studies. No placements are offered to students here. Students get an advantage when they want to pursue higher studies.
Infrastructure: The campus is filled with greenery and it is eco-friendly. Facilities are enough in all aspects. The hostel has comparatively fewer seats. As students from other states come here to study, the seats in the hostel would have been increased. The hostels are very clean. Quality food is provided at a very minimal cost.
Faculty: Most faculty members are helpful, knowledgeable, and hard-working. Exams are easy because topic lists are provided with reference to the syllabus, and questions come from those topics. CBCS system introduced by UGC is being followed by the university for all courses except diploma or certification courses.
Other: The campus has all three groups. Those are arts, visual arts, and fine arts. Almost all major subjects are enrolled in their respective departments. Campus life is balanced. Seminars, webinars, and other programs are arranged to enhance the quality of learning.

Overall I love my college life. I don't have many friends but the ones I made here are worth it.
Placements: Placements are not offered for this course in my university. Although there can be placements for higher studies like Masters and Ph.D., I want to continue in this university in a Master of English. However, English Honours nowadays have a lot of scope, like journalism, management, etc.
Infrastructure: I am currently not associated with the hostel of my university. I travel daily, even though my house is about 2 hours away. Some of my friends reside in the hostel, and as far as I know, the food quality is not up to the mark. Facilities in my department include smart rooms and a library.
Faculty: Teachers are quite knowledgeable and helpful, even though it would be better if regular classes were held. But the teachers always make sure we do not have any problem with any topic. Semesters are held in a gap of 6 months, like any other university, and some of the topics are quite related.
Other: I chose this course because I have always wanted to study English. Classes should be held more regularly. Fests are held 2 times a year: departmental and grand freshers.

I am satisfied because of its teaching quality.
Placements: Since RBU is a university based mainly on arts, fine arts, and visual arts, it does not offer placements. It provides vast experience in the respective fields. Experiences are also subject to worldwide exposure. RBU is best in the sectors of fine arts and visual arts.
Infrastructure: There are individual libraries for each department set aside from the big central library. Wi-Fi is available for the students. The classrooms are well-maintained. There are five canteens each catering to a special cuisine. The quality of food is average and up to the mark.
Faculty: RBU professors are the best in their fields. They all are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They teach descriptively. RBU follows the CBCS curriculum for exams. It makes the student future-ready. Semester exams are relatively easy and compared to CU.
