The students, faculty, staff and everyone is good and sociable and friendly.
Placements: I'm new here; I don't know that much. But maybe from 5th or 6th semester students are eligible for campus placements, as per the faculty members; many companies visited the university. As per the college site, 90% of students get placement. I don't know that much about internships at the university, but as per the seniors, students had a positive experience. Some students have secured internships with companies like Wipro, HDFC, and the Aditya Birla Group.
Infrastructure: So many functions, like International Mother Language Day, Kabi Guru Utsav, Basant Panchmi, Holi, and Naba Barso, are celebrated. They have a good central library and a separate library for the department. Not so modern technology is available there. They organize good sports.
Faculty: The faculty members are good; this is my first year, and I quite like the faculty there. Some faculty are strict, and some are funny. Faculty members are very approachable, as they said if you have any problem related to ragging or studies, you can talk to them. I think everything is good among teachers and students. There are exams held in the name of mid 1, mid 2, and ending sem.

The students, faculty, staff—everyone is good, sociable, and friendly.
Placements: In the 2nd sem, college gives the opportunity to join an internship at VI company, and in the 3rd semester, one more internship is offered. College internships allow us to earn money by doing that simple internship. The internship is from the college. In this college, there is less placement for all the branches. To be eligible to give an interview, you must have above 75% in 12th and never failed in exams. In each exam, you need 8+ CGPA. After this, you will be eligible for an interview.
Infrastructure: So many functions like International Mother Language Day, Kabi Guru Utsav, Basant Panchmi, Holi, Naba Barso, and Jorasanko Dibas. They have a good central library and a separate library for departments. Not so modern technology is available there. They organize good sports.
Faculty: In the 1st year, 1st semester, faculty treats you very good. After the 1st sem, the faculty shows their colors. Some teachers are good, but some teachers are average. Some teachers teach you better. The faculty members are helpful. The faculty and student relationship is good. All the faculty members are well-educated and good at teaching both theory and practical. There are practical exams, internal exams, and semester exams. Tests are also conducted by the faculty members.

Good knowledge and course plan for economics.
Placements: The placement range for the university suggests that around 75-90% of the students get placements with an average placement of around 25K per month, where companies like GIS remote sensing, Urban Planning Commission, etc., come.
Infrastructure: The classroom is good enough, and it helps if someone comes to conduct a workshop or any presentation that has to take place. The infrastructure is quite supportive of that. There are basic materials that are available to the students, and others are in the library.
Faculty: The curriculum does not match the industry requirements; no updating is happening to make the students more employable. The college faculty members and course plan will help build the core knowledge in economics but not in getting a job. The faculty members are good.
