Based on the student and alumni reviews, here's what you need to know:

* Teaching: The faculty is helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teachers provide full attention to students, develop knowledge, and communicate effectively.
* Course Curriculum: The course curriculum is relevant, making students ready for the industry they'll work in. Exams are of varying difficulty levels, and the passing percentage is good.
* Infrastructure: Classrooms are equipped with smartboards, Wi-Fi is available, and there's a canteen with decent food options. However, some classrooms lacked working projectors, and the overall infrastructure is considered average.
* Placements: Placements for BBA are reported to be average, with a limited number of companies visiting the campus, offering average salary packages (Rs 2-6 Lacs per annum). Fewer students get internships, and some batches have seen zero placements.
* Faculty Departure: Some excellent faculty members from the management department have left due to low salaries.
* Student Life: Extracurricular activities and events are scarce, and there's no exposure outside the campus.

Overall, while Shri Guru Ram Rai University seems to have some strong points, such as helpful faculty and a relevant curriculum, its performance in terms of placements and infrastructure is a concern. Students may find themselves lacking opportunities and exposure.
