I really like it. Good campus.
Placements: The college has a very bad placement cell. They do not provide us with good placements at all. I expect too much from the placement, but I realised the sad reality. There is no active placement cell, but some departments have one. Their own placement cell. Its very good.
Infrastructure: Hostel is very good. We can easily take admission, and there are no hidden rules and regulations. We can move without any restrictions. The mess food is also good. We do not need to go outside for good food. There is also good food and sports there. We have a discount there.
Faculty: There are good teachers with high qualifications. We have the opportunity to study below them. We can always ask their opinion on any topic. They are all Ph.D. holders. It helps us to prepare our final year project. The place is full of qualified teachers.
Other: Good campus with lots of information.

It's a satisfying campus, I really love it.
Placements: Very poor placement cell. They don't provide placement. If we want to get a job, we need to search for it. They will only conduct a programme in a year. Total waste is the placement cell. Don't expect too much from it. I don't have any hope for the placement cell working.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure here. We have a library and a whole learning space. We can use it 24 hours a day. The lab facilities are very poor. My department has no lab facilities. So we are missing projects because of a lack of laboratories. We can travel 24 hours on campus without restrictions.
Faculty: Good for studying. We can use their knowledge for our projects. Teachers are highly qualified, and we can ask them questions. But my course has some issues, but okay. We have no PSC inclusion. We have some trouble because we are the 2nd batch of this course.
Other: A good campus.

Absolutely satisfied with the college.
Placements: The college has very bad placement facilities. The university offers placement, but the amount is very low. Some of the departments have a special placement cell. They are working actively. They provide good placement for their students. MBA is a good example of placements.
Infrastructure: There is a good hostel facility and bathrooms. We can live easily in hostels. The students have the esteem power. We can do whatever we want. There are 4 shared rooms, 2 shared rooms, and single rooms. They provide it based on distance. There are 1000 people in facilities available.
Faculty: The course curriculum makes the students industry-ready and capable for the job market. Semester exams are very easy to score higher marks in. There is a good infrastructure for studying. Teachers are well qualified with Ph.D. and a PDF. We can use their knowledge for our projects and research.
Other: Good campus for students.

One of the best campuses to study, but the department needs improvement.
Placements: As an integrated course, it is an interesting and easy course to do, but when it comes to placement, I am still doubtful about it as we are the 2nd batch and we have to start our department-level placement cell from scratch. Some other courses, like MBA, have a high chance of getting placed.

Faculty: As a blooming department, we don't have permanent faculty members and all of them are working on contract for a year or so. Unlike most other development studies courses, we have more economics to study. I think this will be the easiest semester exam to pass, and the pass percentage will be more than 95%.
Other: I felt this course was interesting as it covers all of social Science through various semesters. It would be better if we get permanent staff as it can improve our department a lot. When it comes to events, various departments and our students' union conduct interesting programs throughout the year.

Satisfied with the infrastructure and dissatisfied with the placement.
Placements: Poor placement, and we can't trust the placement system. They don't make us employed. If we need to, we can find jobs in the market. They only make us able in the job market. Some of the departments, like the MBA, are providing placement. It's also rare, but comparatively good.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is good, and the bathrooms are very clean. The infrastructure is also very good. We have lots of resources for knowledge. Libraries and labs are there. Qualified teachers are there. 3000 students are currently studying. They are all satisfied with the facilities.
Faculty: Good faculty members are there. They are all qualified, and they can absolutely teach us. They are all PhD holders or ongoing PhD students. We can use qualified teachers' consultation, and it also helps in our own projects and paper presentations based on our study.

Satisfied, no problem in academics and faculties. Keep fewer expectations about college programs.
Placements: In the 2024 pass-out batch, over 95% of students were placed in my course. The highest package offered so far was 24 LPA, and the average is about 7-9 LPA. The lowest offers are 1.5-2 LPA. Reliance Industries Ltd., Quest, L&T, and Schneider Electric are some of the top recruiting companies. Internships, I think, are on an application basis.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi for students. Most labs are good and have acceptable facilities. However, the EDC Lab has only a few functioning components (Function generator, CRO). The classroom is a 6/10 - seating is comfortable, but overall, the class and infrastructure are okay. The library is very good (only till 5 PM). Sports and games are highly encouraged in our college. In the college hostel, the food is really good. I have never had any food poisoning experience. Girls can be out only till 7 PM. Both hostels have Wi-Fi. Students have many other choices besides the college hostel (PGs and hostels), which, in my opinion, are far better.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Especially in our department, they are very sincere and helpful. Semester exams (Question Paper) are conducted by the university. They are of medium difficulty. The course curriculum is good. I wouldn't say the syllabus and overall curriculum make students ready.
Other: Campus life: Events and fests are very few, but there are lots of clubs and communities. Sports and extracurricular activities are highly encouraged and supported. One good thing about my course is the placements and job opportunities. Our department is quite friendly, and the people are good.
