This is college is awesome so everyone can study there.
Placements: 12 percent of students were placed in our course. The highest is 320,000 and the lowest is 18,000. TATA Consultancy Services is the top recruitment company, mainly focused on research and giving new ideas and tactics. It is the main course of the internship. Tata Consultancy Services is the company. Accountant is the top role of our course.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is bad because our college is an old one, that's why our college looks like it has bad infrastructure, not suitable for today's generation. Wi-Fi is available in all departments but no range. Labs are also there for Chemistry. Classrooms are cleaned and well-maintained. A library is also there.
Faculty: Teachers are good. All are qualified teachers for us, they are very supportive and very passionate about this job and teaching quality is awesome. Yes, this course is curriculum relevant. Yes, it makes the students industry-ready. Definitely, our college is under Calicut University, their semester exams are very tough, very strict. The passing percentage is 30% of the total mark.
Other: I want to become an accountant, that's why I chose B.Com Finance. The best thing about my course is accounting. I wish that the syllabus should be reduced, this is overloaded for students and they should give study leave also. Events are regularly conducted in our college, there is a food fest also. Campus crowd is bad, connectivity is batch-wise, campus surroundings are average for me. Scholarships are there, Bharatiya scholarship is also there. Extracurricular activities are also there, NSS and NCC are there.

Really good infrastructure and facilities, satisfying environment, good faculty members.
Placements: I have come to know that there are active placements in Safi. I heard that almost 60% of the students got placed, which includes a package of 8 lakhs per annum. Some of the companies are Sonata and Microsoft. Also, there are many career development classes undertaken by the college where experienced people come as guests to take those classes.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the course and hostel is good. There are good facilities in the classrooms as well as the hostel. The hostel fee is affordable. Overall, the infrastructure facilities are excellent in SAFI. The main block is the best, which has a pyramid in the center that consists of the names of the main persons who helped the college.
Faculty: The majority of the faculty members in Safi are supportive and helpful in all ways. They are all qualified, and the quality of teaching is excellent. The college conducts frequent internal exams for improvement and better learning. The semester exams are a bit difficult, but the pass percentage is quite good.
Other: The events and fests in the college are quite few, but the events which are conducted are very enthusiastic. The only thing which has to be improved very much is conducting more events and programs in the college.

Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) - Batch of 2024

Review of Sree Narayana Guru College of Advanced Studies, Nattika.
Placements: We have about 40 students who opted for BCA. The course is actually 3 years, so you have to pay around 1 LPA for 3 years. You can work in many top companies if you have excellent skills after learning this course. You can work as a software developer, SaaS developer, etc. after this course.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is too slow. Classrooms and libraries are good, but the canteen is very small; it doesn't even fit 20 students. The quality of the food is also not that great. Sports and games are all good. The labs where you work on practicals are good; they have AC, and all the computers are the latest and fast.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are well qualified and great. They are not only teachers but also supportive mentors who help you a lot. The semesters are not too difficult; every student can pass if they study. There were many students in my class who were a little behind in studies, but the teachers helped them get good marks, and they did pass the exams.
Other: I chose this course because I love working with computers and I enjoy coding. The best thing is that students can get jobs easily as the IT field, like BCA, is the best choice to secure a promising job. The campus should improve its way of teaching, like building smart boards in specific classrooms so that students can easily grasp what they are being taught. Events, fests, and other extracurricular activities are great on this campus, and every student will love them once they experience it.

Am very much satisfied because of college location teachers lab facilities Hostel facilities.
Placements: 50% of students got placed in various companies with good salaries as a fresher. It is a great opportunity to get a job after completion of the course. The internship period was in vacation but if you utilize it very useful for your studies because you can gain more hands-on experience and it will help to get a good job.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is very good, calm and peaceful atmosphere. It helps us to gain extra energy, especially in winter and the rainy season. Labs are super clean with advanced technology. In the case of the Library, it's very good and it has a digital Library too.
Faculty: Teachers were well qualified and well trained. So they know how to teach easily so we can grasp easily. They cover all exam portions and general knowledge related to subjects. They conduct the class tests, term tests, and model test papers so it's helpful for the semester exams, especially in the case of Medical Microbiology.
Other: The college had a very calm and peaceful atmosphere so it was very helpful for us.

Best autonomous college .
Placements: Students above 85 percent got placements from the college. The lowest is 10,800, the highest is 26,000. Various food-related companies are top recruiting companies. Above 70 percent of students were placed in this college as this is an autonomous college.
Infrastructure: The college provides a hostel for both boys and girls. The hostel has good facilities, Wi-Fi, etc. The quality of the food they are providing is also better, along with medical facilities and good support for the sports field. Students also participate in various games from the college.
Faculty: The teachers are very good in this college; they are qualified and helpful. Their teaching quality is also very good. This course is very well relevant, not sure if it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are not much of a problem; average students can easily pass the exams.
Other: I chose this course because I heard about this as much scope outside. Events and programs should be done more for more relation for students.
