My best days in my college days .
Placements: There were internships in both IT and non-IT departments, and most of the interns were placed. The highest positions were manager and other high-level posts, and I believe that around 30% of the graduates got jobs with good salaries. My friends who graduated from this college also got good jobs.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is very good. The lab, classrooms, and restrooms are always maintained very clean. The canteen is always good. If anyone has a medical problem, the medical room is always open. Our college supports so many sports, and they encourage the students to participate.
Faculty: The teachers are the best and their teaching methods are the best ever. They are very friendly and appreciate the students regardless of whether they get low or high marks.
Other: I like my course because it's so many stories in old things. I didn't know any history-related things before, but I sure do now. All things are good. There are many events throughout the year, and I get a scholarship once a year.

Absolutely satisfied because of the faculty.
Placements: Top recruiting companies like TCS, Amazon, Wipro, HSBC, Cognizant, Deloitte, and KPMG frequently visit Nayan College for achievements. Students from management, computer science, and commerce backgrounds often land jobs in these organizations and other sectors as well.
Infrastructure: Loyola College provides excellent sports facilities and encourages students to participate in sports like cricket, football, basketball, and athletics. Hostel facilities are provided for both male and female students, although they are limited in number and typically available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Faculty: Most faculty members at Loyola College hold advanced degrees like M.A., M.Sc., M.Com., and Ph.D. in their respective fields. Many have significant academic experience, and some also have industry expertise, particularly in management, compliance, and commerce. Teachers are known to be well-versed in their subjects and often stay updated with the latest developments in the field. The quality of teaching is generally considered very good, with faculty using a variety of methods,as practical assignments, and seminars.

UG was good but PG has destroyed everything in this college.
Placements: Yes, almost 8/10 students got placements and many corporate and banking offices were highly put forth by the human resource head staff to get offer letters. We can see many BOP sectors and front office job offers and some even got IT sector jobs. Even we got some media-related placement houses.
Infrastructure: Most of the classrooms were in repair condition. The library has some new books now. But when I was in my first year of UG, there were very old books available. No Wi-Fi and hostel are there. Infrastructure would be very bad. The canteen was too hygienic. There is not much food or snack to eat.
Faculty: Yes, UG staff were good. In PG (2nd year 2024), the HOD now was newly appointed; she was not fair. Brought very bad internship offers. And she's not fair in bringing opportunities to us. Also some staff are there, who I say are not that qualified in way of taking class and language was not good.
Other: I would say I came in with good confidence and am studying still with a low confidence level due to language issues. They provided poor education and poor language classes.

My college experience about QMC.
Placements: My batch has various job placements from top companies like Accenture and TCS. Also, students were provided internship opportunities at NGOs. Last year the highest package was about 3 lacs per annum. The percentage of placement for all over the college was a little low. But the college offers placement drives and training classes.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are equipped with smart board facilities and have separate lab facilities for each department. Also, my college has separate grounds for each sport and has a dispensary with a doctor facility. Our college hostel was under renovation, and the students were staying at the hostel of the neighboring college.
Faculty: The syllabus was very useful for civil. services examination. I chose this course to write the civil services exam. It better suits me. Also, my faculty members are very friendly and help to solve our doubts, and they insist we apply for the exams like NET. The syllabus was framed based on the syllabus of net and civil services.
Other: Also, my college offers various value-added classes like silambam karate and other craft classes at very low cost after the college hours. My college also provides SC/ST scholarships and Puthumai Penn scholarships for all eligible students.

Good arts college in Chennai.
Placements: The placement opportunities are good, and top recruiters were Shriram Finance, Aura Health Insurance, etc. The lowest salary package ranges around 1.8 LPA, and the highest salary package is around 3 LPA. The percentage of placement is around 73% every year, both on-campus and off-campus.
Infrastructure: The college has all basic facilities. The only thing is that the campus has no Wi-Fi connection. The classrooms are well-maintained. The library is excellent and has more collections of books. The food quality is very good. The hostel facilities are okay.
Faculty: The staff and teachers are very friendly towards the students. They guide the students very well. Their teaching is really helpful. The course curriculum is relevant to the field. The semester exams are moderate; if we prepare well for the exams, it doesn’t matter. The pass mark is to obtain 35% of the total marks.

Overall, the experience is average in all aspects.
Placements: Placement cell offers a few roles for sociology graduates, mainly in HR and media. Recruiting companies are The Hindu, Accenture, Amazon, TCS, Wipro, Teach for India, and others. The highest salary package offered in our course is 5 LPA. The average salary package offered is around 2 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 1 LPA.
Infrastructure: Students have access to air-conditioned libraries. There are well-equipped labs, and decent classroom facilities with projectors. We lack a proper sports field due to the small size of the campus. Canteen serves hot bread and Nithya Amirtham, mostly outsourced, so the quality is decent. We also have access to vending machines.
Faculty: Most teachers are qualified, but some lack effective teaching methods. All teachers are dedicated to their students, but sometimes they use teaching methods. Course curriculum is good, and students can grasp the concepts easily. Semester exams are average, as the questions lack variety and are not always aligned with the content provided. Pass percentage is 40%.
Other: I chose this course because it deeply interests me. The best part of the course is that it provides a wide knowledge of society, which helps us in our daily lives. Course is quite interesting and easy to learn. There are a few areas for improvement, such as the campus size, which is quite small. Extracurricular activities are limited. Placement cell could be improved.
