Review of G.N. Khalsa College.

Placements: For B.A. students, there are no on-campus placements provided. Students have to find the placements on their own. College does not provide placement opportunities on campus for courses like B.A. So, students have to look after placements at their own risk.

Infrastructure: Course is quite relevant and provides a good opportunity, only if we know our future goals. College does not provide hostel facilities, so we need to figure out the accommodation on our own.

Faculty: Exams are conducted quarterly each year. Since the course is for three years, exams are conducted 6 times throughout the course. Each semester will have external exams for 75 marks and internals for 25 marks. In the first year, we have all the subjects. In the second year, we need to choose two subjects. In the last year, there is only one subject which is required for our degree.

Andrews is an okay college with good studies. Teachers are really good, that's the main thing.

Placements: Nothing, it's just simple. There are 200 students in one course, there are many courses they provide, but with some pay. There's no highest, lowest, or options in the courses. No placement. It's just normal with subjects, and you have to choose the subjects once it's chosen. You can't change it in the first year, and in degree college (FY), you get options to choose.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are okay, only fans, no ACs. We were taught through projectors. No fest, maybe next time. It's a Catholic college, so in the month of December, you get fun things to do. The canteen has limited stuff and is expensive. Sports day happens. The campus is also long, and a flea market is organized with stalls.

Faculty: Teachers are the best. Papers for the exams are set in a pretty good way, neither too easy nor too hard. There are 2 semesters every year, each worth 100 marks. If you attend lectures, it will be really easy to pass the exam because the teachers are very good. If your motive is to just study, get a course, and do a Master's ahead, it's sorted.

Other: The crowd is good, there are activities, but no college fest. Andrews should bring 6 major psychology courses.

Pros and Cons of Joining Wilson College.

Placements: There are no placement opportunities offered in my course. Students mostly have to find internships by themselves. The college does not have a placement cell for Psychology so there aren't any opportunities. Professors did share resources but they were very limited.

Infrastructure: I have not lived in the hostel so I cannot comment on that. My classroom didn't have many facilities. We did have a psychology lab which had the required equipments but it was average. Our libraries weren't convenient as there was no system to just pick out a book and read. But rather forms had to be filled and books would be given the next day.

Faculty: Some teachers are qualified and knowledge whereas the majority teachers are not good enough. Most just read through their notes and don't make the subject interesting. The course curriculum is relevant but it can be better. The course can have more practical experiments, group projects and better assignments for the overall development of a student. The semester exams aren't very difficult. Majority students clear exams.

Other: I love psychology and I want to pursue Psychology later on in my life and hence I chose this course. The course is interesting and I loved studying Social Psychology. It would be better if we had better assignments and experiments rather than very outdated ones. I didn't like the crowd. The people weren't very welcoming and there was favouritism and groupism quite a bit. I MET better people in my third year. There are many extra curricular activities for those interested .

Honest Mithibai College Review.

Placements: I've not yet passed out of the college. But my seniors did get placed. The training and placement cell of the college provides much information about internships and job opportunities for the students of all the courses. But most likely, B.Com, B.M., and B.Sc. have more chances of getting placed in the college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college provides a suitable place for all the courses to take place within the building. Though the building is small and there's a large number of students in it, it's quite congested. Although, the best part of the college is the canteen. The food is very good.

Faculty: The faculty is very qualified and experienced. Also, the curriculum is inclusive, informative, and interesting. Under NEP, our college has tried to integrate almost every subject possible for us to study. We study almost 7-8 subjects each semester.

Other: The course that I chose is an integrated one where I can go with Economics Honours or I can do B.A. normally as an Economics major and minor subjects. Mithibai provides better information than other colleges, and the course design is quite unique for someone who is new to it. Initially, the curriculum is a bit overwhelming to take and study, but as you get used to it, it will get easier.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of the faculty.

Placements: There is no placement for Arts in this college. Internship programmes are offered by TCS mostly. Roles offered in this course are professor and civil services. There is a special department of placement in this college. And out of 100% eligible students, 80% got placements.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available all over the classroom. And digital boards are provided by the college. A huge library is present with over 500,000 books available. The library is available for 24/7 for students. A huge ground is present with different sports activities available .

Faculty: Faculty in this college are well educated and proficient in their work. Allowing students to stay free with them. The course curriculum is very well relevant to industrial needs. Providing students with paced skills and problem-solving techniques. Semester exams are easy to pass.

The college has its merits and demerits.

Placements: More or less, the internships are with Stanly Morgan, but the departmental internships are not up to par. It's better to find your own internships via LinkedIn. It is said that the companies are in plenty, but that feels like a lie. Overall, just because of the name, you can get placements wherever you want.

Infrastructure: There are no ACs, but the overall infrastructure is nice. The projector works fine. The Gymkhana is nice, and the sports in college are plentiful. The library has its own vibe; it feels like you are studying in Hogwarts, but the books are outdated in many aspects. The lending and reference libraries are two different libraries.

Faculty: It's more theoretical. It would be more practical to have real-life field visits, but the college doesn't have that. It gives you a better understanding of how real life works. Most of the faculty hired are real-life working professionals, and their insights help a lot.

Other: The fests are plentiful, but after a while, it feels forced to participate to earn ECC points.
