There are no placement facilities and the university should work on this.

Placements: There were no placements in our course. They did not provide salary packages. There were top recruiting companies but students were not offered any salary packages. Students did not get internships from our course, so universities should work on this point. It should provide students with placement facilities. There was no role offered.

Infrastructure: Our college facilities and infrastructure available for our course were good. There were labs, classrooms, and a library available. There were medical facilities and sports and games facilities available. All facilities were good, but the university should have to work on its library because there were not sufficient books available for our course to read.

Faculty: Our teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was good. This course made students industry-ready. Students got 2 questions to write answers with tricks for the right or wrong questions. It gave students a chance to increase their percentage.

Opt for it only if necessary.

Placements: It is a good college, but placements are not offered. As it is an open university, there are low opportunities for placements. By university, some placement drives are organized but those are not enough. University doesn't inform about placements clearly to students.

Infrastructure: It is a good course provides by the university but the study materials are not good. There are no video classes provided by the university, and classrooms are good enough. The library is also good but only for the interns not for students because it is an open distance learning university.

Faculty: Teachers are good enough, but they are always busy as it is an open distance learning university. But it's good as per environment but doesn't help in studies provided by the university. Teaching is self-placed in this university, and the course is a little old as per the new tech world.
