Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar.
Placements: We don't have placements in our medical college. After completing the final year, every student is supposed to work as an intern in the hospital attached to our college. It's almost like a paid internship. We get a monthly salary of 12-15k. Interns are placed across different wards in rotation. It ensures the necessary clinical exposure. The clinical exposure at our college is pretty decent. As the hospital welcomes and treats a lot of people from every socioeconomic status, it ensures a lot of patient-doctor interaction.
Infrastructure: I believe that the infrastructure of the college needs a lot of development. Construction work at campus never ends. Campus is not really big and we face some difficulty in finding our daily goods easily. We can have a vehicle for that purpose and it will make things easier. Laboratories are not equipped with adequate advanced instruments. A lot of practical topics remain up to theory only. Library facilities are really good, and that's the only nice part of our college.
Faculty: The administration is really strict towards academics. Frequent classes are conducted by experienced faculty members. All the professors are dedicated to their work. So, students study a lot in our college. College also is very strict towards students' attendance. It requires a minimum of 75% attendance to write the exams. Frequent one-on-one parent-teacher meetings are held, which help students who fail in any paper. It is strict but that's what makes us study.
Other: We celebrate different traditional festivals like Holi, Diwali, Saraswati Puja, and Ganesha Puja with all the enthusiasm at our college. During these festivals, the college organizes a lot of cultural and literature competitions. College also organizes an annual fest called PLEXUS. During this time, the vibe is completely different. Fest has a cultural competition, star nights, and a whole night DJ are organized which is a really fun time. About the development, I feel the campus needs to be expanded with better infrastructure.

Nimapara College Physical Science Review.
Placements: The college does not provide any placements because it is not an independent university. Most of the graduates prepare for government jobs or teaching jobs after graduation. As the college doesn't offer any B. Tech course, there's no scope for placements.
Infrastructure: The coursework is in good condition as far as local colleges in India are concerned. The teachers are good at teaching; some are qualified, and some are not. Hostel conditions are good but quite old. The teachers are quite engaged in teaching activities. The mess and canteen food is also better than what one expects from hostel mess food.
Faculty: Teachers are mostly from the state universities of the state. The curriculum is quite relevant, but it does not make the students industry-ready except for some of the placement courses. The semester exams are quite easy and can be passed easily by studying sometime before the semester exam.
Other: There are no big fests conducted as it is a local college, but you get to learn so many things and struggle in life, which is the most important thing. My suggestion would be improvements in the infrastructure of laboratories, at least.

College is really good in terms of education, and you'll even find lovable and entertaining friends.
Placements: Our college doesn't provide placements, and internships are based on our own hard work and dedication. The college doesn't take responsibility for providing internships. Even though it's a government college, placements and internships are totally up to the students. If we want to apply for internships, the teachers will help us find good opportunities, but the college itself isn't responsible for that.
Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi, labs, well-maintained classrooms, and a studious environment. There is a library filled with books. The hostel and canteen food is pretty good, but it may not provide all necessary nutrients. In terms of sports, the college motivates and encourages students to engage in games, and there is also an NCC group.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, friendly, and brilliant. The semester exams are moderately difficult, and the grading is fair, with a passing percentage of 33% or 4 SGPA. In our major department, the teachers are especially motivating, encouraging students to do well both in college and in real life. Semester exams aren't too difficult if we start studying about a week before.
Other: I really like mathematics, and I learned that the faculty members of BJB College are excellent and cooperative. It would have been better if they provided internships and placements without so much difficulty. The college plans regular events and fests, offers scholarships, and encourages extracurricular activities.

The Educational Backbone.
Placements: The B.Ed degree is required to teach in a school. It is also required to take the teaching entrance exam. So, it is necessary to complete the B.Ed degree. The college provides training for teachers, which is the top role for a good student teacher.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is average, but it has lots of funds that it can't use because of the small land area. The college is over 1000 years old, and it seems that there was no proper planning when it was built. However, it is the best college in Odisha for a B.Ed course. The classrooms are not sufficient for the number of students enrolled, but the canteen and mess are clean and hygienic. There is no space for daily sports, but they do happen occasionally.
Faculty: The teachers were excellent. Most of them have their Ph.D.s and are highly qualified and helpful. They were like family to me. The exams were not very difficult, but the entrance exam was highly competitive. The internship program made us industry ready.
Other: I want to become a teacher to become a school teacher B.Ed. degree is mandatory. Infrastructure can be better. Events are so frequently happening.

Gujarat University Cyber Security and digital forensics. Great experience and scope.
Placements: The department does not provide placement services. They do offer letters of recommendation and contacts for jobs and internships. Given the high demand for cyber security professionals, we were able to find employment based on my skills and qualifications.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the department is very good. There are smart boards and projectors in every classroom. Wi-Fi is provided, and the drinking water is filtered and cooled. There is an elevator, which is technically for staff but students can use it. There are labs and clean washrooms. Overall, the infrastructure is excellent.
Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they are very approachable and helpful. However, most of the faculty are research scholars who don't have a degree in education. They have less teaching experience, but they are very good in the field and have a great deal of knowledge. They try their best to make sure that we understand the material. The exams are medium to tough, and it is easy to pass but not easy to score very well. As a result, most students pass easily.
Other: Cyber security and digital forensics is a growing feild. As the technology grow one needs to grow their security too and the scope for job and vacancies is also very high. And extracurricular is also good with all the sport activities, yoga, and fests and functions.
