The college had been there for a comparatively a long period of time, that is since the 1970s. The department boosted on a strong alumni background and had a better student yo teacher ratio. The fees for the college was very less compared to other colleges. The college also provides placement facilities as well as internship options. The college also hosts several events such as debates and meeting with business leaders. However, the college has a comparatively less number of permanent faculty. Similarly, the placement cell has to improve.

The benefit to cost aspect of the college is appealed to me the most. The presence of experienced professors was also another factor. The student to faculty ratio was really healthy, 8:1. All the teaching faculty had a PhD. The teachers used projectors and PPTs to teach classes. The first two semesters are the hardest.

The companies that offered an internship to the student of the industry included Woodlands Hospitals, Pepsi Co, Nirmal Bang, Dabur and Pantaloons. The roles were specific to the specialization of the students. The project assigned to each student was different.

The student would be eligible for placement after their second semester. The companies that visited the campus included Bandhan Bank and Axis Bank. The average package has been around 3 lac per annum. Around 40 percent of the student got placed. My plan is to get a job in content writing.

The fees structure was extremely low at only 16500. The Exam fees were around 200 per semester. There is no financial assistance from the university. Scholarships are comparatively rare. The department provides placement and internship for the students. However, the percentage of placed students is low.

The university hosted a large number of events like meeting the business leaders along with different seminars and debates. The university also had a small playground and some indoor games. The classes had projectors. The library had a decent number of books and journals.

The topics for the GD included female empowerment and rising inflation. The interview question included a different type of question from a different background also about the different expectation from the department.
