This course is mainstream in Physics and supports research in the field. There is about 40-50 staff in the Physics department. All the faculty are Ph.D. scholars in relevant topics A term is 4 months long including all the exams (midterm and end-term). Courses are relatively fast and especially pace up in the second half of the semester. Focus on learning is low and academic load is high.

All sorts of companies visit campus for internship opportunities. The amount offered can vary from unpaid to 1.5 lakh per month. Did not do an internship so don't have a lot of ideas about their projects.

You can sit in placements starting from the seventh semester. A huge amount of companies visit and it boasts 100% placements for those who sit in placements. The highest packages reach up to 20 million INR per annum, the average package lies around 800000 pa, 99% of students who sit for placements get placed. Not sure. My options are MTech in Data Science or a job in the same field. Depends on the salary offered.

Fee hikes are timely and dependent on budgets and decided by UGAC. Cost is higher than other government colleges in India but the facilities provided are ample. I did not sit in on-campus placements. I was not eligible for any of the scholarships. Scholarships generally require an ITR of less than 5 lakh per annum which I did not qualify for.

The cultural festival is Mood Indigo, and the technical festival is TechFest. Both were carried in Dec pre covid. Books related to courses are available in the required quantity, books related to literature are also there but do not expect to find anything you randomly pick. Classrooms are well ventilated and comfortable. Teachers teach using presentations as well as onboard. Ppts are shared on moodle for assistance. A lot of extracurriculars happen here covering a wide variety of activities. Indoor courts, swimming pool, gymkhana ground all are active at all times of the academic year. Some social groups are Rang, Vaani, BBC, Pixels, Style up, etc.

Rooms are small and have to be shared with a roommate. You can choose one year, either third or fourth, for single occupancy. Rooms have fans, light, and LAN facilities. Meal quality is average in taste but fulfills nutritional needs. Hostels are automatically assigned and payments are done separately from the tuition fees. Pretty affordable and very cheap compared to the city.
