Admission: The classes we're taking look promising for our future, but the teaching needs an upgrade to match. It'd be great if they hired more skilled teachers. Exams are tough and push us to learn, but the grades seem to depend more on how we get along with the professors than on our actual smarts. We should always be respectful to our teachers, even if things aren't going well. Right now, we can't see our exam papers after the semester, which makes it hard to understand how we're being graded.
Placement: My department doesn't have a placement cell like some others do. It's tough to find internships because professors don't offer much help. Even though we're autonomous, things aren't as good as in other colleges.
Campus: The college doesn't have cool facilities, and the classrooms are dirty and not taken care of. The departmental library is a bit messy too. The person in charge of it is usually around, and there aren't many rules for the staff, teachers, or students.

Admission: The professors here are super helpful and know their stuff. The teaching is great and the course focuses on pure mathematics, not applied math. It's really interesting and gives you a solid understanding. Just a heads up, the semester exams are pretty tough. The pass rate is around 70%.
Placement: Our course had around 2-3 students who got placed. I think our college is better than most other colleges out there.
Campus: The college has good infrastructure with clean classrooms. They have AC and Wi-Fi. The library has lots of books. The hostel is nice too. But the mess food isn't great. The staff in the mess don't get their salaries on time. Overall, it's a decent college with some room for improvement.

Admission: The teachers and staff at the college are really great. They know their stuff and are experienced. They make sure we learn what we need to know. The course content is practical and we do a lot of case studies. Exams are not too hard and happen twice a year.
Placement: The placements here are okay, but the top students always manage to land jobs at good companies. A lot of startups and local companies come here to hire students. The salaries are decent, usually between 4 to 5 lakhs per year. Unfortunately, the college doesn't arrange internships for us, so we have to find them on our own.
Campus: The college has good facilities that match the fees. There's no Wi-Fi on campus, but they have a big library, classrooms, labs, seminar hall, and common rooms for boys and girls. Unfortunately, there's no hostel. The canteen food is tasty and clean.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful. They really prep us for the industry. The semester exams are a bit tough, but the syllabus is manageable. Lots of students pass with flying colors. Our teachers also help us improve our language and communication skills a lot.
Placement: In our batch, we have about 36 students, and there are 40 students in each batch. The highest salary package is between 8 to 9 LPA, while the lowest is 3.5 LPA. Companies like Deloitte, TCS, Capgemini, and KPMG come for placements for economics and statistics students. They offer roles in technical, customer service, software development, and marketing.
Campus: The college has great facilities like seminar halls, classrooms, library, and 4 big buildings. The food and medical services are good, and there's a nice basketball court and a big green field. The canteen serves healthy food, and there are water dispensers on every floor and corridor.

Admission: I really like the teachers at Presidency College. They're super nice, smart, and know a lot. They really make us think and talk about important stuff in political science. The classes are great and get us ready for jobs. The exams are tough but not too bad. Lots of students pass, like half of us.
Placement: About half of the BA Political Science students get placed after graduation. The highest salary is around 6-7 lakhs per year, the lowest is around 2-3 lakhs, and the average is 3-4 lakhs. Popular recruiters are NGOs, research companies, and think tanks. Around a third of students land internships at places like PRS. Common job titles are policy analyst, research associate, and public relations officer.
Campus: The college has great facilities like modern classrooms, a big library, and good WiFi. The campus is lively and good for studying. The hostel rooms are nice, and the food in the mess is okay with lots of choices. They have medical help on campus, and they encourage sports like cricket and basketball, making it fun to be a student here.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They really know their stuff and are always there to help. The course sets you up well for further studies, but you can also go into human resources with some extra courses. They even offer internships in digital marketing. The professors are super supportive and have impressive qualifications. It's a great program if you're thinking about going into research later on. Plus, there are loads of seminars you can go to. Great place to learn!
Placement: This college is great for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. or higher courses. However, if you're not into academics, it might not be the best fit. They provide opportunities to work with NGOs through NSS and have internship programs in digital marketing.
Campus: The college has decent infrastructure for the semester fee we pay. The food in the canteen could be improved. Medical facilities are okay, and there are lots of sports opportunities available.

Admission: The course curriculum follows the new CBCS format, which is great. The teachers are really smart. We cover 20 different subjects over 6 semesters. The first four semesters mix general courses with honors classes. In the last two semesters, we have 2 practical papers each. These papers help us learn stuff like academic writing, doing surveys, and giving presentations. It's a good setup!
Placement: At our college, they don't help with placements. But you can look for jobs off-campus, do a master's degree, or even try competitive exams like UPSC. There are also chances to do some research here.
Campus: I really like our campus because we have basketball and badminton courts, along with football and cricket fields. There are two libraries here one for science students and one for art students. The libraries have lots of books and journals, but they're not online. We do have Wi-Fi on campus, though, so we can access paid journals. Sometimes, though, I couldn't find certain books in the library.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They really know their stuff and teach in a way that helps us understand everything better. The exams are kind of tough, but cramming at the last minute won't get you higher than a C or maybe a B.
Placement: I'm in the science stream and there are good placement chances available here. Unfortunately, the arts stream students like sociology or political science don't have as many opportunities. But I've heard from seniors that the placements are awesome and really beneficial for students.
Campus: The classrooms and library are awesome! They're super organized and help us learn in a fun way. The canteen food is mostly good, but some items like rolls are a bit too oily.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and are super helpful. They guide us well. The courses set us up for research and future studies. Exams are tough but doable. Great place to grow intellectually.
Placement: After finishing the B.Sc. course, there's no placement support. But about 70% of students manage to get internships at places like IAS or other institutes. The 4-year UG course now requires an internship, but they make sure it doesn't clash with our studies. They also organize workshops and seminar talks. They really help us prepare for exams like GATE and JAM BT for M.Sc. admissions.
Campus: The labs are in good condition and there's a nice selection. The library has all the books we need. Wi-Fi is free for everyone. Both the boys' and girls' hostels are comfy. The girls even get a bus. The boys' hostel is close to campus. There are 2 canteens with yummy and cheap food. They really push all kinds of sports here.

Admission: The teachers were really smart, but some of them weren't very supportive. The course was awesome and they really wanted us to do well in research. The exams were super hard, and only about 40% of us passed. The college didn't really care about preparing us for jobs in the real world.
Placement: I took the geography course in college. Unfortunately, there weren't any job placements available for students in this program. It's a non-technical master's degree, so companies weren't really looking to hire from it. After finishing the course, some students got job offers from educational sites or companies that hire teachers.
Campus: I really liked the college and hostel setup. It's a government college with a cool 200-year history. The labs, classrooms, and Wi-Fi are top-notch. Plus, the library is awesome! Overall, the infrastructure here is way better than other colleges I've seen.
