Admission: The teachers here are really knowledgeable with Ph.D. degrees. They're good at teaching, but they don't give us enough study notes. We have six semesters in three years, each with a final exam. Passing them is pretty easy.
Placement: As a physics student at this college, I've noticed that there aren't a ton of job opportunities since it's a government college. But some departments do have campus interviews. We also get some perks from the Nan Mudhalvan Scheme. I've heard of students getting placed in cool places like ISRO, NASA, and other science research programs. It's pretty exciting stuff!
Campus: The college's infrastructure isn't great because it's a government college. But we do have some good stuff like smart classes in our department. And for those who live far away, there's also a hostel available.
