Admission: The teachers here are pretty good, but they're always busy because this is a distance learning university. The vibe on campus is nice, but the teaching style is more self-paced. The course material is a bit outdated for today's tech world.
Placement: This college is pretty good, but they don't offer many job placements. Since it's an open university, there aren't a lot of chances for placements. The university does have some placement events, but it's not very frequent. They could do a better job of keeping students informed about placement opportunities.
Campus: The course at the university is good, but the study materials could be better. They don't offer video classes, but the classrooms are decent. The library is nice, but it's mainly for interns, not regular students.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome and really supportive. The classes teach us what we need to know for work. Exams aren't too hard as long as you put in some effort. You just need to get 33% to pass, so it's doable if you study.
Placement: Most students get placed based on their skills like 90% of them. Big companies like Hyatt, Radisson, and Taj hire here. Lots of students also get internships at places like Taj, Firn, Oberoi, and Hyatt. I heard some even become Managers! It's a good place for getting job opportunities.
Campus: The campus has great facilities like labs, spacious classrooms, a cozy library, and Wi-Fi everywhere. The food in the mess is delicious they offer yummy dishes like rajma, dal, and gulab jamun.

Admission: The teachers were really great - they knew their stuff and helped us a lot. The course was top-notch and prepared us well for the industry. We had some tricky questions to practice with, which was cool. It helped us improve our grades too.
Placement: Our course didn't have any placements or salary packages. Even though there were top recruiting companies, students weren't offered any job roles. We couldn't get any internships either, so the university needs to improve on this. They should definitely provide more placement opportunities for students. No job roles were offered at all.
Campus: The facilities for our course at college were pretty good. We had labs, classrooms, and a library. They also had medical services and sports facilities. Everything was good, but the library needed more books for our course. Hope they improve that soon.

Admission: The teachers at this college are really nice and know their stuff. I found the mass communication and management faculty super helpful. They guide us with projects, seminars, and workshops. The course content is spot on and gets us ready for the real world.
Placement: I really like Uttarakhand Open University for its great education. The M.A in mass communication has awesome placement opportunities. Last year, a bunch of students landed cool jobs in various media companies.
Campus: The facilities at this college are okay. Since it's not private, some facilities are lacking. The campus doesn't have Wi-Fi, and there aren't separate labs for each department. But the mess and canteen are good.

Admission: The teachers at this college are super helpful. They really know their stuff and give us interesting assignments. They use projectors to teach, which makes things clear for us. The student-teacher ratio is a bit high at 70:1. The only downside is that they teach in English, so if you're from a Hindi medium background, it might be tough to follow. But overall, the course content is practical and helpful.
Placement: The job placement for hotel management at UIT is great. They base it on your internships in the third and fifth semesters. If you do well in your internship, you're pretty much guaranteed a good job. The highest salary offered is 3.6 Lacs, which is awesome. Last year was good, but it's even better now after two years. The lowest salary is 1.8 Lacs. Around 70% of students get jobs here, which is cool. The placement cell really supports students and helps them improve their communication skills.
Campus: UIT has a great setup in Uttarakhand. Lots of students from different states come here to study. They offer 24/7 Wi-Fi, medical help, and a gym for hostel students. You can play games as per the schedule. The college has 11 libraries. Hostel rooms are comfy with heaters for winter. The canteen serves fresh food at cheap rates.

Admission: The teachers here are really great. They know their stuff and are always ready to help. The courses are spot on and get us ready for the real world. Only thing is, I wish we had more workshop days.
Placement: The college doesn't help with placements, but the teachers are really supportive. We rely on our own connections to land jobs at media companies. Starting salaries are around Rs. 10,000-15,000 each month. There are lots of aspiring journalists at UOU, including students from different states.
Campus: I really like that our college has its own radio studio called Hello Haldwani. The library is pretty good too. Since the university offers distance education, we don't really need hostels or other facilities. Plus, there's a canteen right on campus, which is convenient. It's a new university, but it's got some cool stuff going on!

Admission: The teachers are really nice and always ready to help when you reach out to them. The staff members are friendly too. The courses are interesting, but some of the material feels a bit old-fashioned compared to what's used in the industry now. It's a good university overall, but they could update the study materials a bit. The faculty is great too!
Placement: The university doesn't help much with job placements. They talk about placements in some courses but don't give clear details to students. Since it's a distance learning university, it's okay. It's a decent university overall, but not great for getting jobs after graduation.
Campus: The practical rooms are great. The university is online-based, so you can't go to classrooms. But the main campus is really nice and has all the facilities of a high-tech university. Teachers have Wi-Fi, but students don't.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They know their stuff and have tons of experience. The courses are practical and get us ready for the real world. But man, those exams are tough! Only about half of us pass.
Placement: Our course at college has a good 87% placement rate. The highest salary is 12 LPA, the lowest is 5.4 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. Lots of yoga companies come to hire, over 20 of them! We even get a chance to do a yoga internship. It's a great opportunity for us students.
Campus: The college I go to has awesome facilities. The management is top-notch. We get free Wi-Fi, which is great. The classrooms are big and equipped with Smart Class. They're air-conditioned and nicely furnished. The hostel has good facilities too, like electricity and a mess/canteen.

Admission: The teachers at our college are really helpful, qualified, and know their stuff. They make learning enjoyable. They're always there to support us. The course content is practical and prepares us well for the real world. The exams are challenging but not impossible. On average, about 80-90% of students pass their exams.
Placement: I believe around half of the students from our college get placed. I'm not sure about the salary packages, but I think there are good opportunities for hotel management students. Around 15-20% of us got internships through our courses. I'm not familiar with the names of the companies hiring from our college.
Campus: The college has good facilities and infrastructure. I don't know much about the hostel since I live off-campus. The canteen is small, though. They also have sports facilities which is cool.

Admission: The course curriculum was on point, and the exam questions were quite similar to what we learned. I didn't really talk to the teachers because we didn't have any classes. We mostly study on our own at home without much contact with the staff.
Placement: I took a part-time course at this university. They don't have placement services or internship programs, but around 800-900 students were in the same course as me.
Campus: The college's infrastructure wasn't great. The exam centers were in bad shape. Also, the books given by the university were in Hindi, which didn't help students who wrote exams in English.
