Review

In my experience, this college does not offer internships. The primary focus of the institution is to provide top-quality education and produce well-qualified individuals, which is why internships are not part of the curriculum. I chose this course because I had planned to pursue it since school, and this college offers the best faculty, with all the teachers holding Ph.D. degrees. During my time here, I have met some wonderful people, including my best friend. The library facilities, fee structure, and examination process are all very good. The teaching methods are also excellent, with polite and approachable teachers who make learning enjoyable. What I really like about this college is the peaceful environment it maintains, and the teachers are truly dedicated. Before I joined, I had heard that the placements at this college were excellent, and I am happy to say that the reputation is well deserved.
