There are many things a student needs to compare before taking admission to a college.
Certain parameters are important to decide on the final college, which are as follows-
1. Accreditation
Colleges accredited by institutions like NAAC, NBA, and NIRF are considered to be amongst the best institutions.
Before taking admission, check whether it is a highly rated institution or not. The top 50 NIRF institutions are considered to be the best, as well as A-grade NAAC institutions.
2. Placement statistics
Before taking admission, you should have a look at the placement trends and numbers for past years.
Have a look at the companies visiting the college to hire. Check whether the top companies of the country are visiting the college or not.
3. Infrastructure
Institutions with good infrastructure and good facilities like laboratories, library, Wi-Fi, hostels, and sports facilities are generally preferred.
Institutions with good research equipment and laboratories perform well on research statistics.
4. Fees
Check whether the institution is charging an excessive fee or not. Compare the fees charged by other institutions that are similarly placed in the industry. Calculate the return on investment offered by the institution.
5. Extra-Curricular & Campus Environment
Look at the activities conducted in the institution and see whether your extracurricular interests will be served or not.
Have a look at the societies and clubs formed at the institution.
6. Reviews
Before taking admission in an institution, do not forget to check the reviews about the institution. Talk to the alumni of the college to know about the institution in more detail.
7. Location
Institutions located in proximity to industrial hubs perform better in terms of industrial connections and internship opportunities.
Students get a chance to interact with the real-world industry to gain experience.
8. Faculty
Good teachers are what make an institution great. Get yourself familiarised with the teachers teaching at that institution and know about the teaching style beforehand.
9. Specialisation
It is very important to check if the specialisation you wish to pursue is offered by the college or not. Here, you might have to make a choice between the college brand value or specialisation of your choice.
