Hey aspirant,

College life is all about studies and fun together in one frame in a balanced manner. As we all know we don't get that freedom at schools which we get in colleges. So at the very first beginning some students are just engaged in fun and they forget about their studies.I'm not saying you should not enjoy your college life. You just have to balance both the things equally. Talking about placement you have to secure atleast 7cgpa in your all semesters for a good package(4-6lpa). You can secure it easily if you be regular to your lectures and assignments nothing extra you have to do.

Now, talking about college politics, if you make a good impression on your teachers then definitely you'll be getting benefits in your internal marks.But if there's something wrong then you may lose some. But that doesn't really affect a lot.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.
