Remarks

This answer may vary from person to person but I personally am genuinely happy with my college experience and I am looking forward to my final year. (This 200 characters limit is going to kill me. Just kidding)

Course Curriculum Overview

The college is under MAKAUT and the media syllabus of the university is pretty advanced and up to date. There are continuous assessment exams every month and semesters every 6 months. In every semester there r 2 internal assessment papers the marks of which are added on the Semester marksheets.

Placement Experience

Yes the college does provide internships. At our level, the opportunities mostly include unpaid internships at PR firms and media agencies. There are also filmmaking and Editing related jobs that we are exposed to.

College Events

Ad Adda: It's an advertising and PR event where we pitch our ideas in front of Stalwarts of the industry. World Theatre Day: Since media studies are closely related to Theatre, we celebrate world theatre day with our own production. Teachers Day: Cultural Event organised by students HAFF (Heritage Academy Film Festival) - Filmmaking event where budding filmmakers from top instituitions participate to showcase their work. Epignosis: Annual fest of the college.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structure is expensive but it is worth it as the college provides us with the facilities that most other colleges don't have which includes our very own television studio where we can produce our very own productions.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college does not actually provide any such facilities at least not that I am aware of. This 200 characters limit is very disturbing. Sorry for writing lame things at the end of the answers but seriously I have nothing else to do.

Campus Life

4.5

There are college sports teams for Cricket Football and Tug off war. There is a singing club, a dance club, a college fashion team and our own theater group. We have a MAC lab and we have a Hi-tech television studio for professional use and experience.

Hostel Facilities

I have not opted for hostel but my friends are quite satisfied with the facilities and infrastructure. I really do not have much idea about the hostel but I am just continuing to type since 200 characters is a compulsion.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The seniors are really helpful and friendly. In my 2 years in college never has anyone ever spoken rudely to me. Our seniors always look out for us and help us in times of confusion and distress. In Heritage all of us work together and make things happen.

Admission

My friend recommended me the college. I went to the administration office with all the requided documents. I was directly interviewed by the Dean of the department and my admission was confirmed 3 days later.

Faculty

The faculty is very friendly and helpful. The primary focus of the faculty is to teach without wasting time unlike other instituitions I have witnessed and they do a pretty good job of doing so. We have minimal holidays and our curriculars are given much more importance than the extracurriculars.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

A GLANCE AT ONE OF THE BEST WOMAN'S COLLEGE: SISTER NIBEDITA GENERAL DEGREE COLLEGE FOR GIRLS

Likes

I like the campus , it is quite huge and green , the canteen has both cooked and packed food available, a seperate common room for students and many sports equipment available. Several functions are arranged along with international conferences held
All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Likes

I like the facilities available including air conditioner, lab equipments, projector screen for slideshow, canteen and overall the campus
I also appreciate the faculties because they have studied in highly reputed institutes and undoubtedly teach the best.
I like how the college focuses not only on academics but also on co curricular. Sports, cultural functions, workshops are held frequently. It keeps the students engaged in fruitful activities

Dislikes

I do not like the multidisciplinary courses that we have to study in the first year making it little burdened for the students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is very relevant as it provides us an overall knowledge of biology and not dividing it into various sections rather giving us an insight of every aspect of biology. It includes everything such as microbiology, zoology, botany, physiology, molecular biology and so on.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Dislikes

Our college doesn't provide hostel facilities
Our college doesn't provide campus requirement drive

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.

A Great Learning Experience with a Vibrant Campus Life

I chose The Heritage Academy for its structured BCA program, experienced Faculty, and good infrastructure at an affordable cost. Its location within the city was also a key factor. ai applied to Techno India, Iem and Amity Kolkata - Techno India had mixed reviews and was slightly expensive - IEM highly competitive with strict cutoffs - Amity Kolkata the fee structure was too high Considering affordability and quality education, Heritage Academy was the best choice. Admission process:- - 12th pass with Mathematics/Computer science as a subject - Admission is based on CET score, but direct admission is also available for some seats - no fix cutoff, but 60% + student preference...Read More

Then through internet I found out heritage is one the best colleges in bengal for studying the BCA. The admission criteria of Heritage is quite simple, you need a minimum marks of 60 percentage in your 10th and 12th and you have to be eligible for their entrance exam CET.
