Remarks

Pros:The teachers very very helpful and friendly. Loans and scholarships available. Faculties are highly qualified. Infrastructure is awesome. Cons: no placement. No stipends There wasn’t any hostel facility. Canteen could be developed.

Course Curriculum Overview

During my session. The course was yearly course at that we used to study along the year. Now it has been changed to CBCS (Choice Based Credit System i.e Semester System) curriculum which is also pretty relevant. I hope our juniors are enjoying this curriculum

Placement Experience

As our College is a simple degree College, it used to arrange some job fair, seminars but placements are really rare for College honestly. As there was not any opportunity to go to any internship, there was no stipend

College Events

Teachers' Day. Annual Sports. Annual Award Giving Ceremon. Cultural events on Rabindra Jayanti i.e Tagore’s Birthday. Vasanta Utsav. Saraswati Puja. Independence Day. Inter College debate competition. Inter College cricket tournaments. Inter College football tournaments.

Fee Structure And Facilities

As a semi government College, the fees structure was a little bit expensive. During admission. The admission fees was Rs. Five thousand and five hundred. And it used to take around ten thousand rupees every year.

Fees and Financial Aid

There was loan facility provided by Canara Bank which was attached with our College. There was many students from below poverty level families, they used to avail loans and many scholarships from College and government also.

Campus Life

3.5

During NAAC visit, the extracurricular activities get pumped up. The students of every Department used to decorate their Departments beautifully. In the Laboratorie. There was no deficiency of anything, the labs are basically the second home to every student.

Alumni/Alumna

The senior students are extremely helpful to the juniors, they used to help us during assignments and projects and also they helped us DURING practical classes. The Relationship between the Seniors and the Juniors was like siblings.

Admission

The College releases admission form after higher secondary result, every year and so i filled up the form after few days my name was published on the merit list of my College. Thus i got admission in vjrc

Faculty

They are extremely friendly and damn helpful and also during the classes, they kept their constant assistance intact, specifically during practical classes. They were also extremely qualified in their subject. Always cleared our confusion and doubt on subject.

Scottish Church College: A Journey Worth Remembering

Likes

Fixed timetable Classes, regular assessment and class test
The professors are very qualified and their teaching style is excellent.
A lot of books are available in the main library as well as in the department library

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum of Calcutta University is aligned with other entrance examination (eg.IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, GATE etc.) Specially for the Physics BSc course. And the syllabus is updated Artificial intelligence bacis, Python Advance level is in syllabus, it's completed in college. Point to be Noted - The time given to prepare for the exam is sometimes ample but sometimes it is very less. So we have to prepare syllabus in time which is little bit frustrating.

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.

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.

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.

My experience as a student of Vijaygarh Jyotish Ray College

I liked the lab in this college that's why I chose this. Compared to other colleges this college had nice labs, had a good name, have had heard the faculty was nice hence chose this. In other colleges either the distance was a problem or the timing of the shifts. They post admission lists on the college official website. If you take admission based on your list you have to pay around 19k at first. If you wish to change your mind later, the college returns your money. I applied to Lady Brabourne College, Scottish Church College, Presidency University, Asutosh College out of many other colleges. I chose my college because of the lab and highly qualified faculty. Apart from that when the merit list was out in some of these colleges, I had already taken admission in my college. I didn't get any rejection. The issues were related to distance, lab, faculty or time of merit list. You are eligible based on your 10+2 results. All board exams are accepted. Cutoff 70%.

No. Most people have to sit down and decide whether college is worth wilde for them. Attending college can have many positive and negative effects. A few negative effects are debt, partying, sexual assault, missing family and friends, and stress. Positive effects are he/she gets a degree, makes new friends, becomes more diverse, most likely gets a good job after graduating, and helps he/she to become more independant and grow as an individual....Read More
