Remarks

I can say that Scottish Church College is a good college when compared with other colleges which is under Calcutta university. The teacher really focuses on you and they will try there best to keeping pushing you upward to score good grades.

Course Curriculum Overview

Bachelors degree doesn't give any focus on research as it is mostly focuses on a academic studies and the course structure is well structured which gives any student with no prior knowledge computer science can catch up. Also the exams are done periodically which at times becomes hetic but mostly i leave the day pretty chilled.

Placement Experience

2.5

This year(2021) compaines like amazon, Indigo, TCS, etc have come for placement and the fresher slalary is around 10,000 to 15,000 which is not an impressive salary but from a fresher point of view it is good.

College Events

4.5

There are various programmes thourough out the year like recently there was a seminar regarding World peace and it was an impressive seminar, there are also seminars related to chouristians and there is 3 big events that are Chouristmas programme where various Chouristian colleges are invited and the other two are Caledonia and union freshers.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Most courses are government aided except few courses like Bachelor's of Computer science, Bachelor's of business Administration, Bachelor's of Commerce, Bachelor's of Microbiology, Bachelor's of Botany, Bachelor's of Zoology.

Fees and Financial Aid

College offers studentship which is a scholarship provided by the college itself where students who come from a low-income background can apply for where the college bears some percentage of the course fee you have opted for.

Campus Life

3.5

There is a good gender ratio in the class, college hostels are also good as there are 3 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel which is close to the college walking distance of about 5~10 minutes depending on how fast you walk, students in the college have a diverse environment as there are students from diffrent states mainly Northeast, Jharkhand etc.

Hostel Facilities

I stay in a chouristian hostel which is not the part of the college, it is an independent hostel which is run by the Jesuits, fee structure is moderately cheap also there are discounts on hostel fee for students coming from a low-income family but the person have to speak with the warden regarding it. Infrastructure is fine and thd hostel where i stay has the best hostel ambience among all hostels when compared with hostels of the my college.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are friendly and good as they will help you if you approach them for help regarding studies, personal and to some extend financially but not all seniors are good as some just want to take advantage of the juniors in some way or the other but these type of seniors are less when compared with the students with who are helpful.

Admission

I wanted to study bachelor's in computer science whisch is near my my home place as i live in North Bengal. Since it is one of the reputed college which is affiliated to Calcutta University with good academic history that's why i chose this college.

Faculty

3.5

Most of them have done Master's in Computer Science and the teachers are really helpful to the students who seeks their help on a particular topic/s and will try there best to make you understand that topic.

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.

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.

I also applied to the main university but didn't get a chance there. That is why I had to take admission in this blasted institution. I received the rejected from the University due to my lack of percentage in the paper called marksheet. That is what went wrong. The admission process is completely done through the internet. To apply one must have a minimum of 60 % marks in their previous courses. That allows you to fill up the application form. Now to actually get admitted in the institution you must clear the cut off marks which differs year to year depending on the students that have applied....Read More
