Reviewed on Apr 24, 2020

Remarks

My college is my favorite. I like the name of my college because it is related to the great Chemist Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy who has contributed huge amounts of his hard work for the betterment of the science. The college is best Bachelor Degree college

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

It's good because it's a practical based subject so I love it. Both theory classes and practicals are done according to syllabus provided by the North Bengal University and it's interesting because it's all about the study of plants all around us. The syllabus is in best pattern for the honors studies

Placement Experience

0.5

As our college is not a professional college so there's no availability for jobs. Our college is for the graduation degree college so after completion of thouree years of studies we become graduates which provides a gateway for the higher studies like M.Sc, B.Ed etc

College Events

4.5

Our college is located in a good environmental area where the each cultural festivals are celebrated with the participation of entire college students teachers and other staffs. Celebrations like holi and others are celebrated with a good taste which are organized by the college students union

Fee Structure And Facilities

Around Rs.1500 per semester excluding other expenses. There is contribution for department's program and other college programs. The fees for the students union is Rs.150 for each year. The other contributions like for department's excursions are made under the advisory of teachers which is reasonable to pay

Fees and Financial Aid

Our college is a government and it provides scholarships for us. I'm getting the the West Bengal Minority Scholarship which is Rs.5700 per year and it helps me allot because I pay the semester's fee from this scholarship.

Campus Life

4.5

We have a good playing environment around our college. There we can play volleyball, basketball and badminton etc on our choices. The extracurricular activities like social work, awareness programs and topic based debate and quizzes are held frequently

Hostel Facilities

4.5

I stay in rent about 4km far away from my college. It costs me Rs.3500 per month excluding travel expenses. Altogether it's around Rs.4500 per month. The rental system has it's own rules and regulations which should be followed especially by the students

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

No such kind of negative behavior has ever happened with me instead I have learned many good things as a student and it encourages me for my further studies which I have planned to success in life. Everything provide good knowledge and support during the college duration

Admission

First I filled up the online application form and after 20 days merit list for eligible students for counseling came out then I came for counseling on the given date which was informed thourough sms on my number. During counseling the respective department checked our academics certificate and then enrolled my name as joint student

Faculty

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.
