Remarks

The college needed total revamp. The faculty of physiology and Zoology were of high standard. Extra curricular activities, Canteen were almost non-existent.

Entrance Preview

My poor grades in class XII forced me with no other option but to chose this college.i scored with 2nd division .it was much below than my own prior standard .considering i was star mark holder in class x Where i got 78%.

Course Curriculum Overview

3

Detailed , very big.It was unattractive CBSE/NCERT Produced much better books and syllabus. Considering future of students. Curriculum needed more practical approach to the current world. Not only bookish knowledge.

Internships Opportunities

Nothing in Botany honors, but yes I college internship after pursuing BLISc (Library& Information science)It was only 1200 Rs. at that time .:)but that internship experience helped gain a bright future , during future interviews .

Placement Experience

1

There was no placements . For job opportunities students need to depend on their effort and initiative. This is a big overalll question mark on our Education system, which produces so Many degree holders , but without job.

College Events

1

Culture fests do occurred during college but i could feel it was highly polarised with dominating one sided Students Union operating the whole show. I had later much better experience at TISS , MUMBAI .It opened my eyes to great Knowledge world.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure was moderate, but there were corruption in admission process though student union. There were loopholes in the process.Hopefully by now it would have been solved.

Fees and Financial Aid

No, there was as such nothing , good scholarship / loan facility offered by the college that i know.

Campus Life

2

Extracurricular activities, Canteen were almost non-existent. No sports facility except TT was there. Yes, only once I saw debates to be happening. Boring in a word, below average experience about the college. But I learned to acclimatise in different situation

Hostel Facilities

1

No hostel facilities was available.we have to rely for outside food in the absence of a proper canteen.

Alumni/Alumna

At my time there was no alumni network as such .I missed badly the college culture. The communication gap could be minimized by initiative towards open forums.

Exam Structure

Exams were conducted Under University of Calcutta. Exams were hectic indeed as the syllabus was too large and non -attractive compared to NCERT, CBSE (Which are highly valuable sources for inforamtion).CU lagged behind with old syllabus which was not in trend with current innovation .

Faculty

3

The faculty were far better and probably the only good point about the college. But that too, of zoology and physiology and Botany faculty were just OK.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
