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.

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.

College is under Ramakrishna Mission so you can imagine the discipline. Fully disciplined college no ragging.
Good . You have to balance with disciplined college.
Faculties are highly qualified and interactive. You can just go to teachers room and ask questions as school.

Dislikes

Full attendance i don't like so much. You have to attend all seminar s

Course Curriculum Overview:

Completely relevant. As the college is autonomous it has its own syllabus. Which matches with the net gate jam exam syllabus. When someone came our college for seminar they strange that we know this much. Exam are quite difficult in 2 months interval.

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.

In case of computer science department, placement is provided at the Last year of M.sc course. Many companies like Wipro, b10x, Tata visited here. Highest package ever is three lakh per annum. 20-40% of the students got placement after completing M.Sc computer science. My plan after B.sc is to pursue MCA.

We are having highly qualified faculties having practical exposure and they are friendly guide to us as well

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.

Need of more classrom or a new building for students

Course Curriculum Overview:

B.Sc Computer Science Faculty: Student ratio is = 4:23 may vary a bit Faculty are well Qualified & Teaching method is okay good, but not to the mark like very good or excellent. The exam term was timely (sometimes it gets a bit late due to some natural disaster like cyclone, heavy rainfall, etc or any govt. & university delays), and the exam level is nearly too difficult, something like in between moderate to difficult.

Beyond the brochure: The Real Bethune

I had applied for Ashutosh College and got admitted too but then I got to know that Ashutosh is all about politics, no regular classes nothing, full of raggings and toxicity. I personally didn't felt safe there and then I applied for Bethune, one of the top government women colleges in Kolkata with best teaching faculty and zero ragging or goons and no politics. It was a centralised admission portal and I want actually totally unaware about it. So I mistakenly jumbled my preference list. I placed the college wrongly and I put Ashutosh at following by Maulana Azad college. And being the number one of the preference list, I got Ashutosh and there was no way of downgrading. So I cancelled the admission there and then waited for mop up round and this time, i applied for Bethune college at first and got myself there. Cut-off here remains high all the time, and not everyone gets admitted here. Cut-off is actually 75% but only those who are above 85% gets admitted here....Read More

Why you should not get here

I applied many colleges under CU like Ashutosh College, Jaipuriya College, Scottish Church, Sister Nivedita, Behala. But I choose Bethune as it was convenient for me. Also, Behune is one the finest colleges during ancient times. It's very reputated college there. No, I didn't get rejected in all the mentioned ones except for the Ashutosh college. I had my family friends near Bethune College so it was convenient for me. The eligibilty criteria is same which is mentioned in their website. You must uave scored more than 60% in your intermediate. And your top three subjects will be reviewed then they'll select as per the marks. You don't have to give any exams. Once you applied from their site, your name will appear in their merit list. After final merit list, you'll be called for document verification and after verifying documents, you'll get admission. (Remember, all the admission procedure is online)...Read More

Green, scenic campus and wholesome College experience

One has to score at least 60% overall in Class 12 boards and at least 60% in English to be eligible for the course. The application form can be found by registering on the admissions website (Bethune admissions.ac.in). The application dates will be updated on the college website (Bethune college.ac.in). The application process was smooth and glitch-free but in the future, I hope a separate entrance test is held instead of just considering the percentages obtained on the 12th boards....Read More
