Remarks

I wanted to choose teaching as my career and had an honours degree in Physics.I wanted to have the M.Sc. degree to dig further in the subject.Physics department is quite good in this university and it's almost half an hour from my house hence I chose this university.Most of the professors are very helpful.Labs are equipped with latest apparatus and old ones as well.The campus is spread in huge area and it's full of trees which is required for a sound body and mind.One can easily get most of the books recommended in the syllabus from the central library or the departmental library.They are also starting smart classes hopefully from next year.Canteen is awful, there are other eateries inside the campus.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Most of the syllabus is in sync with other universities.But there is no project work which can be bad for students pursuing PhD.Only 3 topics are available for elective study (Condensed matter physics,Nuclear physics and Electronics). Astrophysics, Nano-science, Photonics etc new topics are not available.We are not provided with any industrial exposure.Faculty members are very very helpful and friendly.It's always a great experience attending Professor Amitabha Mukherjee's class ( never missed any till now ).

Class Size: 46Course Fees: INR 12000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

I availed Swami Vivekanda Scholarship which is from the west bengal government.The amount of the scholarship is 30000 rs per annum.You need to get at least 53% in your previous exam to avail the scholarship.

Campus Life

4.5

There is 2 university grounds.inter department and inter university sports competition held every year.Volleyball ground,cricket ground,football grounds are there.Wifi is only available in hostel, not available in the department and the network reception is very poor inside campus.Central library is large and most of the recommended books can be easily found and many extra syllabus books also available. Departmental library also has a huge collection of books.Labs are equipped with old and new apparatus.

Faculties are amazingly qualified as well as friendly for solving your doubts
You get multiple opportunities for the industrial experience as internship. This institute provide amazing placement opportunities with high salaries.

Dislikes

The area of the campus is small leads to chaos. Which will be averted after shifting to new campus
Due to the small campus sitting places are very small
Hostel facilities and rooms are very poor.

Placement Experience:

2nd year students are eligible for the campus placement. Sai, Hetero, mendine, dr. Reddys etc companies visities for the campus placement. Offers ranges from 5-12 lpa. 60% students gets placed, 10% goes for higher studies and others get job off campus in my department. Other departments has 100% placement. My plans are pHd from Niper as it provides vast knowledge and instrumental exposure.

The Techno Experience

Likes

Practical Exposure with hands on training is always good for personal growth
The laboratories were well equipped with state of the art instruments
Entrepreneurship was encouraged and it really helped us with designing future start ups.

Dislikes

Lack of scholarships for the needy is one thing that needed to be worked on.
There was a distinct lack of encouragement to pursue extracurricular activity.
Sometimes it felt like it would have helped if we had a mental health counsellor onboard with the department.

Placement Experience:

Techno India University has a strong campus placement. Several students got jobs during the last semester, and I am one of them. Some others choose to wait for better opportunities. Some joined good startups. The package was nominal as we were all freshers. After getting my degree, I planned to pursue corporate experience and then join a lab for my PhD.

Comprehensive Review of MSc Life Sciences in Presidency University, Kolkata.

Likes

Well equipped laboratories with all necessary instruments and chemicals and whatever that is required. Even Electron microscope are available
Senior and Junior relationship is great, and PhD scholars often guide you in studies and in Life
Canteens, Playground, Books shops are near or inside the Campus with Department and Central Library with access to many books and online resources and WiFi

Dislikes

Politics is on peak since great colleges in india such as JNU are engaged in political activities
Attendance above 75 percent is mandatory to appear for exams
The duration of practical can be of 4-5 hours at a strech sometimes apart from Theory classes

Placement Experience:

Not all courses provides placements. But Placements are often common in departments such as Geology, for other departments, faculties can provide letters of recommendations and absorb as PhD scolars after PG completion and satisfactory performance

My thoughts on our beloved Sidho Kanho Birsha University.

Likes

The most I liked about my university is the infrastructure and availability of facilities for our studies.
Second thing I like are our professors . They help us in every aspect of our educational or personal life .
Third thing I like the most is my batchmates who gives me encouragement for pursuing my studies.

Dislikes

The university is a bit far from the Purulia city . So the connectivity is a problem.
I think if we get some extra hours of the lab facilities, that will be great.
Water purifier are available in some of the floors I think the number should be increased.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement of our university is quite good and it is getting better day by day. Especially our chemistry department is doing great in this field. Last year our dept almost hit 100% placements and the highest package was of 5 lpa. I am planning to peruse my PhD after MSc.

As it was a period of lockdown in 2020 I applied in colleges like Siliguri college of commerce , Salesian college siliguri, Goenka college kolkata and St joseph's college darjeeling which was my college. Unfortunately I could not make it to Goenka College of commerce Kolkata , But I did made it to salesian College Siliguri and Siliguri College of Commerce but Salesian college fees was way too high and Siliguri College of Commerce had very negative reviews as nothing was good there. Then I researched about St Joseph's College Darjeeling it had the best reputation in entire North Bengal and the fees was quite affordable Faculties were good and Infrastructure was also fine so I choose this college . I would have gone to other colleges if lockdown was not there....Read More

My college life

I apply for other colleges also as I didn't get much facilities there like comprehensive studying library, canteens facilities, etc. I don't get rejection from the other colleges that I have applied the reasons behind not choosing those is the facilities that I didn't found . The admission process was online; we needed to fill out our details through portals, and there was a specific verification date when we called regarding the verification of our application. After that, if everything was okay, then our admission was confirmed. Then, after a few months, standalone admission was introduced in my college, which helped many students get their pending admission. The eligibility for this exam was 12 pass with a minimum 50 Percent from any of the West Bengal board. Almost all the exams liked by students because of its teaching styles....Read More
