Course Curriculum Overview

For the course syllabus of all the UG level and PG level courses along with the certification course the college relies on the guidelines and instructions from the Calcutta University. As per the rules semester wise division of the program is done where whereby semester examinations are held two times in a year.

Fee Structure And Facilities

My B.A course total fee was Rs 30000, which was to be paid on a semester basis. The fee structure was expensive for me but the facilities they provided us were exceptional. and our college is also provide scholarship.

Campus Life

3.5

In our campus life there are not much extra curricular activities for event celebration are done in our college. However we celebrate the Durga puja, annual festival, national day like Republic Day are celebrated on our campus. We have good computer labs and different other labs

Admission

I have been selected directly in this college based on my profession at the class 12th.My mask was 85% marks in 10 + 2 you and I have filled the application form of this college. My application was accepted and the documents were verified and this college is corporate and also so it is 50 years old college in our area that is why I recommend to take admission in this college

Faculty

The faculty of our college is quite skilled and highly qualified with experienced.When student has any problem in learning they can directly contact to our faculty.They are highly qualified and they are much experienced and educated. They also encourage students to work hard.

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.

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

Classrooms are sometimes overcrowded, the library has limited updated resources.

There is limited digital access - poor wi-fi Connectivity and lack of e-library facilities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant and theory-rich, ideal for further academic pursuits like UPSC and PSC. I chose History Honours for its analytical depth. Exams are semester-based, moderate tough. Teaching can improve with more discussions and digital learning tools.
