Basanti Devi College Kolkata, B.Com

Reviewed on May 29, 2020

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is very good. Every topic is taught in detail. Doubts lectures and guidance lectures are also conducted. Even exams like class test are also taken in a week to enhance students learning. Exam structure is outstanding. Units exam are conducted after every 3 months. Semester exam at the end of every 6 months and then again a final terminal examination. Open house for evaluation of students annual reports with parent meeting is also conducted.

Placement Experience

3.5

It is a graduation college, so not much preference is given to placements. However, big companies visit here for placements like Deloitte, KPMG and EandY. The highest salary package offered for B.Com is 5 LPA, but I don't have an idea about the lowest salary package offered. Roles offered were analytical, marketing, technical and digital.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is very feasible. You have to get in the merit list to get admission. Otherwise, there is no other option to take admission. Fees are very less starting from 500 to 6000. Easily affordable for every parent's pocket.

Campus Life

The infrastructure of the college was amazing with the excellent building. Facilities provided were also good. Wi-Fi was available on the campus, and the speed was amazing. The library was good with a bunch of new books. Classrooms were huge and clean. Canteens were good, and the quality of the food served was also good, and they charged a reasonable price. Medical facilities and sports were available on campus.

Alumni/Alumna

Yes, they are very helpful. They always guide their Juniors and give them an opportunity to expand and express themselves. They help their Juniors in increasing their self-confidence and skills. One can get very help from them.

Admission

Admission to the UG and PG courses are completely based on the merit of the students. The merit list will be uploaded on the college website. The selected candidates need reach the college on the specified date of admission as per the college website.

Faculty

4.5

Teachers in our college were helpful, and they are well qualified and graduated from international universities. They work hard for students. Teaching quality was excellent. The course curriculum was relevant, and it makes student industry-ready.

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.

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.

Buliding a strong Foundation for higher studies and PSC preparation

Classrooms are sometimes overcrowded, the library has limited updated resources.
Placement support is minimal for courses like History.
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.
