Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is great as it is affiliated by university of Calcutta. It is more research based and helps in grasping in depth knowledge of the subjects . overall , the exams have a hard level ,so one really needs to study in this college.

Placement Experience

2.5

the placements are not very much in the college. most of the students here , go for further further studies rather than starting jobs.internships are not currently available here, but the university of Calcutta usually organizes job fairs.

Fee Structure And Facilities

the college is very feasible in terms of fees. provided the various facilities of the college, the fees are very minimal. My whole degree has a fee of less than 10,000, which is great for all the environment and opportunities.

Campus Life

their are not very much extra curricular activities celebrated here. the big festivals like durga puja, diwali, republic day catch the vibe here. annual function is held here and many times college fairs and fests are also celebrated.

Alumni/Alumna

the alumni network is not that strong here ,but the seniors are very helpful , they help us with the studies and discuss about the further system . to be honest , most of the people here are polite and helpful.

Admission

I got admission in this college through my marks in the examination in the higher secondary .The admission is merit based and one needs to have a decent percentage in 12th to get admission here. the applications can be submitted online and then if selected the remaining process is easy.

Faculty

The faculty of this college is fine in terms of being supportive and are helpful. they give great guidance and motive us. Some of them are average in knowledge but most are great and ready to help whenever needed.

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

Dislikes

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.
