Remarks

The college is affiliated to Calcutta university. And is really good for education of the students of minority communities. The campus is good. And allover college life here is great. I am experiencing worth remembering days here.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is well structured and researched as per the knowledge of a student of journalism. Also It's a Semistar system. And the course is vocational. It's really good course curriculum.

Placement Experience

2.5

My course is itself job oriented and vocational training course. So we have good opportunities after graduation for the jobs from here. The teachers also prepare us practically for the placements. to provide industrial training to us in the respective fields, the college has made alliance with many industries or factories in order to have practical experiences.

College Events

There are various events taken place throughout the year such as foundation day, annual sports, saraswati pooja is also done here. Also various events are celebrated throughout the year such as women's week etc..

Fee Structure And Facilities

The main goal of my college is to help the minority community for education as well as to those who are economically vulnerable. So the fees is very much feasible it's just Rs.6,075 Also fee concessions are also available for the minorities.

Fees and Financial Aid

My college do provide loans or concessions on even scholarships to the students who are of minority or are Acadamadically good. Or either are very vulnerable economically. General categories are also provided with scholarships in the basis of academic performance.

Campus Life

Various events as well as extracurricular activities are often conducted in my college as for the exposure, experience and improvement of students. And there are reserved seats for all the categories of students be it minority community or general. However there is no discrimination regarding Gender. Everyone is treated equally.

Admission

I got my admission here on the basis of my merit. You have to pass 10+2 with atleast 45% Online applications are been filled for the further procedure of admission. There are limited seats in every department. I chose journalism over any other course as I want to be a news reporter .

Faculty

3.5

The faculty is great. Well qualified as well as experienced in there particular fields. They try to make us explore things and help us improve our knowledge. They tell us how we should not hesitate in any circumstances if we are in journalism to speak on anything. It's really good to have such amazing teachers.

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.

One of the things i liked the most was the quality of lecture given by the professors
The campus is very spacious the college has every facility
A fully equipted studio and lab for Journalism students

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

The students of the same batch are friendly and helpful.
The teacher's are friendly and helpful. They do provide helpful recommendations for the betterment of your future.

Dislikes

The seniors are overly harsh when it comes to 1st year.
The infrastructure could be worked on. The college lacks renovation.
The hostel does require everyday cleaning and renovation as well as the campus.

Placement Experience:

I don't know much about this but I guess from the sixth semester the students are eligible for campus placements. This year a student from AEIE got a package of 11.2 lacs per annum and the average is around 4 lacs per annum.

The Framework is said to be great, with well equipped classroom and simply get to the libraries.
The offices at this college are great. In any case, these changes depending on the quality of the companies going by the college and the victory of the internship changes by the internship.
Understudies appreciate the campus life and flexibility to associate with others understudies. However, there are few impediments such as the division of floors between senior and junior. College life is nice and could be an inviting place for others

Dislikes

The college doesn't have lodging, and understudies must organize their settlement locally.
The college doesn't have a big field to play like any other big college

Placement Experience:

In Syamaprasad College placements and internships are given to the final year students. And the companies that offer placements are Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. The highest package goes up to 20-24 lakhs and the average package goes to 6-8 lakhs. 70-80% of students get their placement in my college. At that time I planned to get the degree and apply to a multinational company with a high salary package with company facilities.
