NBU, MA, Sociology

Reviewed on Jul 20, 2020

Remarks

I completed my undergraduation in Sociology from North Point college and the nearest University which offered a master's degree was NBU and it's reputation refarding sociology was good enough to make my decision.

Course Curriculum Overview

The faculty was not well balanced as we had an hod who i beleive was underqualified to be a college professor although the syllabus was properly covered and we were being engaged in other co curricular activities such as working and interning in NGO's such as Marg, Wat etc which gave us a good idea about our subject in reality.

Class Size: 43Course Fees: INR 20000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I interned for a Ngo named Marg which is based in Darjeeling and there was no stipend as such but our transportation and food cost was given to us, that too very limited.

Placement Experience

0.5

Our department had no such placement and job opportunities and most students opted for net to become lectures in the near future which is a very big downfall of our course as even after completing the course most of our seniors are unemployed and are now preparing for Government services and NET.

College Events

1.5

The campus Life is good enough as i lived in the University hostel but the drawback was that the student council was full of goons who indirectly ran the college and there were no such big events which took place as the university didn't fund the committee's properly and even if they did, the student council goons would take away the money and use it for their purpose.

Campus Life

The campus of NBU is probably one of the biggest campuses a university has in India as the campus is in Matigara which has lot of greenery. There is a playground where students play games and sports. I don't know much about labs as i wasn't science students and didn't visit any lab but our department building was very old and the infrastructure was not appealing at all which made me think twice before joining the University, otherwise everything infrastructure wise is top notch.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel was a room one and four people had to share a room, the rents were very low as NBU is a government funded University and the availability of hostel is good as most students opt for rents or pgs.

Hostel Fee: INR 1000 per year

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.

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.

Likes

The campus is big and full of greenery with the vibrant feel of nature.
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.

Likes

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.

St Joseph's college a Decent one

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
