Pailan College of Management and Technology Kolkata, B.Sc in Media Science

Remarks

Firstly, I found the subjects that I wanted to pursue were being taught here. Secondly, I had researched on the faculty and found out that they were industry professionals. Hence, I felt it would be best learning from the experts who were still on the field because of the fact that media industry is a very dynamic industry. The primary reasons why I opted for this course in this college.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is very dynamic to be precise. The curriculum is updated and the practical projects helped us have hands on experience on the different aspects of media and film making. Mentioning of the faculties, they are some of the best known people in media industry and we all have seen them and often see them on television. Our HoD is Mr. Kishore Bhimani and Mrs. Rita Bhimani, two of the most eminent personalities in the media industry.

Course Fees: INR 256000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I had opted for an internship in vh1. It was an unpaid one.

Placement Experience

Companies like Aaj Tak, India Today, 24ghanta, TCS, Wipro visit the campus for placements. The media industry seeks journalists. However, the placement cell can be more active.

College Events

3.5

The college holds a fresher's event where all the departments participate together and is usually headlined by some of the best artists in the country. The media department also holds a mega fest based on films called 'Moviected' where students from other colleges also participate. In 2017, 'Moviected' saw participants sending films from Portugal. There are also tech fests in the engineering departments, which sees participants from colleges all over the city.

Campus Life

The campus has an entire film studio floor where mainstream films of the Bengali film industry are shot frequently. The studio is totally accessible to the media students and it contains separate infrastructure for video editing, recording studio, a dance studio and all the other facilities that are required in the media production industry. The campus also has separate libraries in each of the departmental buildings with a huge and enriched collection of educational books based on the courses.

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.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

I like the campus , it is quite huge and green , the canteen has both cooked and packed food available, a seperate common room for students and many sports equipment available. Several functions are arranged along with international conferences held
All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Average Makaut college with no placements.

The admission process for the course was relatively straight forward, with a focus on extrance exams like JEE and WBJEE . These Exams served as primary criteria for admission, and the scores obtained were valid for application. To begin the application process, prospective students could find the application form on the official websites of the respective entrance exams. The application fees varied depending on the exam and the category of the applicant, with different rates for general and reserved categories. Overall, while the admission process for the course may have its strengths, such as the use of established entrance exams and relatively low cutoff scores, there is always room for improvement to enhance transparency, fairness, and the overall quality of the process....Read More
