Bidhannagar College Kolkata, BA {Hons.}, English

Reviewed on Aug 21, 2020

Remarks

The primary reason of opting BA - Eng Honours is my super fascination for english language and literature from class 9 or 10. After that, I chose this college because this is one of the best colleges under State University and the college campus is majestic. The best point of the college is the Students' Union and it is something I like most about the college. The Union is very supportive and dedicated towards the students no matter what is the ideology.

Course Curriculum Overview

According to my opinion, the course curriculum for BA - English (Honors) made by the State University is very scientific and process-oriented. Students can learn and gain knowledge systematically. Elements of this course have been evenly distributed among the three years. The faculties are exceedingly qualified and hold degrees from international Universities as well. But there are only four faculty members and out of them 2 members are highly scholar though they did not offer sufficient education. My favourite faculty members are Siddhartha Dey and Topomoy Dey (HOD).

Class Size: 48Course Fees: INR 4000 per year

Placement Experience

0.5

As far as I am concerned with my department, the college has hardly any scope of placements and job opportunities for the students of BA - English (Honors). But I am not aware about the other departments.

College Events

After spending three years campus life, I am satisfied and excited too. Every year good amount of cultural programmes are organized by our college such as Independence Day, Saraswati Puja, Teachers' Day, Cultural Fest, Language Day etc. The students who wish to go on with various extracurricular activities are welcome by our college. I have participated all of them since 1st year and the two events Cultural College Fest and Independence Day are celebrated in a large manner.

Campus Life

We have premium campus infrastructure being a government college. Each and every year Annual Sports are organized in our campus ground. The college has wifi in the students' section but not meant to use for the students. The library is very much spacious and well furnished having more than enough collection of books although it would have been more satisfying and premium. We have our two buildings and the newly established second building is 6th floor high. We have well decorated and kept up Auditorium, Seminar room and Council Room etc.

Faculty is serious and everything happens on time with proper functioning.
I liked the food of my hostel Raman abas that's unique because hostel generally provide average food.
I liked my batchmates, seniors and my hostel mates. They're just love.

Dislikes

The hostel and faculty infrastructure is very old need replacement asap.
Rural location of colleges so urban access of blinkit,zomato etc is unavailable.
Placement numbers here is too short university need to work on that.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Honestly, I was preparing for neet but after neet i was very clear that i want to do this(Agriculture). Practical cum theory approach here will make you a awared man in this field. Placements and Governments seats after UG is very competitive although. In upcoming future everyone will going to focus on larger production in limited land/cultivation area so Agriculture will be needed today and tomorrow.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

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.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.
