Sivanath Sastri College Kolkata, BA {Hons.}, Economics

Reviewed on Jul 20, 2020

Remarks

It is close to my Home. It has good Faculty. It's a morning college so it suited my schedule. With my boards marks I didn't get selected in too many colleges for Economics Hons. Among the ones I got selected in, this college seemed the best option. This is a mainly Commerce based college where faculty for Economics is also renowned. Traveling is easy.

Course Curriculum Overview

Too less professors in the Economics dept to teach Honours papers, but the professors present are good. Two experienced senior teacher helped throughout. I am a student from 1+1+1 system (one exam per year), so attendance wasn't that big of an issue in our case, but with the new semester system, the college is more strict and disciplined.

Class Size: 24

Internships Opportunities

I've been a Campus Rep at Viacom18 for a year. A Campus Ambassador at TinderU. A Team Leader at the Woovly Campus Ambassador Program, where we used to get incentives per month. I'm currently the Community Manager at GROOVE X, which is an artist and Event Management Company.

Placement Experience

0.5

I don't know about any placements offered by our college. I don't think our college offers anything of that sort. Our General Secretary started an Event Management Company of her own which is doing well.

College Events

Our college holds internal functions, no inter college festivals are organised. The biggest event organised is our College Socials. Other than that we have a holi festival, Freshers, Annual Prize Day, sports day, Teachers' day and Independence day functions.

Campus Life

Infrastructure quality is poor. Cleanlines is an issue. Library is good. There's no lab. There's a common room where teams practice for extra curricular activities, but it's not clean. The ground ain't suitable to practice sports that comfortably. There's greenery in the campus. It looks good in the morning light. Canteen is average. Classrooms are mostly spacious.

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.

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.
