Remarks

This was the college my rank at WBJEE could offer best in Electrical Engineering. Faculty and Labs are above average and Fests and Events are the specialty of this college. Campus size isn't big and Placements are not good for Core Branches at all.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum followed is proposed by MAKAUT which is under AICTE, and whose syllabus is eternally 10 years behind. However the college is not to blame. Industrial Exposure is adequate and Workshops on various disciplines start right away from 1st Year. Pace of completion of syllabus is exactly how fast it should be, but is not competitive. Teachers do invest their energy in academics and try to keep it on track. Faculties are a mixture of good and bad teachers, and overall, its above average, thanks to the very few very good teachers.

Course Fees: INR 483000 per year

Placement Experience

2.5

I'm a second year so I don't have much idea on this but I've heard companies like TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro and Amazon do recruit students but primarily from CSE and IT branches. Vacancies are not enough, so is the placement. However, there are a startups in numbers and few of them are quite known. The Entrepreneurship Cell and the Placement cell just manage to do their work.

College Events

4.5

Fests and Activities are the speciality of this college. Events are organised very well, all through the year and the participation is numerous as well. The Tech Fest is a grand one and keeps getting better each year. The clubs are very well organized, thanks to the competent and helpful seniors.

Campus Life

Overall Infrastructure is quite good, thanks to the big library and well equipped and maintained labs. Classes are very spacious, and cleaned regularly. Toilet and Lift facilities are acceptable. Sports Facilities are above average and lacks proper management. Wifi is just for the sake of existence.

Hostel Facilities

I haven't opted for hostel because the college doesn't own it. The Hostel just has a tie up with the college and hencr isn't responsible for any issues of students. The hostel isn't good and safe as I've heard. However there are plenty of PGs and Flats of all qualities and prices, nearby and everywhere, as its Salt Lake.

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.

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.

Dislikes

Classrooms are sometimes overcrowded, the library has limited updated resources.
Placement support is minimal for courses like History.
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.
