What Students Say

Likes

College Common Room. since we used to spend quality time with our friends.
Location of our college. Since it was located in the heart of the city, it was vey well connected to all the famous places of Kolkata. Hence I explored Kolkata a lot with my friends. This was the best experience during my college life.

Dislikes

College infrastructure. There is no improvement of the infrastructure. its too old, and needs a makeover.
Campus life. There is nothing called the so called "campus life"

Course Curriculum Overview

1.5

Since I did my graduation in English. So it is purely based on individual experience. The faculty is not that good in the English department. They need to improve the faculty as well as the teaching methods. They need to make it more interesting. And there was no regularity of classes held. Yes, some of the proffessors were friendly, and helpful in everyway possible.

Class Size: 45Course Fees: INR 50000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

There is no scope of any scholarship or internship. Its a very basic college under a state university. There is no system of placement here. About the tuition fees, its quite affordable. There is neither any sort of campus life as such. All you need to do yourself is to explore the city of Kolkata at your own.

Campus Life

0.5

There was the annual day every year. I never went to the library, I never needed to. Books were not up to the mark. New updated books were not available. No technological facilities were present. A very basic classroom. Like the ones we usually have under a state government university. There were no such clubs. Only students prepared for a basic annual day every year. About extracurricular activities, our department ran a departmental magazine which issued entries every month. It was a monthly magazine.

Admission

There is no such eligibility for the course, admission is purely merit-based. All the details about the course, admission process, and fee structure can be found on the official website of the college. Exams are semester-based. 3 year course, each year consisting of 2 semesters, so a total of 6 semesters in the entire course. The difficultu level of the exam depends on the subject opted for.

One of the things i liked the most was the quality of lecture given by the professors
The campus is very spacious the college has every facility
A fully equipted studio and lab for Journalism students

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

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.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

Likes

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.

The only improvements I would like to note that to improve the toilet facilities and placement opportunities.

I applied to only 2 colleges. I first received the confirmation of admission from Jogomaya Devi College, and there was no rejection from the colleges I applied to. The 2nd college I applied to was Heramba Chandra College and I received the admission confirmation there as well. However, by that time I had already secured admission to Jogomaya Devi College....Read More
