Remarks

Overall experience about my college is on the positive side.You can make some gemreat frienss for life and teachers are always there for you.

Entrance Preview

Its one of the popular colleges and I had heard a lot from my friends that not only from studies point of view but also co cirricular activities are respected in this college. Therefore I opted for bhawanipur college. Also, my elder siblings have passed out from this college only.

Course Curriculum Overview

Well I am a student of Physics hons. And Computer and Maths are general subjects for me. According to me the syllabus we are studying is outdated and not interesting. Its the same old things we were taught in schools with a lot more details. Luckily for the students of the next batch after us have new syllabyus amd tjey have good things to study

Internships Opportunities

Yes our college do provide internship programmes. Also our college participates in many fests and MUN so yhey are constant need of volnteers to take the front charge. Personally i have never being intrrn so I dont know about stipend

Placement Experience

Placement and job opportunities are high. As near about 2-3 job fairs takes place in college campus. Many companies like ICICI, TCS, etc come for their recruitment. Also, small and medium startup companies come for finding interns as well as permanent employees. Interviews take place and its on the basis of it, one of gets the jon

College Events

Our college celebrate alnost every festival in college. Navratri is celebrated by organising dandia night and holi with flowers. Many open mics and quizes are being organised by respective clubs. We have an annual fest named Umang in which all events like dance, fadhion show, singing, literary arts etc. Takes place

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees is on the expensive side. For a science course you need to pay 39000 per year and a commerce course 38500. For Computer course around 50000 is the fees. And the main thing is you need to pay the fees in the start of acaedmic year all at once. No monthly systems are there

Fees and Financial Aid

I haven't heard of any such programmes being provided by our college. Even stidents who have family financial issues are not given any kind of loan or other facility. Either you pay the entire amount or leave college.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus life is great. If you havecseen movies like Main hoon na or serials like d3, our college has the same feel. Lots of activities, games being going on. Students cheering for the contestants. We have labs for every courses namely Physics, chemistry, computer, electronics etc. Lots of intra college competition takes place including games and quiz.

Hostel Facilities

There are no hostel facilities provided by our college. We habe canteen food that os bery tasty, affordable and Hyegeinic. There are many pg providers near our college. Many of my friends habe come from Jharkhand, kerala, uttar prafesh, asansol, darjeeling,Assam etc. So they reside in PGs.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

We have Bipasha badu, jeet madnani, nushrat jahan from our college. Also, senior students spare time from their busy schedule to come in times of audition for fests etc.

Exam Structure

We have university examinations once a year and two college examinations namely Mid term and Selection examinations. You have to pass the selection exam in order to sit for university examinations. Bit by the new syllabus semester system has been introduced and university exams are held every 6 months.

Admission

Its an online process.You have to fill the form online filling the details and marks and then wait for the merit list to be published. This is done for both B. Sc. And B. Com but for BA course besides merit you have to appear for a enterance test as well.

Faculty

4.5

Faculty support is very important in courses like Physics. I personally do a part time jobs so I cant manage time for private tuitions. So classes are the main source of study for me. Faculty have mixed type of teachers, some strict some vrry friendly but studywise they are supportive and very good

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.

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.

My experience till now at Bhawanipur education society, Kolkata.

I chose this college above any other college because this is one of the best colleges of Calcutta university. And since, I'm pursuing CA course along with my BCOM Hons, the attendance criteria out here is quite lenient which will help me to focus on my CA course in a better way. The merits of this college are - 1) the attendance criteria out here is quite lenient 2) these teachers here are very helpful and supportive when it comes to doubt solving. 3) this college provides us with various co-curricular activities like sports and etc. 4) the campus placement opportunities are very high at this college. The demerits of this college are - 1) this college doesn't provide us with the societies which in turn fails at providing us the exposure needed. 2) the merit-based section division is quite a turn-off as it creates a gap between the academically good students and the average ones....Read More

The canteen provides tasty snacks and food. Academics I am studying B. com here because I wanted to have an acumen for the commerce as a subject. The quality of teaching was good but the main problem is that half of the classes get cancelled due to mass bunk. Students barely attend the college here because they are busy with their professional courses. The college comes under Calcutta University....Read More
