What Students Say

Likes

Behaviour of professors was so good they treat us very good.
The Class Routine is so elaborate that you would never miss a lecture.
Security system and no ragging protocol is well followed here.

Dislikes

There are less equipments than we need to do experiments.
They will make you to write 40-50 page assignment.
They'll force you to study arts (e.g. Bengali, English, History) even if you're a science student.

Course Curriculum Overview

I have chosen the course because I am willing to give NEET UG 2025. I saw that the syllabus of NEET UG and Syllabus of the course were similar so I decided to take admission in this course. We do practical experiments everyday. They're all good with their teaching experiences. We get sufficient time to prepare for exams.

Class Size: 46Course Fees: INR 2950 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The 1st year admission fee is 2950 there are no hidden charges no fee for registration The total fees is around 21500 which you can pay within 4 years. You can get SVMCM scholarship worth 18k rupees per year if you've got more than 60% in your 12th scorecard.

Campus Life

Freshers Party - once in a year Netaji's Birthday Republic Day Students Week International Cancer Day Inter college Football Competition Teacher's day Children's Day Are celebrated here you can participate in the celebrations. There are many competitions as Singing,Dancing,Poetry,Gymnastics etc.

Admission

Besides Katwa College I have also applied for Kandi Raj College. I got confirmed by the college but there was a small issue with the distance and transport If I got admitted to Kandi Raj College so I would have to take buses or Rickshaws and for my current college I just take train. So distance was an issue and the fees of The college was much more than my current college and I've heard to my friends who admitted to that college saying that there's nothing like Katwa College, You Should go and take admission to Katwa College the faculties of Kandi college are very strict and if you miss one lecture you'll be humiliated in front of everyone so I decided to take admission in Katwa College. The process of admission is easy you can just apply through online portal opened by Government of West Bengal and you have to go to the college for verification of the documents. The Eligibility criteria- 1. You must have to get more than 60% in Boards (12th) 2. Biology subject in your 12th class is compulsory

Faculty

There are more than 5 faculties for each department so we can say that ratio of faculty to students is 1:10 . The Faculties of our department are 1. Barnali Mukherjee 2. Tapan Kumar Bera 3. Suvendu Saha 4. Somyadeep etc I personally don't like Tapan Kumar Bera sir because of his rudeness. There are 3 papers in total each semester they're pretty easy to answer They use the worldwide accepted course curriculum.

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.

Likes

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.

Likes

I like the facilities available including air conditioner, lab equipments, projector screen for slideshow, canteen and overall the campus
I also appreciate the faculties because they have studied in highly reputed institutes and undoubtedly teach the best.
I like how the college focuses not only on academics but also on co curricular. Sports, cultural functions, workshops are held frequently. It keeps the students engaged in fruitful activities

Dislikes

I do not like the multidisciplinary courses that we have to study in the first year making it little burdened for the students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is very relevant as it provides us an overall knowledge of biology and not dividing it into various sections rather giving us an insight of every aspect of biology. It includes everything such as microbiology, zoology, botany, physiology, molecular biology and so on.

College is under Ramakrishna Mission so you can imagine the discipline. Fully disciplined college no ragging.
Good . You have to balance with disciplined college.
Faculties are highly qualified and interactive. You can just go to teachers room and ask questions as school.

Dislikes

Full attendance i don't like so much. You have to attend all seminar s

Course Curriculum Overview:

Completely relevant. As the college is autonomous it has its own syllabus. Which matches with the net gate jam exam syllabus. When someone came our college for seminar they strange that we know this much. Exam are quite difficult in 2 months interval.

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.

Dislikes

Our college doesn't provide hostel facilities
Our college doesn't provide campus requirement drive

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.
