City College Kolkata, B.SC (HONOURS )

Reviewed on Aug 3, 2019(Enrolled 2017)

Remarks

If you find any good college in low budget, only then u should apply here .. because truly saying it's not a high level college ... being a student I can suggest you if you want to take admission in zoology then u should apply because expect that department none department is good .. all are worthless .

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

It's basically a three year course ... where we have to clear 200 marks in 2 paper of honours and 100 marks each in two general subjects ( like I have zoology and chemistry).. In 2nd year the honours paper is contained 200 marks and the general paper will 200 marks instead of 100 ... and in 3rd year there is only 400 marks in honours in 4 papers each containing 100 and no general subjects are there in 3rd year ..

Placement Experience

0.5

Truly saying the job opportunities from our college is null , because it cannot give any type of job or else .. And it does not provide any internship option ... Many students are applying for stipend but college authority took many time to give that ...

College Events

1.5

Oh.. yes ... I can say from event's our city college is the best ... in a year lots of events are held here ... like 'sangrila' which is actually a fest ... its celebrated by the 4 days .. except fest there there also college social ... and basanta utsab... and freshers. .. and many science seminars are occurring here ...

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is very suitable... In first year in honours I spend around 4k rupees overall and same in 2nd year around 4k I have to spend which includes lab charge , tuition fees etc. I think it's very suitable because the neighbouring colleges took more than 6k for the same course .

Fees and Financial Aid

No .. none scholarship facility is there which offered by my college .the authority of the college is very poor quality. .when one go to them ask for any help , they didn't help us and told us to come tomorrow and day by day they didn't do anything. It's the worst thing of my collage .

Campus Life

2.5

Extracurricular activities is like zero ..no tournaments ..no matches .. even not a personal ground for playing it has ... only in a year it organised a annual sport's... where none student participated... If you find some good college for sports you should avoid our college. .. but on thing which is good the lab facilities is excellent here ..

Alumni/Alumna

We have many famous alumni like soumitra chattapadaya who is a great and we'll known bengali actor ... now come to the Senior. .it's the best thing I can say ... because all the seniors are very helpful even they help us with their own notes ....

Faculty

It's good ... but I can't say it's the best because there are many fault in our college system and regulation .. like in second year we can not get more than 50 classes in honours subject and in general subjects it has poor condition ... we have to finish our chapters by own ..

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.

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.
