What Students Say

The campus has modern facilities like computer labs, a library. this makes studying more convenient.
Apart from academic spaces, the campus also has recreational areas, canteens, and clean, comfortable spaces for students to relax between classes.
The teachers are knowledgeable and always willing to help.

Dislikes

the fees can be a bit expensive, especially for students who don't have scholarships. Even though financial aid is available, the cost can still be challenging for some students.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is very relevant as it covers the important topics needed for todays job market. It includes both basic concepts and practical skills. The exams are held at the end of each semester, they are fair if you study well and understand the concepts. There are also assignments and projects.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 97666 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

I am currently studying BCA at Sister Nivedita University. The college is good. The fee structure for my course remains the same every year. The total tuition fee is 34183 per semester. In addition to the tuition fee, there are other compulsory charges such as a one time admission fee of 26000 and a caution fee of 10000. Therefore, the total annual fee per semester comes to 48833. The university also offers merit-based scholarships for students. Students may also apply for various government scholarships for additional financial support.

Campus Life

There are lots of opportunities to socialize and get involved in different activities. The campus has great facilities too. The library has plenty of books and journals for research, and the classrooms are well equipped. There are also options for sports.

Admission

I chose this college because it offers a strong curriculum, good teachers, and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. This one stood out because it focuses on practical learning. The admission process was easy and clear, and the staff were really helpful throughout.

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is generally balanced. which allows better interaction between students and teachers. The faculty members are knowledgeable in their fields. The course structure for BCA is a mix of theoretical and practical learning. The syllabus covers topics that are important, they are fair if you study well and understand the concepts. The exams are held at the end of each semester. there are also assignments and projects.

Night Life

The nightlife around campus is pretty relaxed. There are a few popular spots like local cafes and some quiet places near campus. Some students also enjoy heading to nearby malls or just taking a walk around the area.

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.

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

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

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

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.

I don't know much about this but I guess from the sixth semester the students are eligible for campus placements. This year a student from AEIE got a package of 11.2 lacs per annum and the average is around 4 lacs per annum.

Likes

The Framework is said to be great, with well equipped classroom and simply get to the libraries.
The offices at this college are great. In any case, these changes depending on the quality of the companies going by the college and the victory of the internship changes by the internship.
Understudies appreciate the campus life and flexibility to associate with others understudies. However, there are few impediments such as the division of floors between senior and junior. College life is nice and could be an inviting place for others

Dislikes

The college doesn't have lodging, and understudies must organize their settlement locally.
The college doesn't have a big field to play like any other big college

Placement Experience:

In Syamaprasad College placements and internships are given to the final year students. And the companies that offer placements are Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. The highest package goes up to 20-24 lakhs and the average package goes to 6-8 lakhs. 70-80% of students get their placement in my college. At that time I planned to get the degree and apply to a multinational company with a high salary package with company facilities.
