Course Curriculum Overview

4

the program emphasizes core economic theories , mathematical techniques, and statistical methods. the inclusion of maths, stats, and econometrics helps in developing analytical and problem - solving skills, all of which are important for real world. there is exposure to various branches of economics. the curriculum integrates data analysis, evaluation, and case studies, which are useful in careers in academia, corporate sector, banking, etc. According to me the places to improve include: Update the curriculum with emerging topics Professors being a little more student friendly more practical exposure more research opportunities there are semester wise exams and due to covid we had to cover a lot in less time than usual. It is a difficult course but doable.

Fees and Financial Aid

The detailed fees structure For B.Sc Economics / Mathematics (Hons) is as follows: Rs. 1500 per semester For other B.Sc students : Rs. 1125 per semester For B.A. students: Rs. 1100 per semester For M.A. students: Rs.1260 per semester For MSc students: Rs. 1335 per semester All these are total fees per semester including Examination Fees which range from Rs.200 - Rs.375 and Tuition Fees ranging from Rs.900 - Rs.960 All these fees were same for all categories of people.

Campus Life

The names of fests: Milieu Annual Cultural Fest held annually during april or may Iconic Fest held annually Arthatantra Economics Festival Founders Day There is a Art library and a Science library and also individual departent have their organized libraries.Rare books and manuscripts are available. There is a projector in each classrom and also computer labs. There are various student led social groups and clubs but most of them are politically leaned.

Admission

I had applied to and got confirmation from Xaviers College and Jadavpur University. I chose to go to Presidency Due to to its heritage and strong economics department and also due to its affordability. There is a competitive peer group and the location is a plus point. The eligibility reuires minimum of 60% in 10+2 for General category and 55% for SC/OBC/ST/PWD Maths has to be a mandatory subject ( for B,Sc Economics) THey accept admission through PUBDET though mine was direct admission due to COVID 19. The process of admission is to register for PUBDET then give the xam and then wait for merit list and finally if selected go for document verification. The cutoff ranges usually from 150 - 250.

Faculty

3

the faculty to student ratio is like 7:40 The faculties are approachable for academic queries. I really liked to study under Professor Mousumi Dutta in the Economics department. I liked her teaching because it was very systematic and easy to understand. I did not like a certain professor, I would not like to name him/her. There are semester wise exams as well as 2 small internal exams every semester and mid sem exams. In our batch there were a handful of students who failed certain semesters as it was quite difficult to pass these exams.

Night Life

4

The whole area itslef is not so safe. Inside the campus there is full safety but the college street area during night is preferabbly not safe for girls or boys to roam around alone at night. The hostel is just oustside the campus and the canteen is reallly good. There is no gym but there is a basketball court and volleyball court and a badminton room and table tennis room, as well as carrom. The boys hostel is close to the campus whereas the girls hostel is little far but the university provides bus services from girls to college and vice versa and schedules timings. the boys hostel has no time limit to enter or exit, but just an attendance register. Th girls hostel closes at around 8 to 10 pm at night and opens in the morning. The top places to hangout inside the college is the place called The Tank.And there were multiple places to eat and chill outside the college.

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.

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.

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.

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.
