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.

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

4

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.

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.

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

B.Sc Computer Science Faculty: Student ratio is = 4:23 may vary a bit Faculty are well Qualified & Teaching method is okay good, but not to the mark like very good or excellent. The exam term was timely (sometimes it gets a bit late due to some natural disaster like cyclone, heavy rainfall, etc or any govt. & university delays), and the exam level is nearly too difficult, something like in between moderate to difficult.
