What Students Say

Likes

JD Birla college is one such place where there is place for everyone and helps to nurture people's passion and love for academics, extra curriculum activities.
JD Birla helped me for studies, my love for dance.
the environment was very conducive for a holistic development and it was very protective simultaneously.

Dislikes

There was nothing really to not like about my college.
the expenses for the subject could have been reduced a little.
the campus could have a little more big.

Course Curriculum Overview

I studied BSc. Honours in Human Development from JD Birla. The subject itself is very integrated and multidisciplinary. It covers a plethora of topics including counselling, sociology, early childhood care and education, prenatal development and care, gerontology, extension education, psychology, and much more. A person can go ahead with research work, pursue masters's or any other higher studies, etc. The faculty taught us with utmost care and with proper practical approach.

Class Size: 22Course Fees: INR 100 per year

Internships Opportunities

JD Birla institute offers various internship opportunities to students. Department-wise all the internships are mandatory. So for eg: For nutrition department there are companies like ITC, Emami, for Textile department there are textile related companies, same for interior designing. for the department of Human Development they had organisations like NGOs, counselling centres, clinics, preschools.

Placement Experience

From 5th Semester, the students become eligible for placements. There are a lot of companies hiring students from our college including Delloite, CRY, Small Wonders. Students who were genuinely interested to work after studies went ahead with placements. However, most of the students go ahead with higher studies.

Fees and Financial Aid

JD. Birla is a renowned college in Kolkata, West Bengal. It offers a variety of courses. The course I studied was BSc Honours in Human Development. It was divided in 6 semesters. The joining fees was somewhere around 98 thousand. Every semester we had to pay around 65 thousand(inr). The fees was similar for all my batchmates from any category. Scholarship is mostly merit-based.

Campus Life

My overall experience with campus life in JD Birla was nothing short of experiencing new things. There were annual functions, inter-college competitions, department fests. JDBI has an amazing learning resource centre with its membership with British library. The classrooms are digitalised.

Admission

JD Birla is located in my hometown,Kolkata. Plus it is affiliated to the Jadavpur university, and the subject was something very interesting and fresh. JD Birla was the only college providing us with a BSc. honours in human development. The admission criteria for my college was on the basis of merit.

Faculty

The faculty members for my subject were par excellence. Their knowledge, experience and guidance helped us gain strong basis of knowledge and expertise. There were two sets of exams for every semester including an internal test and final end semester examinations.

Night Life

JDBI is located in the heart of the city and has the busiest road. There are several cafes, malls, and places to hang out. We have our most popular park street where Oxford Book Store, all the most renowned restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries including Flury's are all located there. So all in all this males Park Street a much better place.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Honest reveiw on JD Birla Institute.

The application process was simple and short. We had to fill out the college application form from the website and submit it with the necessary documents. The first list came out after a week and the second list the following week. My name was on the second list. We did not have to give any sort of entrance exam. It is purely based on our board's percentage. Some parts of the application process which I did not like was that payments were done online, but we had to submit a physical proof, which felt unnecessary as in today's world, everything is online. I had to pay Rs105000 during the time of my admission. It included my admission fees (45000) and first semester fees(60000)....Read More
