University of Calcutta Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

For some departments, there is a scope of placement. For our department, we were offered to seat in placements. TCS, WIPRO, ICICI, etc companies came and the average package was around 3 lakh per year. But most of the students don't seat for placement because they're willing to go for higher studies. After doing B.Sc one can crack IIT JAM JEST TIFR-like exams to opt for M.Sc. in IITs and in a reputed research organization. Similarly after BA, one can go for MA

From semester 5, students are eligible for the placements. Many reputed companies like HDFC, Amazon, and SBI Life approached the college. The highest package was 4 lakh per annum. The average package of placement is 2.5 - 3 lakh per annum.

The Placements here are one of the best in the Country. Almost all the top Companies come here for recruiting from all the departments. The Highest package last year in BCom was around Rs 21,00,000 pa.

First of all, I wanted to study in any college at Calcutta University. Surendranath College is a government college and is only 10 minutes away from Sealdah station. According to Calcutta University rules, semester examinations are conducted every 6 months. The teachers of the department are very responsive to the students.

I have a dream of studying at this college as it is one of the best colleges in Kolkata. And I can continue my NCC from here. All the faculty are so friendly and helpful and most of them are Ph.D. holders. There are a total of two semesters in a year.

First of all, I obtained 93 marks in Biology on my board exam. I enjoy studying biology. I'm very curious about plants and nature. So I have decided to pursue a career in Biology. We had a total of four faculties in our Botany department and in our batch, there were around 40 students. So the student-faculty ratio was like for every 10 students we have one faculty. But our professors were great. All of them are highly qualified and completed their PhD. Besides lectures, they conduct a few webinars on our subject topics and they have taken practical classes. We had a semester every 6 months. And the initial first two semesters we had to give two papers each. But we had to choose pass subjects. You can choose zoology, chemistry, physics or Maths as a pass subject. Exams are quite difficult to pass once we move towards the 5th & 6th semesters. So any student must have to study very hard to pass.

I choose the b.com Hons course because, after completing this course, I want to be a banker, faculty and student ratio is 50:75. Our head of the department's qualification is a master of commerce. the semester exams are very difficult to pass, but the timing of the examinations is perfect.

From the 5th semester, the students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like TCS and many more have offered jobs in our college. The average package was 2 lakhs per annum. 30% of the students get placements + internships. I want to start a business.

I have future planning in the commerce field and after my graduation, I will go for CA entrance exam that is why I chose Bcom honors which are very good for me, and we talked about student ratio is very good and the huge ratio in this college, actually, this college is only for commencing students so very huge of commerce student ratio seen in this college. The faculty of this college is very impressive, the teachers are well good knowledgeable and practical. But the only thing they are not providing the student with is practical scenario teaching if that could be better, the exams are totally basis on the semester wise which is held every 6 months and there is a total 6 semesters in this course and in one year there could be held 2 exams in every 6 months and the exams not quite easy you have to study from starting year then you will not face such an issue in your examination.

English is my favorite subject and as I have done my bachelor's course in English, I was predestined to pursue further studies to know more about the subject and that is why I have undergone a master's degree in English. There were nearly 20 professors and approximately 200 students in our course. The teaching method was excellent and the professors were highly educated. The exam was on an internal basis i.e. 20+80 marks and it was much tough to get good marks.
