University of Calcutta Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Being a NEP 2023 batch, its hard to comprehend how to write answers and how to study. Studying in college, writing answers, is a very different experience than what we went through in school and since we are the new batch of students with new sort of rules, it is hard to grasp the apt way we need to prepare for the exams and without the any guidance from the past years papers (since our question paper pattern has been restructured). However, the teachers are very helpful, they have been trying their best to prepare us for the exams and the real world. The curriculum doesn't really matches with a vocational degree's need

Vast amount of courses ! Expansive and Research bases courses. Study labs and other required arrangements available. Be it business, management, designing, science. They have it all at one place.

Psychology is a very interesting subject in itself and the curriculum seemed to cover a huge aspect and it was expected to be in detail. The exam pattern only contained long answers, marks ranging from 5-15, from 200-1000 words, the exam was a total of 50 marks. We were never taught to form answers for the exam, we were expected to know everything already, which didn't help. The time given to us was 2 hours which seems fine for a 50 marks paper but the word count that needed to be fulfilled required more time. Exams were difficult, some questions which didn't require much explanation were given for 10-15 marks. Most of the things taught in college didn't come in the exams, so the teaching should have been in accordance with the exam questions.

Course is good. But the fees structure of my course is too high for a government college. 20-25k per year. Which is too high. We have our department in 3rd floor but don't have lift for us. Don't have departmental washroom and as well as classroom

History department of the college is carrying its legacy over the years. They always inspire the students to dive into the depth of the subject, department always make us learn the implementation of the subject history in real life. The exams are conducted in short times but the department makes us very well prepared for those exams.

From the second semester onwards the students are eligible for the placement drive. Students who have high skills in fields of coding or finance or other have higher chance of being selected. They assist the students if any trouble is experienced

I choose this subject just by seeing its syllabus and subjects. We get a better facility to prepare for our exams. This course has improved skills like editing and achoring. Talking about exams so the course is of 3 years 2 semester each year. The difficulty level is semester 3 and 5

Students become eligible for placements from semester 5. A few local companies conducted placement drives in our college but they failed to grasp our attention as they were offering salary on the basis of performance and weren't clear about their job profile. TCS was the biggest company that invited students from our college for job opportunities in 2023. The salary package was low ranging from 4 to 5LPA. Most of the students preferred continuing with their studies as they wanted to become counsellors or clinical psychologists because these professions offer a better pay and more perks (independent nature of work, ability to provide better help to people etc).

From 3rd semester the students become eligible for campus placements. Various top firm companies like Deloitte, PWC paid visit alongside local companies like Spring river a. The highest package in our department was offered by EXL. Average package offered by companies was around 4 lpa. Around 60-70% of students got placed. My plans is to pursue MTech by cracking the GATE Exam.

The English Hons course from 2023 onwards under NEP is a four years course. The course structure will have major papers in literature , a minor paper (socio ,his ,eco ,film studies ,etc.) along with two multi-disciplinary subjects where the students are given the option to pick from the courses offered by other departments like biology, physics, journalism, etc. For English the course is sufficient to keep you busy, its not that tough but if it was easy everybody would be doing it . The professors are amazing and supportive , and it will be a joyride along with them .
