This course is really helpful for students.

Placements: There are many students enrolled in the course, and I am currently studying. It is a government college so packages along with the course are not exactly offered. I can further pursue a career in HR, journalism, and ELT. Students can perhaps pursue their internship in content writing, HR companies, and journalism.

Infrastructure: Our classes have the facility of air-conditioners, large and spacious rooms along with big windows for ventilation and sufficient exposure to the light. There is a Wi-Fi connection available. Library cards are issued to the students so that they can borrow books for their respective courses anytime according to their convenience.

Faculty: It is a skill-oriented course. Professors are extremely qualified and knowledgeable. They also hold a Ph.D. The semesters get gradually harder yet the passing percentage is quite good. Teachers are really helpful. They always provide us with all the necessary handouts for our convenience.

Other: I chose this course as it offers to build skills and provides a theoretical knowledge of the job role. Many events, fests, scholarships, and opportunities for extracurricular activities are offered throughout the year for students.

The good infrastructure of this college Satisfied with the faculty.

Placements: Forty to fifty percent of the study was conducted at many renowned companies like Amazon, Tata, Infosys, and others. The highest package is above 20 lacs per annum, and the average package is above 4 lacs per annum. More than 60 percent of the students get internships each year.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the college buildings, and labs and classrooms are separate for each department. The college has three libraries with over 20,000 books available. The hostel quality is good, and the food is also good.

Faculty: The teachers were very helpful to the students; they always helped them with various problems. The curriculum system is very good; it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are standard, and like other colleges, the passing percentage is likely above 80 percent each year.

This college needs a lot of improvement in its infrastructure and placement process.

Placements: Asutosh college does not have a proper placement cell. There is a placement team who sometimes organizes a few job fair, and a handful of students manage to get placement offers. But, the packages are not that great. The average package was 2 LPA while the highest package was 3.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus of Asutosh College is very old and dusty. The classrooms are very small as compared to the number of students in our batch. We have a few labs but most of the equipments are old. We do have a few sporting facilities in our college campus like cricket, football and volleyball.

Faculty: The teachers and other faculty members of Asutosh College are to some extent good. They have good knowledge about their subjects and also cover the syllabus on time. The course curriculum is also good and covers all the latest trends. The semester exams are a bit difficult, and you need to follow the classes properly to score good marks.

One of the best colleges for this course. Best campus crowd I've ever seen.

Placements: 30% students are being placed in different companies. 2.5-3.6 LPA is the average package offered from different private companies. 40% recruiting is done by ICICI, Bandhan, HDFC banks, Amazon etc. Admin, BSE are the usual posts, offered for English (Honours) students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite simple yet good. The classrooms are simple (non AC) but you can decorate your classroom according to your preference after getting permission from the students union. Our college doesn’t have an attached hostel, but there are a lot of PG in that area. Canteen food is not so good. There are some street food stalls around our college. Two major sports events take place.

Faculty: They are the best faculty members one can get as a student. It is totally a theory based subject but it develops you into a smarter version of yourself. Getting good marks in semester exams is quite tough but not impossible.

Other: Best among all.

Good Faculty, a Dismal College Life, and a Questioning Future

Placements: The placement system for almost all colleges under Calcutta University is terrible. It is better advised to look out for internships from your second year and on, and build relevant experience so that you can build your resume and look for jobs yourself.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not the best. The benches in the classroom are not good. Some fans do not operate in the classroom, and that makes it extremely difficult to focus on classes. There aren't even any air conditioners in the main building. Some of the classrooms have microphones fitted but not in use, making it impossible to listen to the teacher while sitting in class.

Faculty: I can't complain about the faculty because it is a mix and match of amazing and well-good professors. Some of the professors teaching the modules really know their course through and through, but that comes with experience as well. The semester exams are set by Calcutta University, and like all the other bachelor's degrees, CU has questions that take aeons to complete, and somehow you still don't get the marks for them.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are very helpful. During the challenging times of COVID-19, our teachers, along with us, had to shift their expertise to suit the needs of online teaching.

The library facility is very good. Whenever students face any problem, they can go to the library. Medical facilities are available. Different types of games are available here. The canteen is available with good quality and quantity of food.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good. All the professors are well behaved, and they are very down to the earth. Professors are very friendly. The syllabus is completed on time. Professors clear our doubts on a regular basis. The syllabus is readily followed up, and each part of the syllabus is covered with care.

Other: I have chosen this college because the faculty members are great, and I also like the environment of this college. Apart from this, our college has different types of groups like cricket group, football group, etc. Therefore it is for students to be a part of such groups and get a chance to enrich their skills. Our college is one of the most happening colleges in WB. Every month has its own event. The biggest events of our college include a fest named Udaan, Winter Carnival, Asutosh Soccer League abd Asutosh Premier league.
