B.A. (Hons.) in Economics - Batch of 2025

I'm satisfied with faculty members and not so satisfied with the infrastructure.
Placements: I am a student of economics honors, which is a 3-year course under CBCS system of Calcutta University. The most number of recruitments are done by TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) once the student is in their final year (that is 5th semester). Placements are not that generalized since it's a government university and mostly TCS only comes for recruitment process.
Infrastructure: The full college has individual departmental Wi-Fi and departmental library other than the central library. Classrooms are quite decent, computer/electronics classrooms also have air-conditioning facilities. Labs are up to date with the latest instruments needed for practical learning of course. There is no hostel facility being provided. Canteen is available with some delicious and reasonable food, but the menu is limited. There are various kinds of extracurricular activities such as NCC, NSS, basketball, cricket, badminton, and table tennis.
Faculty: Professors are helpful and guide every student toward their dream career options based on their interests. Each professor becomes a personal mentor of a minimum of 2 students during the first year to know and guide them. Semester exams are not that difficult if classes are being attended by students. Pass percentage is 33.3% in each subject.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in economics. According to the canteen perspective, it would be nice to have some more menu options other than that campus life is quite good and peaceful. Fest, freshers, and farewells everything happens here but nothing in excess amount. There is no such distraction. Also, students can apply for Swami Vivekananda scholarship where each student gets Rs. 18,000 each year for their college studies.

Very Good Infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: In my course, there are more than 50 students. The course fee is very low. However, no recruiting companies offer any jobs. Nobody got an internship from my course. But the course quality is awesome. Students can get jobs with their learned skills and knowledge.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is awesome. The college rooms, bathrooms, library, and playground are totally clean. But there are no hostels in this college. The sports and gaming room is nice. Food facilities are not available in this college. Students can eat any type of food from the store in front of the college.
Faculty: The teachers in the college are very knowledgeable and well-qualified, and their teaching quality is wonderful. They teach the students well. There are a total of 6 semesters in this course, and the course duration is 3 years. Each year has 2 semesters, and over 3 years, there are 6 semesters.
Other: I chose this course because I love history.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Zoology - Batch of 2027

infrastructure and facilities are good.
Placements: I’m currently pursuing Zoology Honours at Behala College, which is under Calcutta University. To be honest, work in this college is slow. However, based on earlier studies and meetings with alumni, a significant number of students have gone out of the city to continue their studies in M.Sc. I’m in my second year now, and since last year, I’ve learned that to secure a placement, you need to work on improving your skills alongside your studies. This is first time the NEP (New Education Policy) has been introduced to our batch, which focuses more on developing market-ready skills than on bookish, theory-based candidates applying for jobs.
Infrastructure: We have separate common rooms for boys and girls. A good thing about this college is that we have many buildings with different departments for studying, as well as a huge garden with a pond used for botanical studies and relaxation during breaks. I don’t live in the hostel as it is near my house, but unfortunately, our college doesn’t provide any hostels. However, I have seen many PGs around our campus. Food in mess is good quality, and classrooms are well-organised with Wi-Fi connections.
Faculty: Faculty members are sometimes very helpful, but most of the time, they don't spend much time assisting us. However, they do help when we approach them. Semester exams are a major focus here. Students concentrate on clearing each semester, making them industry-ready. Semesters can be tough for those who don’t take notes, as teachers share many notes and PDFs in the WhatsApp group. Our college also has its website where PDFs for specific classes of respective departments are uploaded. It is the only college in Kolkata with an A+ NAAC grade.
Other: I would like to add that we have a huge library with air conditioning installed, as well as teachers for football and basketball. Basketball players are mostly recognized, as we have a basketball court for playing. Freshers' is also a big event for welcoming juniors, and many famous singers are invited every year.

Decent infrastructure with a satisfactory faculty.
Placements: There were some people coming to our college from different banks, but there were never any placements stuff in my course. Top recruiting companies would be HDFC and AXIS Bank. Around 40% students got internship in the above-mentioned companies. And I have no idea about the top roles offered in my course because I was never interested to pursue anything related to my course after graduation.
Infrastructure: There were all kinds of facilities and infrastructures like canteen, library, gym, Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms of course, and a playground. The quality of the facilities were above average. The quality of food available was okish in the canteen, medical facilities I have no idea. Sports and games were decent.
Faculty: The teachers were really helpful and qualified and knowledgeable about what they were teaching us. This course is no doubt curriculum relevant but it certainly does not make the students industry ready. And the exams were pretty easy for me, but for the pass percentage - I forgot?
Other: Well, I chose this course simply because I loved my subject.

2Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Our college is good. All facilities are available; you can take admission here.
Placements: There are 6 students in my course. Placements are available but not very good, approximately 3 LPA. Some companies visit our college for internships or placements. On our college website, there is a placement cell where you can register for more information about our college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our department is good. Wi-Fi and AC are also available. The library is good, and you can find any books related to your course. However, there is no hostel or mess, but there is a canteen available, and sports and games are offered, allowing you to play and compete with others.
Faculty: In our department, teachers are very helpful, and you can discuss anything with them without any hesitation. The teachers always try to give their best to the students and focus on the concepts of mathematics. The semester examinations are a little difficult, so you must study to pass.
Other: I chose this college because of my course. All events occur during our college fest and extracurricular activities. Scholarships are also available in our college, but only for West Bengal students, not for those from other states.

Satisfied with the college. Recommended.
Placements: In recent years, very few placements have taken place. Few were from sales and insurance backgrounds. It is recommended to look for jobs outside and not be dependent on college campuses. The college has M.Sc. facilities as well in a few subjects. Interested people can opt for it.
Infrastructure: The library and labs are well-equipped. Canteen food is fine. The basketball court is the main attraction in the common room. No hostel is there. It is a day in college. No Wi-Fi is there. Big, airy classrooms are there. B.Sc. in math had C programming in the curriculum, due to which we needed desktops. Good facilities provide programming knowledge in this course.
Faculty: Good faculty with knowledge regarding the latest courses in demand and guiding through them. Regular practice works; a logical approach to problems enhances thinking skills. Semester exams were conducted as per university guidelines. Teachers are well qualified.
Other: The college has its own garden and pond. It's a scenic view from the classrooms. Organizing cultural events in Holi, Saraswathi puja, etc. The college has its own stationary shop with affordable rates.
