A short review on the Bhawanipur Education Society College.

Placements: Wipro, Bajaj are some major companies that offered internship programs, and about 40% of students applied in it. Besides that, the institution provides ample amount of opportunities that will help the students shape their future in a very extravagant way.

Infrastructure: The college has great infrastructure. The classrooms are equipped with all sorts of modern technologies which help in the audio-visual way of teaching. The professors are very helpful, and they always try to keep in touch with their students throughout the journey of the entire course through their mentorship programme. The college has one of the best-equipped libraries consisting of various genres of books. The college also provides opportunities for numerous extra-curricular activities and encourages students to participate in them for their holistic development.

Faculty: I was a student of English honours in this college, and honestly, the college, being a commerce specialty college, equally imparts great attention towards their B.A. and B.Sc. departments. I was a student under the CBCS curriculum of Calcutta University, and the teachers were well-educated regarding the course and guided us thoroughly.

Other: The college offers a great college life, almost like the ones you would see in movies. Apart from academics and extra-curricular, they also take care of the mental health of their students. Any student who has been facing problems can always rely upon their mentors or talk to the counsellor, and they would extend a friendly and accepting hand towards them.

Excellent faculty, industry-relevant curriculum, and supportive environment.

Placements: In my course, there are 400 students in B.A. Eng (Hons). In my course, the college has promised us an average package of 5 L. P. A and 7 L. P. A as the highest package. Tata Consultancy Services is one of the highest recruiting firms. On average, 4 out of 5 students from our college get internships with good packages.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are air-conditioned and equipped with modern teaching aids like projectors and smartboards, which provide a seamless experience. The laboratories are well-equipped and are up-to-date. The college also ensures Wi-Fi connectivity, which has moderate speed, which sometimes is consistent during peak hours. In our college canteen, we get veg food, which is fairly priced and tastes average.

Faculty: The teachers at our college are highly knowledgeable, qualified, and approachable. They use modern teaching methods such as presentations to make the class more engaging. Our course and curriculum are well designed and regularly updated and make the students industry-ready by including not only giving theoretical knowledge but practical exposure which shapes the students well enough for their upcoming challenges.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty of the college. There are good placements inside the campus.

Placements: The placement cell of the college is very active. Out of 120 students, 80 students were placed from English honors last year in companies like TCS, KPMG, and Deloitte, but this doesn't mean there are high placements in our college every year. Around 80% of students are doing internships now from English courses, and I also did my internship at Maruti Suzuki, where I had to make a report on sales of the cars. Top roles offered include content writers, journalists, public relations officers, marketing executives, English teachers, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are good for our department. We have ACs in all the classrooms, and also the classrooms are equipped with projects and microphones. We have Wi-Fi connection inside the campus, and we can access it through the password given by the college. We don't have a hostel, but the quality of food available in the canteen is superb. The prices are high, but the quality is good, and our canteen serves only veg food. Medical facilities are good, as all the floors of the college have first aid boxes. We have a sports arena in the college where we can play indoor games like chess, boxing, and ludo, and also we have a basketball court inside our college.

Faculty: The teachers of the college are really qualified and knowledgeable, and they are helpful too. The quality of teachers is better than in government colleges, and we have Google classrooms and WhatsApp groups; if we face any doubt, we just ask our professors there. The course curriculum is excellent as it provides analytical skills and deep knowledge to the students so that they can use it for their job interviews and can take part in extracurricular activities like debate, theater, etc. The semester exams are moderate, and one can clear it easily if he or she follows college notes. The pass percentage is 80-85%.

Other: I choose this course because I want to develop communication skills and analytical skills, and the best thing about my course is that it is comprehensive in nature and explores the historic period of literature through various poems, drama, and prose. I love my course, and everything is the best here. Umang is the biggest event of our college where several colleges take part through various events. One can get a scholarship if he or she maintains over 80% in the semesters through the government scheme.

The Complete Bhaggu Experience

Placements: B.com placement is highest with above 62% Chartered Accountant, and the biggest advantage goes to students from commerce or economics background. But the English faculty is also amazing and so is the Science faculty. The teachers and peers are very helpful.

Infrastructure: Excellent faculty, centralized air conditioning but no hostel. There is a lack of open space but there are well maintained hallways, rooms for men and women, privacy, big classrooms, innovative teaching and the labs and auditorium balls are too classy and well maintained.

Faculty: The semester exams depend upon the CU curriculum but the college does its best to guide and help the students. They are very lenient on attendance and internal marks, and the tutorial marks are awarded very gracefully. As for the exams, the teachers do their best to help students.

Other: The people are epic but there are some idiots. The teachers and staff are amazing and helpful, and the students range from helpful seniors to rowdy gym goers.
