I'm satisfied with my college life.
Placements: According to me, college gives good placement opportunities if you choose the correct field. Although in political Science honors, I didn't find a good placement. If you're opting for B.Com (Hons) or BBA, the college gives you good placement opportunities rather than in any form of BA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college is quite good, with a wonderful library, canteen, and sports arena. Interior of the college is quite good. There's a problem with a playground, college campus doesn't have its personal ground while I was studying there, but they are making a whole university in Kolkata where everything would be provided.
Faculty: Teachers are, of course, helpful in terms of studies and extracurricular activities. Overall, the faculty is good and helpful if you go and interact with them.
Other: I chose this course because I had a good opinion of my civil service future. There are fields where there is scope for improvement in The Bhawanipur Education Society College.

Our College Review for improving Our College.
Placements: So, our college is one of the best in Kolkata and India, and it's very famous for events, especially the Umang event. The placement percentage for my course is 100%. The minimum package was about 28,000, and approximately 36,000, along with admission fees. Many companies recruited from our college, like Red FM, Wipro, and others. In our college, 90% of students got internships with Wipro and Red FM. There are many courses offered and roles available.
Infrastructure: The facilities are excellent, including the infrastructure, hostel, library, and classrooms. The quality of food is also great; we have the best canteen ever. The food is vegetarian but comes in a variety and is well-portioned. Sports and games are also top-notch.
Faculty: In our college, the teachers are very helpful, well-educated, and well-mannered. Their knowledge and skills are impressive. They teach every subject in detail to ensure that every student learns effectively. Their teaching quality is exceptional. The course curriculum is relevant and prepares students for a better future. However, the exams can be difficult because we are affiliated with Calcutta University, which has tough papers, and there are many exams in each semester. The pass percentage in this college is above 30%.
Other: I chose this college for my B.A. in Political Science honors because I have had an interest in politics since my school days in classes 11 and 12. I love politics and enjoy debating, which is why I chose this path. The best part of this course is that we have so much to learn about amazing facts regarding politics. Our college is continuously improving, and I have no complaints. The events and campus activities are outstanding.

Best infrastructure and ambience provided with great faculty.
Placements: Of course, there is no wide array of opportunities provided to students with a background in B.A. The placement drives that visited our college were mainly for commerce students. For us, TCS exams are being provided, which we need to crack. Top companies that came to the college included Deloitte, Wipro, HSBC, etc. Mainly, data entry jobs are the opportunities after a B.A.
Infrastructure: When taking admission in BESC, you don't have to worry about the infrastructure provided here because it is the best. All the classrooms are clean and have modern electric appliances such as smart boards, projectors, and air conditioning. The library of BESC is the best in town among other colleges. It has all sorts of books and newspapers as well. There is a canteen with hygienic food, a sports arena for playing games during leisure time, and a turf where students play badminton or cricket. About medical facilities, I'm not sure, as I have never availed of them.
Faculty: The teachers of our department are very helpful and loving. They provide all sorts of study materials to students from various authors. For the subject, there are a total of 6-7 teachers provided, unlike other colleges where there are only 2-3 faculty members. The classes are held from Monday to Saturday, and very few classes are missed or canceled. The syllabus is also covered fairly on time. This course is difficult for both students having an arts and a science background in 12th class. The examinations are held by CU, and it is tough to pass.
Other: I was very much interested in the international relations subject and therefore opted for this course as my graduation course. The best thing about this course is that it proves to be beneficial in various competitive exams. The campus surroundings are peaceful, as any violence or misbehavior is not tolerated on the campus. Scholarships are provided to various categories of students. I have even availed of this service and had to pay much less than others. You just have to submit an application for a fee waiver, stating your financial issues.

Campus life is awesome. Commerce students can definitely opt here for their course.
Placements: The top recruiting companies that come to college every year include Wipro, Deloitte, and TCS. But unfortunately, there is no placement for students in the arts section. These companies all come for the commerce section only. Ofcourse, there are internships to do.
Infrastructure: The facilities of the classrooms, canteen, turf, and gaming room are top-notch. All the classrooms are equipped with modern technology. One mark I would deduct only for the area of campus; it's a bit small and during festivals, its too crowded. The ambience of the college is very lifelike.
Faculty: The faculty of political science is very good. They have provided all the related materials in Google Classroom until now. They are very helpful and always encouraging to students. The exams are conducted by CU so of course they are hard. You have to toil hard to pass the exams.
