"Decent placements, excellent infrastructure, but average faculty support.

Placements: No comment. 3 to 4 lk per year. And it can be more than. Don't have any idea. About this point. Approximately 50-60 percent of students from the course secured internships. Companies offering internships included mid-size firms and a few reputed ones like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and startups, primarily in IT, consulting and marketing roles. No idea about this point.

Infrastructure: Very good The hostel facilities are decent offering basic amenities but could be better maintained. The quality of food in the mess and canteen is average, with limited variety and occasional concerns about hygiene. Medical facilities are minimal, providing only basic first aid and emergency care. However, the sports and games infrastructure is well-equipped, offering a good range of activities for students. Don't have any hostel And don't have mess Yes we have medical camps. And we have umang in our college. Continue 7 days.

Faculty: Teacher is very good and very helping. And friendly The course curriculum is moderate relevant but lacks comprehensive update to match current industry standards. While it covers foundation knowledge, it may not fully prepare students for the dynamic requirements of the industry without additional skill-building or internships. Compulsory in 45 parsent represented in class. Then he/she allow for exam hall. And need 35 parsent for passing mark.

Other: Becouse I like that. Very important in my life Yes we have.

A vibrant campus life but no placements for B.A. students.

Placements: For our batch, there were no placements because it was the bachelor of arts course. The college did not offer any formal internships or placements for B.A. or M.A. students. But for other courses like B.Com and BBA, it was good. Top recruitment companies for the B.Com people were EY, KPMG, Cognizant, and Deloitte.

Infrastructure: Modernized and customized classrooms were there. It was comfortable for the students. Library and sports arena were really good to hangout with friends. Various multipurpose modernized halls with updated sound systems were available for extracurricular activities and other purposes.

Faculty: Teachers were really helpful and approachable. They used modern unique techniques to engage with the students and develop a comfortable learning and knowledge exchange environment. The course curriculum was pretty relevant and keeps it updated with the recent developments. The college was under the University of Calcutta and during exam times the papers were really good with a standard level to test the student's knowledge and learning abilities. Passing percentage for each paper was 33%.

Other: The course offered not only classroom teaching but also community engagement by arranging field trips and dissertation papers for the final semester. For improvement, it would be great if they provided internships or placements for the B.A. students. In terms of extra-curricular, events, fests, and cultural programs, the environment in BESC was unmatched in comparison to any other college in Kolkata. BESC hosts the biggest college fest of Kolkata i.e., Umang and BESC AON which were the biggest MUN conference in Eastern India. Overall, the college not only offered a refined education, but also a vibrant and diverse campus life.
