It is offering the ultimate college life.

Placements: Over 80 percent of students were placed in college in the last two years. Big companies like IBM have been recruiting. Many students got internships, both paid and unpaid. People often opt for my course thinking it's easy, but it's very dense. Editors also come as recruiters.

Infrastructure: Many facilities are available, like Wi-Fi, AC labs, and a classroom in college. The bathrooms are clean and situated on every floor for easy access. The library is loaded with various books. There are no hostel facilities, but the vegetarian food options are unique and tasty.

Faculty: Since it's under Calcutta University, the exams are pretty hard, and many students receive a backlog on paper, but the teachers are really helpful, and they ensure that the students can reach the zenith of their potential. The course curriculum is very updated and useful.

Other: College is best known for its events.

BESC- The beginning of something fantastic for the rest of your college years.

Placements: 75 percent of students were placed. Careers include teacher, professor, journalism. Outgoing roles build character. Prepares you for the next phase of your life. Broadens your views of the world. This course prepares you to view life with more clarity and it.

Infrastructure: Fantastic infrastructure and environment. Wi-Fi was always available, and the classrooms had air conditioning. The library was top-notch in terms of environment, and the availability of books was also perfect. Want a hostel goer. Canteen, however, maintained cleanliness and quality of food like restaurants. Although the price point was on the higher side, but its worth it. All kinds of games indoors and outdoors were available.

Faculty: Great, helpful, and knowledgeable teachers. Highly qualified with PhDs and multiple degrees. The course was curriculum-relevant, I believe. The semester exams were quite tough, but the teachers ensured to guide us enough to achieve good scores. The teachers look into each and every student's individual needs and help them with their weak spots.

Other: The greatest college fest in Calcutta, the campus crowd was very up to the trend. Connectivity was fantastic. I chose English because I love English literature.

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.

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.
