Very good in terms of course and extracurricular.
Placements: We had around 40 students for the course as it was a Bachelor's degree in History. The college does not offer any specific recruitment, but campus placements from TCS and Cognizant were offered to all students from all degree courses. Other than that, career counseling is provided through seminars and conferences, and research guides are also offered.
Infrastructure: There is open Wi-Fi available in the college. As it is a government and heritage college, a lot of the infrastructure is old, but new buildings and wings have been constructed. There is a newly constructed auditorium and common room. Gym facilities are also available. There is a general library, and subject-specific books are available in the classroom library. The canteen is there, but the bathroom quality is not up to the mark.
Faculty: All the teachers are Ph.D. holders or are pursuing their doctorates. They have years of experience and are equipped with knowledge. All the teachers' information and qualifications can be researched through the college's official website. The course content is relevant, and regular discussions, internals, and assignments are conducted. More than 50 percent of students get first class.
Other: The college also conducts its annual fest, AALAP, every year in December. Other than that, there are annual sports events, an annual function, celebration of Bethune Day, and a prize distribution ceremony. Seminars, talks, workshops, and conferences are held regularly. A computer course by WEBEL is provided. There is inter and intra-fest participation as well.

I am satisfied with the faculty members, but the infrastructure needs a little improvement.
Placements: Around 10 students got placed, and TCS visited the college to hire freshers. Students get placed with a salary package that ranges between 3-4.5 LPA. In our batch, students from each course get an opportunity to do an internship in these 4 years of graduation.
Infrastructure: As a girls' college, several infrastructural necessities are missing, starting from clean washrooms to sanitary napkins and vending machines, which is expected from a girl's college. In the hostel, the mess system things have been better with regard to the quality of food and cleanliness as well.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and put in lots of effort to make the topic understandable in almost 3 languages, Hindi, English, and Bengal. The curriculum consists of a variety of subjects from various disciplines, making it an interesting course altogether.
Other: With the introduction of NEP, I just did not get to study history as my major. I studied a variety of subjects ranging from environmental science to women's studies to psychology to philosophy, giving the students an opportunity to pursue further studies in any discipline. The campus is rich with greenery, providing solace even in solitude. Students here are from several states, making the environment to study in diversity.

AskShikshaGPT on App
Q:   Is Bethune College good for placements?
A: 

The final year students are eligible for placements. Businesses like TCS and Wipro visit our college and offer an average salary of 3.3 lpa. The majority of students choose higher education, such as a master's degree in their chosen fields. After I graduate, I'll choose to pursue an MBA. At Bethune College, placements are comparatively much better at the graduation level. During their senior year, candidates may apply for placements in any department. Final-year students can get placements at large companies like TCS, WIPRO, and other ones. The placement committee is active in this area and professors assist you throughout the process, making it simpler for students. With a median salary of 2.4lpa, the highest package available to bachelor's students is 3.6lpa. Placements are about 50% because most students choose PG programmes, which are actually a better choice if one isn't in a rush to find employment. Personally, I believe that a master's degree in the relevant field will result in a high salary in the organisation.
