Review of Bethune College.
Placements: Honesty, there are no placements in our college. We will get a few placement details in our respective college group and for that also we have to visit other colleges. There are no internship opportunities, but if we want to do internships then we have to do it from outside.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college as per fee is quite good. We will get classrooms with fans only and no AC. But they are large and benches are quite comfortable too. The college has two libraries, one is departmental and the other one is the common library. In the library, we will only get educational books. The canteen of the college is quite good. However, it is small but during recess, it is very crowded. In the canteen, we get mostly healthy food and the price is decent as well. The hostel of the college is far, and it is in the Salt Lake. So I opted for PG.
Faculty: If students are in English medium, then they have to study mostly on their own. Some teachers provide notes in English but Bengal medium students are given more preference. For exams, they just follow the previous year's question papers.
Other: Overall, it is quite good here, and English medium students who do not know Bengal at all will face problems. The teaching is well. If teachers give lectures in English, then it would be better. Washrooms are really bad and not hygienic at all. They should pay attention to this as well. Every year at the end of December, they conduct a fest called Aalap. It invites some Bengal band singers, and it is a good experience but do not expect too much.

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.
