The college is average and slightly overhyped.
Placements: Most students went for higher studies either in or out of Kolkata. None of the students opted for placements. The average salary offered to a few students was around Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,00 per month. I don't have much idea about the top recruiting companies. But most of the IT companies hired students who are capable of speaking and understanding English and who are proficient at communicating through phone calls. Most students do not take up these jobs and look for a better job with a higher salary, or they go for higher studies. None of the students got any internships. One can personally take up a paid internship, and the college had nothing to do with it. Most students intern in a hospital or counselling centre.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Bethune is bad since it is an old college, but it is renovated from time to time. Wi-Fi facilities weren't available when I was studying. However, labs, classrooms and libraries were available, all of which were built later on to accommodate the growing student population and to provide them with as many facilities as possible. But, none of those was very well-maintained, and as a result, they were shabby. There's no hostel facility in Bethune, but everything else is available here. However, the quality of the facilities isn't up to the mark. Canteen food is slightly below average but not bad. Medical facilities were below average. Sports and games were given much importance, but the space available wasn't up to the mark.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were cooperative, more than helpful, but they had immense knowledge in the subject. The problem is that they hardly take classes, but when they conduct classes, they are usually exciting. The course curriculum is more theory-based, and the practicals were not updated at that time. I feel the course curriculum suffices one's academic requirements, not necessarily making students industry-ready.
Other: The course was chosen out of interest, even before the pros and cons of the institution. Psychology is an immensely interesting subject, and yet one needs to have the aptitude to be able to be persistent while pursuing this course. I would focus more on practicals and exposures since the subject is an applied science, rather than sticking to the books. Events and fests are almost organised in our college. The campus crowd is mixed, and I have hardly noticed any bias based on caste, class or socio-economic background. The campus surrounding is filled with eateries. Extracurricular activities are encouraged, but the opportunities provided were average. The scholarship was given once based on the socio-economic background, but I haven't heard about it during my three years.

A reputed college with great facilities.
Placements: I'm not much aware of the placement opportunities but have heard a lot of good reviews from the previous students. It's one of the most reputed colleges in Kolkata. Most of the toppers of Calcutta University are from Bethune. Hence, the place is good for the students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good if we ignore the washroom facility. The classrooms are good. The library is quite large with a great number of books for each of the subjects. The college has a good reputation for organising extra co-curricular activities including sports and games. The college fest named Alaap is organised every year. The college also makes sure to encourage the students to take part in the fest of other colleges too. If you visit the college, you'll find many trees on the entire campus.
Faculty: The psychology department has only 4 teachers, which is not a good thing since it offers a postgraduate course in psychology. But the teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They try to cover the syllabus with this less number of faculty. The classes are conducted well. Many films are shown regarding the subject, which might help the students to understand the subject. Many discussions are held every day.
