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.

Placements: The placement cell in Bethune is active and quite a few students from both undergrad and postgrad secured jobs in the recruiting companies. One such company is Cognizant. The package offered to a freshly passed out postgraduate student is that of 4 Lacs per annum.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Bethune is good, however they do not have any specific room allotted to the postgraduate department of English. Luckily it is not the same for undergraduate students. The college also has an impressive library and a canteen with food which reminds you of home.
Faculty: Bethune boasts of some of the best faculty of English in Kolkata. The teachers are always ready to help their students and here, the relation between the students and teachers is not limited to just the classrooms. You walk into Bethune alone, but you walk out with a family.
