M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2024

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

My review of this college.

Placements: Every year, many top job recruiters and companies visit our college for seminars, interviews, and job exams. Our college personally invites recruiters through our placement cell, and our professors make sure that we attend every interview and seminar to get a better idea about what we want to do in our future. If you want to place in a good and best, they have a placement cell where you have to register yourself to get updates about companies. Most of them are IT and management-based companies. The job profile is basically that of a salesperson. Many new companies have approached for placement.

Infrastructure: The girls' hostel is located just at the back side of our college. It is spacious and well-maintained. The rooms are airy and well-lighted. The food is of a very standard type. There is a huge demand for hostel facilities, and it is given on a priority basis. There is a free and fair policy regarding giving hostel facilities.

Faculty: The course is overall quite good. It has lots of practicals to increase practical knowledge. A plenty of things are taught on the projector, which gives us a digital experience. The course also consists of an industrial visit, which gives us a rough idea of how industries work. The teachers are very well-qualified and very cooperative. They are well-experienced and have a minimum M.Sc. qualification. Most of them are Ph.D. qualified. They have a very good knowledge and also make us think out of the box. They are always ready to help. Their teaching helps us to grow personally as well. We have a semester pattern, and the practical exams are held at the end of the year only. In the third year, we had university exams at the end of the year. The practicals are always good, and we felt good after leaving the labs. Exams obviously depend on one's preparations. The laboratory is always clean.

M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, it is the best college for the M.Sc. in Botany course.

Placements: About 92% of students are admitted to our college. Many students got jobs in many companies. The highest salary package offered is 29 LPA, and the minimum salary package offered is 9 LPA. Big companies like Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, etc., visit the college for recruitment. Nearly 85% of students received internships. Higher-level roles offered are conservation biologist, horticulturist, etc.

Infrastructure: The campus's antique architecture gives us a sense of antiquity, reminiscent of Royal Kolkata. Classrooms include lofty windows and overhanging fans, similar to those seen in old movies. The college features two libraries stocked with literature on a variety of subjects. All of the science departments have offices, and the institution also provides Wi-Fi. The canteen cuisine is overpriced and delicious for everyone.

Faculty: It is a wonderful joy to announce that I have graduated with the top faculty members. They've always assisted us. Students should prepare for projects. Our teachers are always very helpful in our work. Semester tests are quite standard, and we are determined to test our faith. The pass rate is more than 55%.

This college has enough value for money.

Placements: Internships are provided to all students of our course. About placements, they held various seminars regarding our future jobs and concerns. All the past seniors that I've met are doing pretty well in their fields. If asked for their opinions, they would say the same.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course is pretty well. Classes are been taken regularly. Free Wi-Fi is available inside the college boundary. There are plenty of labs for science students. We have clean classrooms and a library with almost all kinds of books. The sports facilities are quite poor as this is a girls' college. But there has been progress in addition to sports. The mess is pretty small but hygienic.

Faculty: Professors are full of knowledge and helpful. They are concerned with our studies and help us out in every way possible. The semester exams are pretty well off. It is easy to pass if you study well. The passing mark is 22 out of 75.

The college is overall good.

Placements: There are 29 students in this batch, but we do not get placements. The package is not offered. Companies do not visit the college and I passed out in 2024. Still, I do not get placement. I do not think there are internships.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course is good because we have big classrooms and a library. The library is very helpful because we used to get all books we need for our syllabus. But the major problem is that the hostel is far away from the college. The college is in Hedua but the hostel is in Salt Lake. The food of the canteen is not so good.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They used to teach us very well, and they are really supportive in every situation. Exams are held semester-wise and they are not so difficult. We can get good marks and the pass percentage is 30%.

Other: I chose this course because I am very interested in this subject. It helps us to get good knowledge and know the political conditions of the world.

Bethune College review.

Placements: A good amount of students get placed every year, but that's not a huge number. Some reputed companies such as TCS, etc., come to recruit students in the final year of UG. Internships are not available in the botany department. The package is not that impressive.

Infrastructure: Labs are well-equipped with average to good maintenance. The hostel building is very well-furnished with clean floors and titles. Bathrooms are clean as well. 24/7 Wi-Fi is available. The food quality is impressive. Bus service is available from the hostel to the college.

Faculty: The faculty of almost all departments are high quality. Teachers are friendly with students. They are quite helpful. Students can clarify their doubts from teachers easily. Semester exams in college are quite tough. Thorough reading is very much required.

I am satisfied with this college.

Placements: Recruiting companies for our course are TCS, etc. Placements happen every year and companies visit the college to recruit students for different positions. However, not many students get placed every year. Overall, the recruitment percentage is not that high but still, it is appreciable.

Infrastructure: There are well-equipped labs, projectors in many classrooms, and a well-stocked departmental library. The library even has some of the expensive foreign books and students can take them for reference and can even get a printout of them. Hostel rooms are of high quality with an all-time Wi-Fi connection.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and friendly. The teaching quality is really nice. Practical classes conducted by the teachers are really informative and helpful. The most important thing is that the teachers are well-approachable to the students. Semester exams are moderately tough.
