Placements: In the course of B.A. English, approximately 60% students in my course got placed. The highest package was offered in my course. Approximately 80% students got internships from my course in many companies. Top roles are branch manager, HR, and english teacher in school. Top recruiting companies are Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available, and classrooms are very clean with comfortable benches. The library is full of many books. The quality of the facilities in my hostel is very good. The canteen is very clean and neat. Medical facilities are also available. Sports and games are available.

Faculty: Teachers are friendly and trained. They are intelligent and have sharp minds. That course prepares the students. The semester exams are not difficult if you attend all the lectures, and then the exams will be easy for you. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose the course because I love English, that’s why. If your marks are approximately 60%, then you get the Swami Vivekananda scholarship.

It was a good experience with affordable prices and good infrastructure.

Placements: There were no placements at my college, so no companies were coming at that time. No roles were offered at that time, but the experience was good. There were no internship facilities at our college, but now they provide some basic facilities apart from placement.

Infrastructure: There were good infrastructure facilities, like Wi-Fi, labs, and grounds. There was a separate room for festivals and other programs. The quality of the hostel was good, with great food and space. There were proper medical facilities and games provided to the students.

Faculty: Teachers were helpful and useful. They made our learning very easy and fruitful. The curriculum was relevant. No, basically, it does not make us industry-ready but was helpful. It was at a satisfactory level, and the pass percentage was 90%.

Other: It was very affordable, and there were sports games every year.

Overall, good environment but teachers are negligent.

Placements: No placement was offered, and no companies visited the English department. I don't think any companies would visit to offer placements to students because of college's poor infrastructure. Even if any companies did visit, they would offer very low packages, which I would say poor packages.

Infrastructure: There is availability of Wi-Fi only in canteen and computer lab. Classrooms are average (a little dirty though). There is a library in the college where students can find any material related to the study of their subject. The food quality is average, sometimes they cook well and sometimes bad.

Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful and understanding while some are not at all. Teachers are knowledgeable. My only complaint is that some teachers teach only in Bengali and not in Hindi or English, which is very difficult to understand for non-Bengali community. Course curriculum is relevant but doesn't make students industry-ready. Teachers have basic knowledge of the subject matters, thanks to the introduction of NEP. I don't know the pass percentage, I think it is around 70%. Semester exams are easy and can be passed with regular study.

Other: I chose this course so that I can apply for B.Ed program to become a teacher. The best thing about our course is that I get to meet people of different ethnicities and interact with them as this college is a multiregional college. Teachers would be more interactive with students. College organizes grand freshers and social events every year, which is probably the best in Siliguri. Students gather together to celebrate the event and artists are invited to perform live in our college. College is very crowded during the events. Students can participate in different extracurricular activities, which include cricket, football, volleyball, and badminton. College gives opportunities to everyone to participate in it.

It is a nice college, you should also join.

Placements: Here's a more focused breakdown of the placement scene across the key colleges in Siliguri. In 2025, at Siliguri College (Government),14 companies participated, generating 52 offers, and 42 students secured placements. The average package is 3.2 LPA, and the highest is 5.8 LPA. However, independent student feedback suggests only 15-20% of students actually get placed through the college, with average starting salaries of around Rs. 15,000 per month (1.8 LPA). Siliguri College of Commerce reported nearly 90% placement. The average annual package is 3 LPA, and the packages range from 0.96 LPA to 3.5-5 LPA. Top recruiters include Tata AIA, Club Mahindra, Life Insurance Co., and various finance/business firms. The placement rate of Inspiria Knowledge Campus (Private) is around 80-95%, depending on the source.

Infrastructure: Siliguri's top colleges offer decent to good infrastructure, varying by type. Government colleges like Siliguri College and Surya Sen Mahavidyalaya have spacious campuses with libraries, basic labs, and sports grounds. But the older buildings may need upgrades. Inspiria Knowledge Campus and Siliguri Institute of Technology stand out for modern infrastructure, including Wi-Fi-enabled smart classrooms, incubation centers, industry-standard labs, auditoriums, and hostel facilities. Commerce College has adequate classrooms and computer labs, but they are more functional than fancy. Overall, private colleges here offer better amenities, while government ones focus more on academics with moderate facilities. Campus life is active, with cultural fests and clubs.

Faculty: Government colleges like Siliguri College and Surya Sen Mahavidyalaya have experienced and well-qualified professors, but sometimes lack industry exposure or updated methods. Private colleges like Inspiria or SIT focus more on industry-integrated teaching, with guest lectures and skill workshops. Faculty in commerce and management streams are generally supportive and approachable.
