About the Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce
Placements: Genuinely, we need to accept the fact that an M.A. in English does not have any good placements except becoming an English tutor. The college does not provide any internships; we have to approach some private coaching centers, which is the easiest way to find an internship. From a placement point of view, some students do a 6-month IT course and get jobs in IT companies, but most of us become teachers, government servants, or are still unemployed. If the coaching center is good, it offers a salary of up to ₹30,000 per month. However, most of the time, the college does not help you find a job. The fact is there are not enough jobs in the industry for our field.
Infrastructure: The college doesn't have a big campus; it is surrounded by 3 large buildings and a ramp area. There is no playground in the college, but the facilities are commendable. Wi-Fi service is available everywhere on the campus. Toilets and the college surroundings are always clean. The college library has many books, novels, newspapers, and study materials. We can take any book by just showing an ID card. The college hostel is good but not affordable for everyone. However, facilities like room space and hygienic food are well-maintained. The canteen is good and has beverages and breakfast food.
Faculty: I took admission here because the college holds a reputation, but sadly the faculty is disappointing. Rather than focusing on teaching, others are busy with fests and events. They do not clear our doubts, and no study material is provided for any course. Considering the college ranking, it is not good. The course is good in covering almost all aspects of English, from history to the modern era. The course focuses on literary theories and criticism like Aristotle, Roland Barthes, and so on. During the final exam, we need to write a dissertation on a preferred topic in brief.
