I am absolutely satisfied with my teachers' support.

Placements: In my time, there were 56 students. On average, the fee for the whole course is 30k, and in my course, there is an excursion that costs 9k. There are no opportunities for internships from my college. Since this is a government college, you don't get a job.

Infrastructure: Our college is a heritage building with many historical touches. The classrooms are also quite old, but it's a memorable part of Vidyasagar. Labs, a library, and a gym are available. However, there are no hostel facilities in my college, but my university does offer hostel accommodations.

Faculty: Yes, our teachers are very helpful, and our principal is kind-hearted. For me, the best college for this course is Vidyasagar College. The semester exams are a bit hard, but I think my university is the best because those who pass from there get the best opportunities in their future.

Other: I chose this subject because I love it, and I believe it's very good since it provides practical experience. In my college, many festivals are celebrated, such as Freshers' Party, Basanta Utsav, Independence Day, and Republic Day.

It is the best college in Kolkata to take admission for the B.Sc. geography Hons Course.

Placements: You can't get placed by pursuing B.Sc. Geography Hons course, but you can give the competitive exam very well by following this course, and the faculty is outstanding. You can instead do M.Sc. in various fields like oceanography, hydrology and the most popular, geoinformatics, and you get a job.

Infrastructure: The college is non-AC. But the 24/7 Wi-Fi is there. The infrastructure is good, but the building could be better because it is old and you can find its heritage. Unfortunately, there is no hostel facility. If you are willing to live beside the college, you have to choose to pay guests, and there is plenty of paying guest rooms for boys and girls at a low price.

Faculty: The faculty is good, as you can expect from this college. The college has the most rated department as it has highly qualified teachers who also teach M.Sc. courses at the same college, and you will feel proud if you get admission to this college for Hons.

Other: You are getting admission to this college because it has the oldest geography department in Kolkata and, in a greater sense, West Bengal. Secondly, it is the first college in India established by an Indian, and the person was ISHWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR.

It is good in all aspect.

Placements: Placements are quite good in my college.88%of students in our college got placed in many good and big companies. Out of all many of them got recruited by TCS. The highest salary as per I know is 90,000rs. Our college got a placement cell too and it is too useful.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is working all the time. As well as the classrooms are too good, hostel rooms are okay. And food provided in canteen is fresh and available in cheap price. The lab facilities are good. We got a well maintained lab and our lab trachers are too good.

Faculty: Our teachers are too helpful and kind and they are highly qualified as well and modern teaching methods are used. The teaching methods are too good they are too helpful. The course curriculum is too helpful. I really appreciate the teaching staff of my college and as well the way they teach.

Other: The poor students gets scholarships from the college, fest happens once in the year, other than that a lot seminars are organized for the students.

Dissatisfied with my experience here as the faculty didn't encourage the students much.

Placements: No placements were conducted or were even given a thought by the committee. No such arrangements were made for placements. Students were not encouraged to pursue post graduation with the same subject; they don't even think about the same. So, I cannot comment on placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college wasn't very fascinating. The classrooms of the geography department were congested. However, classrooms were nice and tidy, and they were never dirty. The toilets were uncleaned. The quality of food provided in the canteen was poor. There were well-established labs. The infrastructure is old, and it might collapse anytime. It would give a vibe of a gloomy environment.

Faculty: Teachers were helpful and knowledgeable. Their techniques were quite effective. Even the lab assistants were very helpful and cooperative all the time. The office staff members were very nice and were always willing to help in any manner.

This is a heritage college. Teachers are very much helpful. The infrastructure is developing.

Placements: This college does not provide you with the placement, but if you graduated from this college, then you can carry forward your career to higher study like MA/M.Sc. Approximately, 80% of students took a chance for the higher study, and others, they just try for the better job in their comparative field.

Infrastructure: This is a very old college. Three seasons of classes are held here, morning, mid-day and evening. Wi-Fi facilities are available here, but professor just uses this, and sometimes, they provided it for students. Annual games are held every year. One general and one girls' common room is also found here. Basically, indoor games like carrom, table tennis are played, but we missed a huge playground.

Faculty: We are very grateful for learning from the teachers of this college. They are very helpful and qualified. Sometimes, we found lack of infrastructure, but they do their best. Basically, subject wise, the student to the teacher ratio is different. The study is mainly based on board method, and sometimes it is digital.

Other: Every year, a huge fest is held on the college campus. Also, student union organised a freshers programme. The campus is situated just beside the college street, so the connectivity is good. Sports, cultural programme is also held at this college.
