A college that fulfills our dreams.
Placements: In our batch, around 70-75% of students from my course are successfully placed through campus placements. The highest package offered is around ₹10-12 LPA, while the lowest is around ₹3 LPA. On average, most students received offers in the range of ₹4.5-6 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college provides fairly good infrastructure and facilities for students. The classrooms are spacious with projectors and basic equipment, while the library is well-stocked with academic as well as reference books. Wi-Fi connectivity is available in most parts of the campus, though at times it could be improved. The department also has decent labs and computer facilities that are adequate for academic projects. Hostel facilities are average but manageable, with clean rooms and access to basic amenities. The food served in the mess and canteen is okay.
Faculty: Faculty of the college is highly qualified, supportive, and approachable. They explain concepts clearly and encourage students to think critically, making the teaching quality quite effective. The curriculum is relevant and updated, helping students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical exposure, which makes them industry-ready. Faculty members also guide students with projects, internships, and research work. The semester exams are moderately difficult but fair, testing both the understanding and application of the syllabus. With regular preparation, students can easily score well, and the overall pass percentage remains high, making academics balanced and student-friendly.
Other: I chose this course because of my strong interest in media, communication, and storytelling, and the curriculum offered here aligns well with my career goals. The best part of the course is the balance of theoretical and practical learning, along with exposure to projects and internships. The campus life is lively with cultural fests, debates, and workshops that encourage creativity and networking. The crowd is diverse and engaging, which makes learning more collaborative. However, I feel the course could improve further by upgrading practical labs and adding more industry tie-ups to strengthen internship and

Just go for it. It's a good college in everything.
Placements: 70% of students are placed in my course. ABP Ananda is one of the top recruiting companies. Roles vary based on everyone's capability and their passion. The package varies based on the job category or post. Basically, if a student wants to do any internship, my college provides internships in various news companies in Kolkata.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is free, labs are also good, classrooms are okay, but the library needs some more books for our subject. I don't know about the hostel, but I heard once that it's good. The canteen food is awesome and at a low price. Even medical facilities are available for emergencies, and one room is available for game practice. Every year, our college participates in or plans games.
Faculty: Our teachers are qualified and good teachers. Our course is curriculum-relevant, and it makes students ready for the industry and for every company. Questions are moderate to hard. About the passing percentage, I don't have any idea because I'm a good student, so I always get good marks, and I don't have any idea about the passing marks.
Other: I chose the course because I was interested in mass media and new technologies, so I chose it. More updated versions of computers, more books in the library, and even bigger classrooms need to be improved, I think. Events, fests, campus, crowd, campus surroundings, scholarships, and extracurricular activities are all so good and well-maintained.

I would always say that our government college is a very good institution.
Placements: In this course, 40% of our college students get placed. The fee per semester is ₹5,000, with the highest being ₹6,000 and the lowest being ₹3,500. Good students are recruited by media houses. Around 30 to 40% are recruited by companies like ABP News and Zee 24 Ghanta for roles such as editing, reporting, news office work, and field work.
Infrastructure: Our college labs, classrooms, and library are fully air-conditioned and have free Wi-Fi for the entire college campus. Our college canteen's food quality is not bad. Medical facilities are always available, as are free-time study places and a TT room, which means an indoor games room. Our college is a government one, so this is always a good thing.
Faculty: Our college teachers are very good; all classes are held on time, and doubt classes are always available. Our teachers are highly qualified and very knowledgeable. Yes, there is always practical and fieldwork practice, and this makes the students industry-ready. No, it is very easy, and the pass percentage is 93%.
Other: I chose this course because of the good placements and good job opportunities. Our college always has good events, fests, and campus crowd activities.

It is a pathfinder for students.
Placements: 70% of students get placed in our course. 5-7% of students got internships from my college in India Today, Tata Group, etc. Field reporting, content, or desk jobs are the top roles offered in our course. Seminars are the best thing that our course provides to students.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms, department, labs, canteen, library, and Wi-Fi are available. Every facility is number 1. For everything, I would rate 10 out of 10. Even the canteen, medical facilities, sports, and games are good. The level of food quality in the canteen is also very good, and it's definitely improving day by day.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, understanding, and loving. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Exams are not so difficult if students attend classes. The pass percentage is 100%. It has the best faculty members.
Other: I found this course helpful for me, so I chose it. It made me confident. The best thing about this course is that it has so many paths to find an actual field for someone. Events, fests, and extracurricular activities are also good, enjoyable, and most likely for students. Scholarships are available.

Vivekananda College: Presidency College of South Kolkata.
Placements: There are 30% to 40% of students placed in my course in different media houses. The students basically do internships, and that is yearly 60,000 Rs. Top recruitment is from various small media houses and online platforms. Very few percentages of students got internships from my course, and the companies are also small. The top role is either to do higher studies or join a media house.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms have Wi-Fi, the lab is fully AC, Wi-Fi, smart gadgets, multimedia player, board, duster. The library is full of books, so many books that you don’t have to buy from other shops. This college doesn’t provide a hostel, but you can get various PGs beside the college. The canteen is overpriced, and the cook is average. The college has a cricket and a football team.
Faculty: Teachers are always there to help, well-learned, well-maintained, qualified, and knowledgeable. This course is not so much curriculum-relevant. Students have to do 2–3 internships to be industry-ready. Semester exams are not very hard. You have to go to a different college to give the exam.
Other: I chose the course because I wanted to be a journalist. The best thing is this course has so much fieldwork, which is very important for the next work life. This college has many more events: Freshers, Teachers' Day, Farewell, government holidays, and various fairs that happen in the college. Students can get the Vivekananda Scholarship if they score 60% in the past exams.
