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.

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.

Competitive learning environment, and useful despite some limitations.
Placements: In my batch, around 50-60% of students got placed. The highest package offered is approximately 4 LPA, the lowest is 1.8 LPA, and the average package ranges between 2.5 LPA to 3 LPA. Some of the notable companies that recruited from our course included ABP, ETV Bharat, Times Internet, Zee Media, ANI, and a few digital marketing agencies. Around 20% of students received internships at ABP, News18, and other local media houses and PR agencies. The major roles offered are reporter, content writer, media researcher, video editor, social media executive, and PR trainee.
Infrastructure: Our department has Wi-Fi and smart classroom facilities. However, there is no separate library for our department. For media studies, there are some basic equipments like cameras, tripods, and editing software, but they are limited in number. Hostel facilities are fairly good, and the quality of food in the canteen is moderate, though the menu lacks much variety. Overall, college infrastructure is suitable for academic purposes. However, our department does not have its own library, and media equipment is limited. The campus has smart classrooms and Wi-Fi. Our canteen is very well-maintained.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members in our department are experienced, knowledgeable, and supportive. The classes related to media theory and reporting are especially effective. The course curriculum is fairly up-to-date, though it needs more focus on emerging trends. Training or workshops on important software would have been beneficial. Semester exams are moderately difficult, but it is possible to pass with proper preparation. The pass percentage is around 85-90%.
Other: I chose the B.A. honors in journalism and mass communication course because I had a strong interest in media. The course includes reporting, content writing, video editing, public relations, and some practical assignments, all of which are helpful. College organized major annual events, sports activities, and celebrated all kinds of festivals. We also received various scholarships during our academic years. Overall, the college infrastructure and academic environment are quite good.

A college to make you a legend.
Placements: In our journalism department, we were around 35 students. We got the package of Adobe Audition, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Premium Pro learning; this was included in the lab. Seminars are where a lot of students get their first job. We had been offered roles like freelance reporting, content writing, poster making, and other back-desk roles.
Infrastructure: Vivekananda College has free Wi-Fi for students. In the main lab, we have around 50 computers, and the mini labs have around 7 or 8 computers. Our library has plenty of books on different subjects, and you could get books to read and borrow. There is no hostel available, but there are a lot of PGs available that are budget-friendly, just 200 meters away from our college.
Faculty: Professors are helpful, and their system of teaching was something else; we got a lot of stuff to know from them. Most of them are Ph.D. qualified. Overall, their behavior and helping nature were too good to be explained. Exams were quite hard, but through their tactics, we always got about 70 to 80% marks in our exams.
Other: Journalism and mass communication is a subject where you can learn a lot of stuff, and there is a lot of scope if you choose this course. We also did a workshop; it was fun and also informative.
