I prefer this college if any of my buddies want to enjoy college life entirely

Placements: There were several opportunities on campus, but a few, because on campus, one can get a job if he was capable. Outside of the campus was the same thing, but there was a chance and more opportunities off campus, all over the state or country.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was quite good, and the computer lab was also good. Everything was very good, and the staff were also very supportive. College union is also good. College washrooms were good, and there was filtered water for drinking. The library was huge, and the classrooms were quite good.

Faculty: Teachers were very friendly and supportive, but at the University of Calcutta, its difficult to pass semester exams. Their teaching quality was quite impressive in practical terms. I must say its worth the money paid for admission to any courses in the college.

Other: There were many facilities in the college, its a huge campus area with a huge playground, so its pretty cool. Everyone knows Vivekanand College for its social events, and many celebrities like K., Sonu Nigam, Nakas Aziz came to the college.

Vivekananda College review for B.Com (Hons).

Placements: My college placement for B.Com (hons) is very limited. There are no proper placement opportunities, and reputed companies rarely visit. Few that come are mostly for sales roles, like Bajaj Allianz and HDFC Life, which don't match the career expectations of most students. Placements are limited, mostly sales roles, so higher studies or external opportunities are better.

Infrastructure: At Vivekananda College, Thakurpukur has decent infrastructure with spacious classrooms, a library, computer labs, and a large playground. However, facilities are quite basic, and maintenance could be better. Campus environment is peaceful but lacks modern amenities found in top colleges.

Faculty: Teachers in B.Com (Hons) CBCS are helpful but the way of teaching differs from one to another. The syllabus is wide but not very practical. Exams happen on time, though most papers test memory more than real understanding, so it does not feel fully useful for future jobs.

Other: At Vivekananda College, Thakurpukur is good for B.Com (hons) with decent faculty members, peaceful campus, and supportive environment. A good choice if you want affordable education with a calm atmosphere.

Review of Vivekananda College, Kolkata.

Placements: In my course, not many students got placed. The placement percentage is very low. There are hardly any companies visiting our campus for recruitment. No big or well-known recruiting companies come, and there are no proper placement drives organized. As a result, students do not get good opportunities or specific roles through college placement. Most of us have to look for jobs or internships on our own outside the campus.

Infrastructure: College has decent infrastructure with proper classrooms and labs. Labs are well-equipped, and new instruments are available for practical learning. Teachers guide us properly during lab sessions, which is helpful. Hostel and canteen facilities are available. But the quality of food in the canteen is not very good and is a bit costly. There are also some outside shops near the campus where students can get food. Overall, the infrastructure is fine. But the mess and canteen need improvement. The labs are good and equipped with the necessary facilities, and we often get to try new things during practicals. Teachers also guide us well in the lab sessions. However, when it comes to hostel and food facilities, the situation is not great. There is no proper canteen or indoor food shop available, so we usually have to buy food from outside. Hostel and mess facilities are lacking. There are no proper arrangements for snacks or meals within the campus. Overall, the infrastructure is average with decent labs but poor hostel and food facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and supportive, and they do their job well in teaching as well as in practical labs. The course curriculum is quite regular and covers the necessary subjects. But it is not fully updated to make students industry-ready. Exams are conducted on time and are of moderate difficulty level, so most students are able to pass if they study properly. Overall, the faculty members are good. But the curriculum needs more updates to match current industry requirements.

Other: I chose this course for my graduate degree, need more theory classes and better placements.

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.
