Vivekananda College is one of the best colleges in Kolkata.

Placements: About 70% of students get jobs after doing this course. ABP, Zee, and other news agencies recruit students from this course. Students can become news anchors, professors, news reporters, and more, gaining knowledge different from other students.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
