Become a Caledonian like us.
Placements: I am not involved in any internships yet, but I will provide information based on my friends' experiences. This college does offer internships, with companies like TATA, WIPRO, and many other tech companies recruiting students from this college.
Infrastructure: Despite being one of the oldest colleges in Kolkata, it still boasts excellent infrastructure and architecture. The college provides Wi-Fi, labs, a library, a canteen, a games room, and various other rooms for specific activities. There are different types of clubs, such as drama, singing, and more.
Faculty: The quality of education provided is very good and beneficial for students. The teachers, staff members, and faculty are cooperative and understanding. The teachers are very helpful and highly educated.
Other: Overall, it is a very good experience to be at this college and to be in such a great environment.

It is an outstanding college where you will love to get admitted.
Placements: There are around 70% of the students who were placed. Top recruiting companies include Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, and more. Certain students get job offers just after college for teaching and all. The highest salary package was 8 LPA.
Infrastructure: There is a proper library with old and rare books. The hotel is amazing and clean. Students are really happy to stay in the hostel. The food is tasty.
Faculty: Teachers are all foreign returns. Everyone is good at teaching, and we are lucky to have lecturers like them. They are very helpful and friendly. Sometimes when we are stuck on something, the professor helps us and makes us understand the problem.
Other: I chose this course as I was very much interested in it. I always used to say that I would be admitted to this course as it was a good course.

There are amazing faculty members, but the infrastructure is poor.
Placements: If you study arts here, companies don't visit our college for recruitment, and it was the situation during our tenure. I really don't know whether this situation has changed or not now. I hope our college has at least started providing internships even though not providing placements.
Infrastructure: Classrooms were old here. It is a very old college, so it somewhat looks eerie with huge French windows and fans. The building was a bit dilapidated. However, the library had good books. During my tenure, our college didn't provide Wi-Fi facility, and everything available here looks pretty like the old school.
Faculty: Faculty members here were really good. Professors were knowledgeable and quite helpful. The only drawback was that for general subjects, professors sometimes are from Bengal, so as I was a non-Bengali, it was pretty difficult to grasp things. Overall, the teaching was pretty good. Faculty members in the literature department were one of the best in Calcutta University.
Other: I always had a knack for literature, so I have chosen this course. My favourite subject was victorian literature. Our college should surely improve the infrastructure, and the professors need to think that there are non-Bengal students in the classroom while teaching. The campus crowd wasn't up to the mark as most of them are nerds.

Review of Scottish Church College.
Placements: Students with good skill in the English language were offered placements. During the final year, companies like Indigo visited here to offer jobs. A good percentage of students got placed. Positions that were offered by Indigo were mainly like that of ground staff.
Infrastructure: The English department of Scottish Church College has shaped my aim and interests to enable me to pursue literature in my further studies. The library has a huge number of books which allow students to study with peace. The library is also silent enough to let students study.
Faculty: Teaching which we received in the college was not only limited to college but also always gave us the scope of discovering the bigger world. The course which I have enrolled doesn't aim to make students industry-ready, but it makes students prepare for further studies or sit for exams of jobs.

Review of Scottish Church College.
Placements: The placement cell during our course duration was not very active for the art department, but students of B.Com and B.A did have a better experience comparatively. Some of the students got placed with Indigo. Currently, the placement cell is more active than before.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities provided in our college were good. The library was extremely helpful. We had Wi-Fi which helped us in our research. The hostel, canteen and sports ground are quite good and well managed by the college. The college has a store which lets the students buy books and stationery items at a specifically discounted price.
Faculty: Scottish College gave me some of my best learning experience. I was lucky to be blessed with such learned teachers who were ready to help us whenever required. The curriculum followed by the college was Calcutta University. It primarily focuses on creating a strong base of the subject for the student, which plays an important role in higher studies.
