Like every other thing on Earth, my college is a combination of yin and yang, the good and the bad.

Placements: Those students who want to do jobs after Bachelors degree are placed in reputed organizations. Some good companies recruit from our college. Many students did internships even before passing out at companies like Radio Mirchi, Google, etc.

Infrastructure: The lab is well-maintained. But some of the equipment is defunct, which causes a lot of issues. I don't live in the hostel so I don't know about the hostel. The food offered in canteen is good.

Faculty: Asutosh College has the best faculty of Journalism in Kolkata, which is universally accepted. The teaching quality is great with friendly, approachable teachers. Everyone passes the exams, even though they are quite tough. The course is in tandem with requirements in the modern field for the betterment of the students.
