Good but Un lazy happened.

Placements: Placement was good but it was not a perfect and cannot stand among the top Universities. In my batch we received between 3Lc two digits packages. Our batch was not getting placement. There was a small number of students who got placement on the placement cell but its good.

Suri Vidyasagar College, Burdwan University review.

Placements: There is a placement in written format, not fully supporting the actual life. But you should expect placement that happens from here. There are too limited courses and particular eligibility for their placement; providing placement has too limited seat numbers.

Good faculty and affordable fees.

Placements: I was from the BCA batch and the placement of the college was very limited as it was a very small college. Some internships were available from Infosys and other firms, but direct placement from campus was very hard to secure. Most students in this college preferred higher studies like MCA or applied for jobs off-campus to build their careers.

A peaceful place to learn and grow.

Placements: 0% students got placed from our course. There is no package variation in our college because no companies have come for placement. There are no recruiting companies in our course because no placement cell is there. 80%-85% of students got internships from my course, which is provided by our college. Roles offered in our course, many students go for government exam preparations, and some have gone for higher studies.

I actually love the college and also the teachers. They are very helpful and cooperative.

Placements: It's very easy to get a placement in this college. They don't judge you according to your ability. But they focus on building your ability stronger. Basically, 90 per cent of the students get placed in high-ranking and good-ranking jobs. Our batch has not passed out yet.

Suri Vidyasagar College is an excellent academic institution.

Placements: In recent years, Zoology was a hotcake subject in Birbhum district, some newspapers also covered it, so all seats of Suri Vidyasagar College were filled. Same package for everyone, 25000 for the total course. Placement is not offered in this course. 40% students got internships like Tech Mahindra, Internshala, ICICI Bank, and Tata AIA. I joined the Tata AIA as a senior team leader.
