I would not strongly recommend this college if you are looking for placements.

Placements: I am currently in Semester IV of B.Com Honours. Our college does not have a proper placement cell so students do not get direct placement opportunities from campus. Most students have to search for jobs on their own after graduation. From what I have seen students who passed out earlier usually get starting salaries around Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 96,000 per month depending on their skills and connections. No major companies visiting the campus and internship opportunities are also not provided by the ...

Although the curriculum is good and relevant, it turned out to be just a graduation degree for me.

Placements: No such placement process was there, just a general degree college, it was. If you want to do something, you have to find opportunities off campus. No recruitments or no companies hiring in this college. Each of the students who were involved in any kind of internship had found the opportunities by themselves.

It is a nice college. Everything is good here.

Placements: Around 50-60 percent of students get placed. The lowest package offered ranges from 2-3 LPA. The highest package offered ranges from 5-6 LPA. Companies like Tata, Wipro, etc., recruit freshers from here. The maximum number of students got internships in many private companies. Roles like general manager, senior manager, etc., are given by many companies.

It is a good college. Don't expect huge placements and a salary.

Placements: 10-20 percent of students got placed after completing their course. The lowest package offered is 2.4, and the average package offered 3 LPA. Tata Consultancy Services is the top company that recruits students, as far as I know. 20-30 percent of students got internships from my course. I don't know about the top roles offered to students.

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.
