3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
Feels budget friendly, well-reputed, campus and crowd are quite good.
Placements: The number of students recruited every year varies and is significantly on the lower side. There is no scope for campus placements, as the university and college do not commence them. Students mainly make connections by joining multiple internships or through second (or more) generation lawyer friends by contacting their relatives.
Infrastructure: Our college does not have a hostel or canteen. The classrooms and library are clean and well maintained. The condition of the washrooms is quite bad and unhygienic. The college is a 6-storey building, and it has a well-functioning lift with a capacity of about 400 kgs. There is no scope for games, no playgrounds and no dedicated indoor gaming rooms. There is a gym, but it is as good as useless.
Faculty: The teachers are biased and partial. Almost every teacher performs favouritism in the college. Classes are not conducted or organized professionally or efficiently. The curriculum is not relevant, however, a new syllabus which is somewhat modern and relevant is being introduced and will be adapted in 2026. Until now, students are not made industry-ready by the college itself. Semester exams are ridiculously scheduled. Some exams are taken 10 months later, and the subsequent ones are conducted within just 2–3 months. The pass percentage is quite good, about 80 percent, and the exams follow a common pattern based on PYQs.
Other: My father is an advocate of the Calcutta High Court. I have always liked this profession. The course allows one to help the justice system, which is very necessary in our country. Official events are conducted regularly, and the crowd is somewhat good.

Great value for money, very safe for women. Infrastructure is also great.
Placements: Various companies send their HR or people from their company to our college for placements and recruitment. They give a training session where if students attend at least 75 to 80 percent of the training sessions, it is easier for them to get internships in these companies, and if they do well, they even get a letter of recommendation and get placed for a job in these companies.
Infrastructure: All of the classrooms are smart with smart boards, mic, and other facilities. It is also air-conditioned, although there is only one building, yet all the rooms are well-equipped. There is a library, a physical one, and also an e-library, and there are more than 3-4 labs that have Mac computers and other facilities.
Faculty: All the teachers are well qualified, not only that, but also they teach their subject extremely well, and they are very approachable when you come up to them with any kind of trouble, they help you out. The course curriculum focuses on the basics.
Other: There are various clubs in societies in the college, like a debate club, a dancing club, a sports club, a singing club, etc. The campus isn't very big and is only open after 3:00 PM and on Saturday. The college also has fests. These clubs and societies help you brush up on your skills.

Very good infrastructure and experienced faculty.
Placements: The placements are not satisfactory, not many people get placed after completing this course. Most of us pursue higher studies in this field. The placement cell of the college is quite helpful and its representative always tries to help us in the best way possible.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms have built in projectors and computers which help teachers to present the slides on the screens. The canteen is really affordable and the food is quite tasty, plus the ambience of the canteen is very soothing. The mess of the hostel is also quite nice.
Faculty: Our professors are highly experienced and very proficient in their field of work. Their classes are always exam oriented. Frequent assessment through class tests also made us exam ready from day 1. The professors are really friendly and helpful towards the students.

Asutosh College can be a good option if you want to pursue a B.Sc. in Statistics in Kolkata.
Placements: Companies like TCS, Wipro, Accenture, and Genpact recruit offering packages from 3 LPA to 8 LPA. I think it's average or lower than average, but you can't expect more from here (there can be exceptions). You have to go for off-campus placements for better opportunities.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are average or above average with almost everything available. The quality of food in the canteen is good. There are proper medical facilities, sports, and the college also encourages students to participate in sports, games, and other activities.
Faculty: Teachers are well-experienced and knowledgeable. This course doesn't make students industry-ready (you have to learn other skills like Excel, Power BI, and at least basic coding). The course is mathematics-based so it's all concept-based. The passing percentage of semester exams is 40 percent for every paper.
Other: I chose this course as I want to pursue a career in data science later. This course is all theory-based which doesn't make students industry-ready (you have to learn other skills) which is a drawback and you have to do a master's to get a high-paying job.

It has good faculty members and a campus with a clean and good environment.
Placements: The beginning salary package offered ranges from 3-4 LPA after graduation, as per my knowledge. The highest salary package offered is 5 LPA. There are pretty good placements in this economy where graduation is a very common degree. The fee is very affordable, and teachers are accessible throughout the day. The placement cell is also active for any queries.
Infrastructure: It has a good campus with a good environment. It is kept clean with good management. There is no ragging, and students need to submit an anti-ragging form beforehand that clearly states rustication as punishment if found guilty of ragging. Seniors are also pretty helpful. Overall, the college has a very nice vibe.
Faculty: Our college has good faculty members and teachers. They are helpful with seamless communication, even via WhatsApp. Regular classes and attendance are encouraged by teachers. Full help is provided from their end to solve any queries of students. Class tests are also conducted every once in a while, along with presentation demos.

Colleges are good for students.
Placements: In terms of placement, the college stands poorly. Course placement does not happen every year, and if any company comes for placement, they don't offer at least the industry average. Companies like PWC, Deloitte, ITC, and Tata come for placements. The highest package is 3.80 LPA, the lowest is 1.20 LPA, and the average package is 2.40 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good, but not up to the mark. There are Wi-Fi labs, classrooms are large and in good condition, and the library is also good. The hostel is upto the mark, and the canteen's food is below average. No sports arena or gymnasium available.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, cooperative, and knowledgeable. The new curriculum is relevant but does not follow the exact curriculum of the college. The exam's difficulty level is medium, the internal examination is too easy, and the external examination is set by the university, which is moderate.
Other: The college location is good, near a metro station. This is an evening college. Extracurricular activities like the Freshers' Call Syambhab. Debt competition is there. Multiple webinar-related businesses, progress of youth, and financial literacy were organized by our college.
