The university is good with the good faculty and infrastructure, but the placements are poor.

Placements: Some MNCs visit for the campus placements. Most of the jobs based in Bangalore. About, 10% of the students got placed, and the others got jobs within a few months. The salary ranges from 15K to 30K. Genpact, Mu Sigma, Pradhan, Netscribes were some of the companies hire the students. Most of the students of economics got placed as the data analysts. There is a placement cell, which works to bring in companies or forward emails about the vacancies for the students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure provided was more or less sufficient. The library, the computer labs, and the common room with TT and carrom boards are good. The classrooms were big and airy. The canteen offers the food at the cheap rates. The medical facilities were slightly lacking, and there was no hostel provision.

Faculty: There was a blend of both good and bad teachers. But most were helpful and taught well. Mostly lecture method used was for the dissemination of knowledge. The certain projects were a part of the curriculum. We were a batch of about 200 students, with a faculty of about ten professors. The course curriculum was stressful but comprehensive.

Calcutta University, Economics Department

Placements: Placements efforts by the placement committee were commendable. 40% percentage of the students were placed. The syllabus is tilted towards academics. Hence, students willing to option for private sector shouldn't apply. However, in recent years the placement committee is really trying to bring companies. Lowest package offered was 3.25 LPA(Deloitte for transfer pricing role) and the highest was 7.75 LPA (HSBC). Companies like Genpact, Affine analytics, Ipsos, HSBC, Deloitte, Mu Sigma, Evalueserve, Pradan, Bridge i2i visited the campus. Analyst was the main position that was offered. Around 30 - 40% students got internship from college. The stipend is available only for meritorious and poor students (however it is of very small amount). Details is available in the placement brochure of Economics department, Calcutta University.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not very good. However, the practical labs are nice and are equipped with STATA. The department still dosesn't teach software like R. Classrooms are equipped with fully functional projectors. The library is also nice with a huge collection of books, articles, and journals. Internet facility is available free of cost and the department has subscriptions to famous online journals and articles. Area for games, however, is limited. Hostel rooms are not that good and food options are limited. However, the existing infrastructure needs to be strengthened.

Faculty: The faculty is really nice and qualified. However, they majorly give emphasis to academics and the student-teacher ratio is very poor with 250 students and 12 to 13 full-time teachers. Industry exposure was given through analytics seminar and summer analytics programme.

Other: The department should give more emphasis on finance topics so that financial institutions can also come for placement. Reducntant papers should be removed from the syllabus. Banking institutions dosen't come for placement. Also, it's difficult to score than other universities. Because of this, two companies didn't came for placement.
