Great place for a master's in economics.
Placements: Quite many companies approach the placement cell. 40 to 50 students out of around 180 get placed on campus. There are some companies that have revoked promised offers. Roles mainly include data analyst and sales. One can secure a 6 LPA package if he/she is sincere throughout the course.
Infrastructure: There is an extensive library with all required books. One can even access central library of main campus, which is huge. Classes are air conditioned, and software is taught in labs. There is a homely feeling, with a homely canteen and a wonderful vibe.
Faculty: Teachers are best in business, with high accolades. They try their best to clear concepts and support you after class. Exams are of standard difficulty, but nothing comes out of the syllabus. It will be 2 years of gaining extensive knowledge about economics.

Good for studies and teachers are good.
Placements: No higher or active placement cell was there. Students had to find out about the placements and reach out to companies. Mostly students opted for higher studies after the course. Students could join internships with the faculty and help them in their work. Final-year students got internships easily in companies.
Infrastructure: Average infrastructure and facilities for the students included like labs, average size classrooms, an auditorium, a huge ground and court, medical rooms, labs, etc. They had a big library with all the important books. The quality of the facilities in the hostel was also above average according to their prices.
Faculty: My course curriculum was not much relevant and it did not make students properly industry-ready because they stuck to the books and theory only. Teachers were qualified and knowledgeable. They helped us a lot. Semester exams were moderate level and easy to pass with 33%.

My 2 Years in Calcutta University Department of Economics
Placements: Calcutta University's Department of Economics has a separate placement cell, but the placement scenario is not that good. Deloitte, TCS, Genpact, and Accenture are among the companies that take students for their job roles like Senior Executive, Marketing Analyst, Business Analyst, and Data Science Associate. All the requirements have three stages of testing online: the 1st round of elimination and the 2nd round of elimination. However, the overall placement scenario depends on the marks of the 1st semester (at least 6 CGPA will be workable). The placement scenario on campus is not that satisfactory. The placement committee contains a placement officer, six students, and two faculty placement coordinators.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good. We have a computerized lab for Econometrics and Operations Research. There is a separate common room for girls and separate rooms for research scholars. We also have a well-furnished canteen. Additionally, we have an Analytics Club, Photography Club, Quiz Club, Oratory Club, Sports Club, and Recreational Club, and we have an Event Management Committee and an Ecovision Committee. We have a well-stuffed library containing all the required books, e-library facilities, a computer room, and Wi-Fi connection for university students. As a government college, the fees are not that costly.
Faculty: Our course curriculum has content pressure; we have five papers in our 1st semester: 1) Advanced Indian Economics, 2) Mathematical Economics, 3) Microeconomics, 4) Macroeconomics, and 5) Econometrics. In the 2nd semester, we have another five papers: 1) Microeconomics, 2) Macroeconomics, 3) Econometrics, 4) Development Economics, and 5) History of Economic Thought. In the 3rd and 4th semesters, we have three special papers based on the marks of the 1st semester, and we also have group projects and general elective papers. Game Theory and Econometrics are the toughest among them, while Marxian Economics is the unique one. Our faculties are very well qualified and have their PhDs from renowned institutes in India and abroad. We also have guest faculties from ISI, St. Xavier's College, Ramakrishna Mission Belur, etc.
Other: Calcutta University's Department of Economics has a social media and PR cell, Ecovision Committee, Oratory Club, Analytics Club, Photography Club, Quiz Club, Recreational Club, Sports Club, Placement Committee (with six coordinators), and an Event Organizing Committee. We have fests like the Ecovision Educational Fest, Freshers, Farewell, Teachers' Day, Rabindra Jayanti, and departmental picnics. Scholarships available include SVYMCM and National Post Matric Scholarships, SC/ST scholarships, etc.

Need to improve the university.
Placements: From sixth semester, students were eligible to get placement. Seven companies, like Wipro and Infosys, visit our college each year to fulfill their job vacancies. Nearly every year, around 30 to 40% of students get jobs from the campus. Highest paying package here is 5 LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Well-equipped labs, Wi-Fi, spacious classrooms, and comprehensive library are available. Hostel facilities are satisfactory, having clean rooms and decent amenities. Mess and canteen offer many food options. Medical facilities are adequate, but there are no options for sports and games.
Faculty: The faculty members-to-student ratio is above 50:50. Faculty members organize events such as dance competitions, quizzes, drawing competitions, and debates. Not many teachers are despicable in this college, as everyone is very sincere in their jobs. There are two exams taken each year.
Other: Every year, several festivals are celebrated throughout the year in this college.

All about University of Calcutta.
Placements: The placement cell is organized in a professional manner, headed by student coordinators of the department. From Semester 2 onwards, students become eligible to sit for placements. Top IT companies like EXL, HSBC Bank, Genpact, Accenture, Infosys, and many others come for recruitment. Decent packages are provided, with an average package of 6 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this university is good, with a well-maintained campus. The annual college fest, Nexus, is held every year from December to March, in addition to other departmental fests. The college library houses a large number of books and journals required for the curriculum as well as for self-study. There are departmental libraries too. Smart class provisions are available, sports events are held regularly, mainly inter-departmental and sometimes inter-college. The social service group, Roddur, provides free education, clothes, food, and study materials to underprivileged children.
Faculty: There are two professors for every 100 students, which I think is enough. Many of the professors have done their PhDs. Class tests are held just a month before the internal exams, which helps identify any shortcomings. The approach of the professors is problem-based, which reduces the chance of encountering any completely unseen problems when it comes to the syllabus. The interaction between the professors and students is appreciable, considering the extra amount of effort given by the professors to help prepare us for our careers, moreover, the presence of projectors and laptops in the classrooms has further eased the process of learning for the students.
