Satisfied and advice to join.
Placements: Almost 80% of students get placed in my course. The highest package is 8 LPA and the lowest is 3.4 LPA. Companies like Cognizant, Wipro, TCS, Capgemini, EY, PWC, and others visit for placements. They don’t provide any internship opportunities. Roles offered are Finance Executive, Account Manager, Financial Advisor, and Tax Consultant.
Infrastructure: Our Commerce Department is the largest in the whole university. Free Wi-Fi and computer lab facilities are available. The library is the most beautiful and, in my opinion, the best of all. Classrooms are large and comfortable.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and also hardworking. All teachers take regular classes and are highly qualified, with most of them being CAs. They carefully solve the doubts of each and every student. As a finance student, this course helps a lot in gaining knowledge in the field and makes students suitable for the industry. The semester exam is quite difficult compared to B.Com, but attending classes regularly helps. The passing percentage is moderate, approximately 48%. Faculty members are good and cooperative.
Other: I have done my graduation in core finance, so M.Com is one of the best degrees for me to chose. If someone is interested in finance and wants to learn in a structured way, then this course is surely for him/her. There are also facilities for scholarships, fests, and various extracurricular activities.

Nitish's college satisfaction.
Placements: From 2nd year and 3rd semester, the students can go for internships outside. They may or may not get paid depending on their merit and the company they choose. The college has an exit option after 2nd year, but I want to get the specialization and research degree. Students must score good marks to get jobs. College provides good placement.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good, with well-equipped classrooms and laboratories in all departments. Short campus with cleanliness. I am very satisfied with my college. Canteen facilities are also very good, and overall rating is a very pretty college. It has 3 campuses for different branches, and this is a little hectic.
Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly with students and always available for us. Also, they help in everything. There are more than 300 faculty members in our college due to different courses, and each of them has a very kind and friendly nature. The training and placement facilities help to get placed in various companies.
Other: The campus life is very good, and I want to be a part of this for the rest of my 5-year course.

Life at University of Calcutta.
Placements: Our college does provide opportunities at some reputed companies, as per our seniors' experiences. Although we are in our first year, our seniors have informed us that they have secured jobs at MNCs. The average package starts at 3 LPA, with the maximum package being 7 LPA for freshmen. The percentage of students getting placed for jobs is 25%.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are very clean, and labs are equipped with new instruments, creating a student-friendly environment. The library is very useful due to the variety of books available. I am not familiar with the hostel facilities because my college is in my city, but some of my friends live in the hostel.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and interact with students in a friendly manner. Most professors have decades of teaching experience. The curriculum is very relevant as it includes extra knowledge. Exams are moderately difficult, but if you study hard, you will pass.
Other: Students can avail of of a scholarship of $$24,000.

Proud to study in CU main campus.
Placements: Around 60% of students got placement after M.Com. The highest salary offered was 6 LPA, and the lowest was 1.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies are TCS, HDFC bank, SBI Bank, etc. Around 20% of students got internships after doing this course. The top roles are Accountant, Manager, Professor, assistant, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus is excellent. We had a big classroom where around 200 people could sit. We also had laboratories and a library. Our library is well-equipped with a variety of books. The campus has a well-clean canteen and medical facilities. The food quality in the canteen is excellent.
Faculty: It's better than other colleges under CU. After all, this is our main campus. Regular classes are done here. Strict with attendance. Good in terms of discipline, maintenance and atmosphere. The professor gave a lecture in English so other state students could understand it easily. It was very hard to pass the exam. In privileged years, 23 percent of students had passed the exam.

It is the best college for M.Com in Commerce.
Placements: Placements in our college are one of the best in India. I would recommend everyone to join our college. Reputed companies visit our campus for placements. I think Calcutta University gives special focus on their students. They feel that we are their assets.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is comparatively huge compared to other government colleges in Kolkata. The atmosphere is very good. Labs are air-conditioned. There is also a playground to play for students. Facilities provided by the college are very good. The canteen food is affordable and healthy.
Faculty: Faculty members are the best part of our college, and I would say they are big shot people with a lot of industry experience. They guide us professionally and help us to accomplish our dreams. The teaching procedure is modern. The course curriculum also helps us to survive in the developing industry.
Other: Our college organises a lot of fests and events, which help us to develop.
