Satisfied with the faculty members.
Placements: The University of Calcutta has many placement contacts, but placements are a bit low for botany students, and many students don’t expect placements. The college offers placement opportunities to nearly all its students through a dedicated Placement and Training Cell. This cell provides comprehensive resources, including information on placement offers, preparation trips, and career guidance. The placement process is open to all students, and selections are based on interview performance, which evaluates their skills and suitability for roles. The cell also organizes workshops, mock interviews, and training sessions to enhance students' interview skills and job prospects.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facilities are available for students in hostels as well as on campus. The college provides libraries stocked with books, which can be issued using ID cards. The college has three hostels for students: two for boys and one for girls. Boys have their own single rooms in both hostels, while girls share rooms. Meals are provided twice a day in the boys' hostels and four times a day in the girls' hostel. The registration process for hostels is based on the distance of the student's home from the college, with priority given to those living further away. Hostel fees are affordable and can be paid in two installments every five months. Labs are clean and have all the equipment needed for botany.
Faculty: The course curriculum prepares us for industry roles and research. Each class typically accommodates 80-90 students, ensuring a manageable faculty-to-student ratio that allows for effective learning. The teachers are highly skilled and excel at providing clear and comprehensive instruction. Their teaching methods are well-received by students, who find their approach both engaging and supportive. Professors at the college are approachable and encourage open communication. Students feel comfortable interacting with them, whether it’s during class discussions or individual consultations. The faculty is dedicated to helping students understand the material, providing thorough explanations, and addressing any questions or concerns.
Other: I chose this course because I am interested in botany.

Satisfied with the faculty and sports staff.
Placements: The average placement cell was mainly organized by the students themselves. Around 30-40% of students got placements there. The highest package was up to 14 LPA, with an average of 4 LPA. Companies like Mantra, Roadsters, Jio, and Amazon recruited from here, but no internships were provided by the college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was good and average for me. Many important facilities for students were available, such as Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, a big library, a seminar hall for functions and fests, a large ground, and courts. Outside hostel facilities were also available. The canteen food was awesome and hygienic.
Faculty: My course curriculum was not very relevant because of poor management in classes. Classes mainly stuck to the textbook, which did not make students industry-ready. However, many teachers were helpful and gentle towards students, and their guidance helped students a lot.

Best university for M.Sc. and research with friendly-supportive faculty members.
Placements: I am a science student. So, less than 30% of students get placements every year in a mixture of all departments like biochemistry, biotech, botany, and zoology. But most students are going for higher studies, like a Ph.D. Last year, companies like Dr. Reddy and Biocon mainly focused on recruiting only biotech and botany students. One of my seniors is going for a lab technician and another research analyst role offered during placements. Last year, the highest 12.5 LPA, and the lowest 4.5 LPA packages were offered by companies.
Infrastructure: I am proud to say that my department is one of the most digitally equipped. All the lecture halls of my department are equipped with Wi-Fi, a projector, and AC. The library is top-class with more than 6 lakh books and recent time digital notes or research projects. Labs are well-equipped with modern types of equipment, focused on recent industries. I am not staying in a hostel, but my friend said that it is a good and friendly environment. But the food is good in our canteen.
Faculty: I rate it 5/5 for my department teachers based on their best quality of teaching. Also, they are very friendly and helpful. They are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. The course curriculum is relevant and modern industry-focused, which helps us to better understand the recent industry. Semester exams are mostly difficult, but that helps us to attend regular classes and read carefully. But practical exams are easy and enjoyable. Most of the students pass like 95% of the students.
Other: I am a botany graduate. I can go for biotech or biochemistry, but my interest in botany has been in recent discoveries. Every government is focused on green energy. The best thing is that the course is focused on the industry. I think the course should focus more on recent industries. Our campus union is helpful and organised, too many things at every festival like sports in winter, Holi, etc. Campus connectivity is good with the nearest railway station, metro station, bus stop, and tram connectivity. Campus is crowded during college time with the best greenery surroundings.
