Average college in Kolkata.
Placements: The placement cell of our course is active. Very few students got placed in relevant jobs. The average package was around 4-5 LPA. Top roles offered in campus placement were BPOs, and some job offers were relevant to the laboratory. Around 20% of students independently applied for internships, and some achieved that.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course are just okay. The library is good, and a huge collection of books is available. The laboratory is also okay; a few instruments are not working properly. Basic medical facilities are present. Limited sports facilities are available.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable in their respective domains of study. The teaching quality of our faculty members is diverse; some professors are old-style and some are modern. The difficulty of the semester examination is 3 out of 5.
