Teachers are very friendly and helpful. They are ready to help anytime.

Placements: As internships are part of our course, we were taken to NGOs, the High Court, the Park Hotel, and Sundarbans to do our employment skill enhancement internship. Our teachers made that path. We didn't get any stipend offer because it's the course structure. Other than that, AJC Bose doesn't have any courses that can lead to an internship.

Infrastructure: AJC Bose College celebrates every cultural occasion, from Saraswati Puja to Eid. For students, AJC Bose Student Council throws two big parties, which are Holi and Saraswati Puja. The library has all the books needed for the available courses, apart from that, students get expanded digital library support. Free Wi-Fi is available. AJC Bose has an NCC structure for students. Socially, the seniors or super seniors are very friendly and helpful.

Faculty: The exam papers that are set by the college are moderately hard. They set very expected, selective questions, and teachers check answer sheets quite hard. Personally, every faculty from this college is moderately good, so far, there are no strong complaints against AJC Bose. The faculty I like the most is the expanded library, digital library, and upgraded labs. The faculty is quite helpful and approachable.

The environment of the college is very good.

Placements: Students with eligible qualifications are given opportunities to attend various job fairs and campus placements conducted in the college. The opportunity is usually given to students in their final year or semester. Various national as well as international companies offer interesting jobs with exciting salaries. Salaries can range from 10,000 to several lakhs based on the post offered. If students are looking for higher studies after post-graduation, they can opt for Ph.D., M.Phil, B.Ed., etc.

Infrastructure: So many hostels in our hostel up to the 3rd year, all rooms are triple shareable. After the 3rd year, single rooms are present. In-room, one single B.Ed., one desk, chair, light, fan, Wi-Fi, electricity are available. Infrastructure is good for living. The registration process is a little difficult because the University has some conditions like your present address distance being more than 60 km from your college campus. If it is more than that, you can easily submit documents with all ID proof. Then the University publishes a list, and if you are selected, you will be eligible for hostel admission. Meals are good and hygienic. Lunch and dinner are available. If you want to rent a room, then many options are there like PG, mess, flat. Hostel Fee: INR 1652 per year.

Faculty: The course helps in getting a better job, and I can study animal things more effectively. The ratio of faculty to students is like 10:1. There are a lot of teachers, but students are only 90. All faculty are highly qualified, and they have experience of more than 10 years. Their teaching method is average, and some teachers are very bad at teaching. Exams happen very timely, with one internal and one external exam in each semester. The questions are average and not much difficult to pass. Class size: 56 Course fees: INR 18000 per year.

The campus life is very best.

Placements: Since the courses offered by the college are not professional, very few companies come for placements. Mostly, research scholarships are offered to some students who are scientific and good at academics. 3–4% of students get placed. Companies that come for placements are oracle, Infosys, etc. Geo Wild and other such platforms also appear to give students a chance to choose such careers. I am doing an M.Sc. in Zoology currently.

Infrastructure: We have so many hostels in our hostel that, up to the 3rd year, all rooms are triple shareable. After 3rd-year, single rooms are present. In-room: one single bed, one desk, a chair light, a fan, Wi-Fi, and electricity are available. Infrastructure is good for living. The registration process is a little difficult because the university has some conditions, like your present address being more than 60 km from your college campus. If it is more than you can get easily, you submit documents with all I'd proof, and the university will publish a list. If you are selected, you will be eligible for hostel admission. Meals are good, and hygiene is good. Lunch and dinner are available. If you want to rent a room, there are so many options out there, like PG, mess, or flat. Hostel Fee : INR 1652 per year.

Faculty: I chose the course because it was the best college providing an M.Sc. in Zoology in Kolkata. Faculty: The student ratio is 1:4. All the facilities at Maulana Azad College have completed their Ph.D.s, and they conduct smart classes to teach us. Term exams are in the form of semesters, recurring every 6 months. Faculty members clear our doubts nicely, so it is not difficult to pass the exam. Class size:-56 The course costs INR 18000 per year.

Faculty: All faculty of this university are well educated with good presenting abilities that help us to properly understand the concept. Per sem. We attend the examination & overall good One other thing in post graduation course here's 4 semesters & total duration of 2 years. But In Aiph College it is complete 1 year only. Having positive side & negative side both. The positive side is - It saves time for students like 1 year. The negative side is - It create pressure on students which is not a bigger issue, causing a bad effect.

Other: I want to complete my post-graduation with distinction, so I'm looking for a university with a low package. That's why I'm going through it.
