Really good infrastructure and helpful facilities.
Placements: Heritage Law College does not provide any placement opportunities, unlike other private colleges, but it does provide students with internships, moot court competitions and also many competitions in other colleges to develop skills. Also, it follows the CU curriculum, where there are no placement facilities.
Infrastructure: The law department is super good with good classrooms and enough space for students. The library is huge and has different options for law books and other non-law subjects, too. Our department also has common rooms for girls and boys to spend their free time and play different games. We also have a badminton court where students enjoy playing badminton. The hostels are also super nice, which provide students with good food and other facilities too. The mess is really nice, and they serve a variety of food on similar days.
Faculty: The faculty is really helpful and supportive, and they literally help the students whenever and wherever they need. The course makes the student ready for the outer world problems, too. There are 2 semesters per year, which means there are a total of 10 semesters for 5 years. The exam makes the students ready for an internship and also develops their knowledge in every subject. The passing mark is 30 out of 100, and the student's general score is good in internal and external exams. In case the faculty provides students with subject and chapter-wise notes.
Other: I chose this course just to take part in our justice system and understand the problems of today's world, and understand how justice is served to the needy. There should be placement opportunities that will help students to study hard and also get placed after a 5-year course. There are lots and lots of events in heritage colleges, and also the students get to take part in those events and have fun too.

M.A. in English - Batch of 2027
Offered by Behala College

3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money
It's good, maybe, but not worthy enough.
Placements: 40 students got placed to do the course. The highest CGPA is 6.9 and the lowest is 4.5. By now, I have only heard SBI offer jobs, and others are anonymous, I guess. They focus on attendance percentage rather than what you gain via knowledge, so it's not all placement-friendly, no matter how good a student you are, if you have 74 percent attendance, it has to be 75.
Infrastructure: The library is cozy but not very large. Specifically, the English department got minimal to no books regarding the course. There is no hostel system. The canteen and food are good. There is a huge basketball court, with a pond beside the PG building, which is a bit nasty though.
Faculty: Some professors are really good. The atmosphere is absolutely non-political. They say they won't follow CU and would take exams on the basis of 6 6-month gap. We are going to have our first sem in January, and the session started in September.
Other: I would just say if you are trying to do a job after graduation, and as a degree you wanna pursue a Master's. Please don't, they don't understand that students are in need of money too. They like students to sit with a single professor for two straight hours, often four.

Review of Physics B.Sc. course in S. A. Jaipuria College, Kolkata.
Placements: I was in the Physics B.Sc. course. There were no direct placements for my branch, but several companies like TCS had placements for entry-level jobs. Many from other courses did get it by clearing a written test and then interview. My course was not placement-focused, it was only to gain knowledge to help in higher studies. The college didn’t have any technical courses to speak of that promise placements. All B.Sc. courses were designed to make the student ready for Master’s and Doctorate.
Infrastructure: Overall infrastructure was at par with other semi-Gov colleges. Physics Laboratory was well-equipped with various machines, and recently new equipment was bought for Solid State Physics and Quantum Physics experiments. Both digital and analog equipment were present. Canteen was good and clean with a few seats. Wide variety of food at affordable rates suitable for a college student. Wi-Fi was available but only for its namesake, connection was too weak to work with. No hostel. Sports and games room present, including gym. Gym was not well-equipped, only a single multi-press machine with various small equipment.
Faculty: Several teachers were well-versed with their specializations and taught well, though not all, the teaching quality was good for several teachers but again not for everyone. The course curriculum is relevant for those who want to study Physics, computational Physics, and gain relevant skills. While no graduate course will make a student fully industry-ready, my course is effective at what it aims to teach. Semester exams were conducted by Calcutta University, with a passing percentage of 35 percent.
Other: I chose this course because there were a few very good faculty members. Events and fests were not common in my college, as is the case with small colleges in and around Kolkata.
