About our college, Sivanath Sastri.

It provides good infrastructure and a peaceful environment.

Placements: The roles offered in this course are HR and PR. Students in our course have to find internships on their own. The college does not provide direct placements, but it helps students by guiding them in the right direction to get good opportunities. I am still a student in the Communicative English department, so I do not have enough information about average packages or top recruiting companies.

Infrastructure: We have full Wi-Fi in our college. The science department has well-equipped labs with essential equipment. Classrooms are comfortable with projectors. Lecture theatres are air-conditioned. The library is large and has a wide variety of books available. The quality of food in the canteen is very good. It is both healthy and budget-friendly.

Faculty: Teachers are very good, helpful, and friendly. They make us feel at home and are highly qualified. The semester exams are not too difficult. They are of a moderate level, depending on preparation.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to gain practical knowledge rather than only bookish knowledge. Our HOD is very supportive. The college encourages students to participate in different co-curricular activities. It helps build confidence and skills. College also organizes various events. The annual sports event is the main attraction.

My review of New Alipore College.

Placements: Our college doesn't give any placements. I study at New Alipore College, affiliated with Calcutta University. You have to work hard to get a good placement. I suggest that if you want placement, then go for the better options. That will help you. Especially in this competitive era, you have to work hard.

Infrastructure: New Alipore College in Kolkata provides a good infrastructure for its B.A course, and offers hostel facilities for female students. The college is affiliated with Calcutta University. The college provides well-maintained facilities that support the B.A. Curriculum. The campus has spacious classrooms, with some equipped with modern technology like smart screens and projectors. There are also well-equipped computer labs with advanced IT infrastructure.

Faculty: Curriculum focuses on imparting disciplinary knowledge, promoting critical thinking, and developing communication and digital literacy skills. Courses cover subjects. Examination system at New Alipore includes both internal assessment and end-semester examinations in accordance with the university guidelines.

I am satisfied with everything at the college.

Placements: There are no placements for honours students. There is an availability of a summer internship program from different high-rated companies, which is an enjoyable and fun program. Every summer, we can also choose the company with which we need to complete our internship program.

Infrastructure: There are no facilities for a hostel. Food is average to very good. We have an auditorium, Wi-Fi, labs, library, etc. Everything is so clean and under CCTV surveillance. We have sports departments. Medical facilities are also excellent.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They really focus on students' intelligence and in-depth knowledge of every topic. The course curriculum is relevant, and it really makes students industry-ready. Basically, semester exams are difficult for those who do not study. 80% of students passed in my batch.

Other: I like English from class 7, and it was my dream to go for English honours, so I chose it. The best thing about this course is that we get to know the language background, and we get to read different types of poems and prose, which are interesting. My course is all good. Everything is good. I'm satisfied with everything.

It is famous but should do better.

Placements: There is no chance of recruitment from the college. So we need to opt for a master's course in order to get a job. The college offers absolutely no chance of placements. I suggest students do not keep high hopes. We have to do a master's or look for job opportunities on our own.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are not that good. Labs are not in a good state. The library does not have a lot of books. The college has absolutely no campus which is why students have to go outside for everything. Classrooms mostly have no AC and even if they do, students are not allowed to use them.

Faculty: Some professors are really nice but most of them are not that good. Semester exams are usually very hard. But the professors of the English department are very helpful. The teaching quality needs to be improved. We barely get any help from college. Some professors rarely take classes.

Highly recommend for Education Major. Internship opportunities are catered to every student.

Placements: Students got placement opportunities in Infosys and other tech companies. By different seminars and workshops, Students build connections with more people and get guided by professionals. Students doing Education honors got the internship opportunities to work as a teacher in different schools. Other department students also get internship opportunities in their respective fields.

Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi in our college, ensuring smooth application of smart classroom features. It's free for use of students as well. Library has all the necessary reference books and journals for all the departments. And library staff is friendly and easy-going as well. Infrastructure is average, there are air-conditioners in some rooms. We get to participate in different types of sports activities throughout the year, especially during sports and cultural competitions which is held before the annual gift distribution day.

Faculty: All the teachers are either pursuing or already done PhDs in their respective subjects. They are highly knowledgeable in their expertise and deeply into research work, this is what makes learning more enthusiastic. Our college is affiliated by University of Calcutta so, all the curriculum, exams, papers setting are decided and managed by the University. Honors/Major courses have a bit tough syllabus and difficult exams, but it is totally understandable. Most students easily pass the exams.

Other: I chose the Education Major course because I am passionate about teaching, observing people and children, and want to serve in the field of education. This subject excites me so much. They also included the internship and research work/dissertation, making it more experience-centred and practical. If I have to give suggestions to improve something about my course, I'd say that publishing departmental journals would be an exciting thing to do, and we will get to learn a lot from it.
