BA (Hons.) in History - Batch of 2027

Offered by New Alipore College

4.0

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.

B.A. in Psychology - Batch of 2028

Offered by Gokhale Memorial Girls' College

3.6

Good faculty members but not that great infrastructure.

Placements: Since it's mostly a science-based subject, there are not really any placements for this degree after graduation. However, Gokhale has provided a variety of internships since the 2nd year itself. College is really well known, especially for psychology degree.

Infrastructure: Under Calcutta University, it is one of the best colleges that provides a very compact and practical based course on psychology. Gokhale has one of the oldest psychology labs, which contains proper psychological instruments for experimentation. However, it does not provide any hostel facilities as such. But you can find a lot of affordable PGs and flats near the college. There's a proper canteen which contains a variety of food at a cheaper rate, as well as proper medical facilities. Our college also provides opportunities for indoor and outdoor games.

Faculty: One of the best things about Gokhale is definitely the faculty members. They are very qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful as well. Of course, you won't connect equally to all the teachers there, some might be your favourite, whereas others might not be that favourite but it's okay. I am sure this course will teach a lot of things, one of them being how to adjust to every situation in life. It is definitely curriculum-relevant. With psychology being such a fast-growing field in the world, this course does make the students industry-ready. Semester exams are a bit difficult, though.

Other: I opted for this course because when I chose this subject in class 11, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue. Psychology always intrigued me since the very beginning. The best thing about my course is that I can understand why someone is behaving the way they are and what the thinking pattern is behind that. However, when it comes to fests, if I am being honest, there aren't really very great opportunities for fests. But our seniors have always shown great interest, and now we participate in a lot of fests in other colleges (got some medals as well).

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.

This college is good, but teachers should be more available.

Placements: I see many students from our faculty receiving great positions. Many of my friends also get internships and fellowships in famous companies like TCS, Wipro, Myntra, banks, Aditya Birla Group, and even translation and transcription jobs in companies overseas.

Infrastructure: There are 3 libraries in the college for the 3 separate colleges, but everyone can borrow books and study in libraries, so you don't have to worry about buying books. There are plenty of options there. You can also play on the ground, and classrooms are getting renovated, so it's going to get better, I hope.

Faculty: Teachers are pretty helpful and polite. They are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The semester exams are difficult yet easy at the same time. However, the pass percentage in our department is high. The projects are fun to do, and you learn a lot from them.

Other: The best thing about this course is that you learn a lot of things. If you love to read, then it's a win because the syllabus includes many interesting texts. You also learn about the human psyche and the lives and personalities of poets, which is one of the reasons I chose this course. It also enriches your vocabulary.

The auditorium is pretty good and faculty members are also kind of good.

Placements: With the help of this, one can either be a psychologist or a psychiatrist. There are different parts to criminal, abnormal, child psychologist, etc. 60% of the students got placed in the college. There is no such company but there are hospitals where we can work for internships. People who score above 70% have a chance of getting internships.

Infrastructure: Psychology is mostly a lab-based subject. The lab has instruments that help us to work on all the practicals we need for this subject. The instruments are kept properly in charge.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but sometimes it's just difficult to understand. This subject doesn't have enough scope but if you once get into it, you get a good amount of salary. The questions are tricky and sometimes confusing so it is difficult to answer. The pass percentage is 30% to 40%. Teachers explain the practical to every batch and we have to do the practical.

Vidyanagar College review by a B.A. student.

Placements: Approximately more than 90% of students were placed in my course. The highest package offered in my course was Rs.30,000, the lowest was Rs.12,000, and the average was Rs.20,000. Book publishers were the recruiters. Approximately 30% of students got internships from my course. The role was in book publishing.

Infrastructure: High-speed Wi-Fi and a seminar room were available. Labs for all subjects, especially Science, were available. There was a library that had many types of books. If you wanted any book, you could request it from the library staff, and after 1-2 days, you would receive the book.

Faculty: Teachers were very qualified and highly educated. They were very helpful, not only with education but also with regular life. They were very friendly. Exams were not too tough. The passing percentage was over 99%. Very high quality was available in our course.
