M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2023

Our college is best for doing M.Sc. Botany.

Placements: Our university is not able to provide placements to every student. Less than 36 percent of students got placed from departments like botany, biotech, and zoology. Most of the students are going for higher studies like PhD. Dr Reddy and Biocon are giving placements to some students. The top roles offered are lab technician and research analyst. The highest package is 13 LPA and the lowest is 4.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: We have a beautiful campus area. Our department is equipped with digital instruments. The whole campus is Wi-Fi enabled. All lecture halls have AC and projectors. In our library, more than 6 lakhs books are available. The hostel environment is friendly, every student is cooperative. Food provided in the canteen is too good.

Faculty: All the faculty members are having top notch qualification. I rate our department faculty 5/5. They provide high-quality teaching. All the teachers are friendly and always help students. The course curriculum focuses on modern industry. The curriculum helps students gain knowledge about present industry conditions and how to get a job. The semester is quite tough but around 95 percent of students are passed the exam.

My review of this college.

Placements: Every year, many top job recruiters and companies visit our college for seminars, interviews, and job exams. Our college personally invites recruiters through our placement cell, and our professors make sure that we attend every interview and seminar to get a better idea about what we want to do in our future. If you want to place in a good and best, they have a placement cell where you have to register yourself to get updates about companies. Most of them are IT and management-based companies. The job profile is basically that of a salesperson. Many new companies have approached for placement.

Infrastructure: The girls' hostel is located just at the back side of our college. It is spacious and well-maintained. The rooms are airy and well-lighted. The food is of a very standard type. There is a huge demand for hostel facilities, and it is given on a priority basis. There is a free and fair policy regarding giving hostel facilities.

Faculty: The course is overall quite good. It has lots of practicals to increase practical knowledge. A plenty of things are taught on the projector, which gives us a digital experience. The course also consists of an industrial visit, which gives us a rough idea of how industries work. The teachers are very well-qualified and very cooperative. They are well-experienced and have a minimum M.Sc. qualification. Most of them are Ph.D. qualified. They have a very good knowledge and also make us think out of the box. They are always ready to help. Their teaching helps us to grow personally as well. We have a semester pattern, and the practical exams are held at the end of the year only. In the third year, we had university exams at the end of the year. The practicals are always good, and we felt good after leaving the labs. Exams obviously depend on one's preparations. The laboratory is always clean.

Great place for a master's in economics.

Placements: Quite many companies approach the placement cell. 40 to 50 students out of around 180 get placed on campus. There are some companies that have revoked promised offers. Roles mainly include data analyst and sales. One can secure a 6 LPA package if he/she is sincere throughout the course.

Infrastructure: There is an extensive library with all required books. One can even access central library of main campus, which is huge. Classes are air conditioned, and software is taught in labs. There is a homely feeling, with a homely canteen and a wonderful vibe.

Faculty: Teachers are best in business, with high accolades. They try their best to clear concepts and support you after class. Exams are of standard difficulty, but nothing comes out of the syllabus. It will be 2 years of gaining extensive knowledge about economics.

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.

Overall, it is the best college for the M.Sc. in Botany course.

Placements: About 92% of students are admitted to our college. Many students got jobs in many companies. The highest salary package offered is 29 LPA, and the minimum salary package offered is 9 LPA. Big companies like Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, etc., visit the college for recruitment. Nearly 85% of students received internships. Higher-level roles offered are conservation biologist, horticulturist, etc.

Infrastructure: The campus's antique architecture gives us a sense of antiquity, reminiscent of Royal Kolkata. Classrooms include lofty windows and overhanging fans, similar to those seen in old movies. The college features two libraries stocked with literature on a variety of subjects. All of the science departments have offices, and the institution also provides Wi-Fi. The canteen cuisine is overpriced and delicious for everyone.

Faculty: It is a wonderful joy to announce that I have graduated with the top faculty members. They've always assisted us. Students should prepare for projects. Our teachers are always very helpful in our work. Semester tests are quite standard, and we are determined to test our faith. The pass rate is more than 55%.

Best university for M.Sc. and research with friendly-supportive faculty members.

Placements: I am a science student. So, less than 30% of students get placements every year in a mixture of all departments like biochemistry, biotech, botany, and zoology. But most students are going for higher studies, like a Ph.D. Last year, companies like Dr. Reddy and Biocon mainly focused on recruiting only biotech and botany students. One of my seniors is going for a lab technician and another research analyst role offered during placements. Last year, the highest 12.5 LPA, and the lowest 4.5 LPA packages were offered by companies.

Infrastructure: I am proud to say that my department is one of the most digitally equipped. All the lecture halls of my department are equipped with Wi-Fi, a projector, and AC. The library is top-class with more than 6 lakh books and recent time digital notes or research projects. Labs are well-equipped with modern types of equipment, focused on recent industries. I am not staying in a hostel, but my friend said that it is a good and friendly environment. But the food is good in our canteen.

Faculty: I rate it 5/5 for my department teachers based on their best quality of teaching. Also, they are very friendly and helpful. They are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. The course curriculum is relevant and modern industry-focused, which helps us to better understand the recent industry. Semester exams are mostly difficult, but that helps us to attend regular classes and read carefully. But practical exams are easy and enjoyable. Most of the students pass like 95% of the students.

Other: I am a botany graduate. I can go for biotech or biochemistry, but my interest in botany has been in recent discoveries. Every government is focused on green energy. The best thing is that the course is focused on the industry. I think the course should focus more on recent industries. Our campus union is helpful and organised, too many things at every festival like sports in winter, Holi, etc. Campus connectivity is good with the nearest railway station, metro station, bus stop, and tram connectivity. Campus is crowded during college time with the best greenery surroundings.
