Discontinued (Aug 2024)- M.Sc. in Economics - Batch of 2025

5.0

5.0Placements5.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

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.

M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2025

Offered by Bethune College

5.0

5.0Placements5.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

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.

The best college, based on my experience.

Placements: There are a lot of seminars held at the college, giving students an opportunity to shine in the field of Science. Stipends are given as Junior Research Fellowships after cracking the NET/GATE or relevant exams. Since the courses offered by the college are not professional, very few companies come for placements. Mostly, research scholarships are offered to students who are scientific and good at academics. 3-4% of students get placed. Companies that come for placements are Oracle, Infosys, etc.

Infrastructure: The faculty is top-notch, with good laboratories and experienced staff who help you to have hands-on experience in conducting experiments. The libraries have very good reference books with easy access. I took up Zoology because it's obviously an interesting subject, and also because it is a very basic subject from which multiple avenues open. The hostel facility is very good but costly, but it is genuine according to the facilities they provide. There are double shared rooms with AC and mainly a separate bathroom of your own. The hostel has a total capacity of 180 students only.

Faculty: I chose this course because it is the best college providing an M.Sc. in Zoology in Kolkata. The faculty-student ratio is 1:4. All the faculty members in Maulana Azad College have completed their Ph.D. They conduct smart classes to teach us. Term exams are in the form of semesters, recurring after every 6 months. The faculty are very involved in their respective courses. They are extremely dedicated to their coursework. The courses are designed very scientifically to include every aspect of our professional careers.

It is the best college.

Placements: They can enroll in the placement cell, which helps with placements. Some departments get quite good placements from reputed companies. After getting the degree, I plan on sitting for the JAM M.Sc. entrance exams. Also, good for other departments like B.Com and economics, but you usually don't look for placement after graduation in the arts stream. You have to go for a master's, so if you're a commerce or a science student and you're looking for a college with good placement after graduation, St Xavier's College is one of the best colleges in the country, and Kolkata is the best.

Infrastructure: It is an amazing course. It's one of the best curricula that you can get in this college. The faculty members are well trained, and you get an amazing atmosphere in and all the college. The exam is on a semester basis. The college has separate hostels for boys and girls. The hostels are within walking distance of the campus. The selection of the students who are eligible for accommodation in the hostels is made entirely based on merit and need. Food will be divided into two different options, like veg and non-veg. Although Quality is good.

Faculty: St Xavier's College has an extremely diligent and highly accomplished faculty who are thoroughly devoted to the welfare of the students. Proof. Christian Mirza, specializing in Victorian women's poetry and Modern poetry, has also pursued research in literature and music. Faculty is very helpful. College has a semester system of examinations in which two end-semester examinations are held every year, along with two mid-semester examinations and continuous internal assessment. Marks are also allotted in each paper for regular attendance. So it is a good way to study.
