Colleges are good for students.
Placements: In terms of placement, the college stands poorly. Course placement does not happen every year, and if any company comes for placement, they don't offer at least the industry average. Companies like PWC, Deloitte, ITC, and Tata come for placements. The highest package is 3.80 LPA, the lowest is 1.20 LPA, and the average package is 2.40 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good, but not up to the mark. There are Wi-Fi labs, classrooms are large and in good condition, and the library is also good. The hostel is upto the mark, and the canteen's food is below average. No sports arena or gymnasium available.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, cooperative, and knowledgeable. The new curriculum is relevant but does not follow the exact curriculum of the college. The exam's difficulty level is medium, the internal examination is too easy, and the external examination is set by the university, which is moderate.
Other: The college location is good, near a metro station. This is an evening college. Extracurricular activities like the Freshers' Call Syambhab. Debt competition is there. Multiple webinar-related businesses, progress of youth, and financial literacy were organized by our college.

It is a quiet decent college.
Placements: It does not provide placement as it is just a normal graduation course. The internships that the students get are often part of the curriculum, and they are paid for by the students. Mostly, the students studying here are preparing for the civil services.
Infrastructure: It provides labs for practical work. It also provides Wi-Fi. Classrooms are decent. It has both a college and departmental library. The quality of food in the canteen or mess is average, but the price is reasonable. It has medical facilities also. Sports and games are scheduled on the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is decent. The semester exam is not very difficult. The course curriculum is relevant, but it doesn't make the students industry-ready. Mostly, the students prepare for government exams.
Other: I chose it because I have an interest in psychology. The practical aspect of this subject should be better performed by the teachers. Events often happen on the college campus.

BESC is the best, as with the slogan of the college, it's true.
Placements: Placements are average, as only with a B.Com degree can you expect a good offer on the side. But the faculty also provides many internships and real-life experience activities, which help a student to develop new skills and experience for the future and build an impact on others.
Infrastructure: Best infrastructure and hospitality according to a college. The campus size is average, but its environment is superb. There's no hostel in the college, but the nearby PGS are the best option. You can contact me for that, and I have visited too many Pgs.
Faculty: Calcutta University lags much in conducting semester exams. They take too much time. Every year, they start the semester on time. But the 1st semester itself takes 8-9 months for the exams. Hence, all the semesters get disturbed and delayed. There are no internals/Mid-semester in B.Com at this college.
Other: If you want to enjoy your college life in fests and events, it's just superb, and attendance is also not mandatory for B.Com.

The college has supportive and experienced faculty, structured curriculum, good infrastructure.
Placements: For the B.A. Honors in English at Prafulla Chandra College, approximately 50% of students secure placements. The highest package is around 4.2 LPA, with an average of 2.3 LPA. Nearly 45% of students obtain internships. Roles include content writing, teaching, banking, and IT.
Infrastructure: The department has well maintained classrooms. They properly equipped labs, a good library, and Wi-Fi. It supports the smooth learning. The hostel facilities are comfortable and clean, with decent security. The mess and canteen provides a hygienic and satisfactory food with variety of options. Medical facilities are accessible when needed. The campus also has good sports and games facilities. It encourages healthy and active lifestyle.
Faculty: Faculty is supportive and knowledgeable. Some could be more engaging. The curriculum is well structured. It covers core concepts, but needs more practical and updated content. Exam system is organized with moderate difficulty. That fairly tests understanding.
Other: I chose this because it matches my interests and career goals. The best part is strong foundation and skill development it provides. I wish there is more practical exposure, an updated syllabus, and better real-world application.

Good learning atmosphere with impressive infrastructure and supportive environment.
Placements: We have an entrance exam for admission to our colleges under the University of Calcutta. My total package is Rs. 3,21,000, but the new package is Rs. 41,000. Almost all of our students have had internship opportunities at good law firms in Kolkata. Our college organised a farewell ceremony for our passing out batch.
Infrastructure: Academic facilities include solid Wi-Fi across the campus, computer labs, and a moot court hall. Seminar rooms and a few hill spots where students hang out between classes. The campus also has enough green areas to sit and study or just relax, which adds to the atmosphere. Our college provides its own hostel. The hostel rooms are very clean and beautiful. The food is quite good, and hygiene rules are being followed. Our canteen's food is so good. There are different varieties of foods. Our college also provides medical facilities, sports, and games.
Faculty: Our faculty are very helpful, well-qualified and knowledgeable. Most teachers have PhD degrees. Even though each teacher has their own style, almost all of them try to include case law discussions, class debates, or small activities so we don't get bored with only theory. The teacher-student ratio is pretty decent. There are 9 semester exams and one practical exam. To pass the semester, you need to get 30% marks.
Other: I always had an interest in debating, understanding how laws work, and basically figuring out why things in society are the way they are. I chose the integrated B.A. LL.B. Course because I wanted a strong base in social sciences along with the legal subjects, and this programme gives both. I picked Heritage Law College mainly because of its reputation for moots, internships, and a decent faculty lineup. The administration is supportive, whether it's academic support, career guidance, or extracurricular activities. There are seminars, workshops, competitions, cultural programs, and of course, the big annual fest, which is usually the main highlight.

My experience at Heritage Law College.
Placements: The minimum percentage of students who get placed from my course is 90 percent. The package vary. As law students, we can choose different career paths, and the package depends on that. Almost 95 percent of students got internships and later got hired by multiple big companies like Infosys and big law firms all over India. Also, the post-graduation acceptance rate in various prestigious universities is high.
Infrastructure: Different facilities like the library, moot court, and seminar halls are available. We have a well-curated library available for every student. Also well-lit and air-conditioned big classrooms are available, well-equipped with materials needed for high-tech education. The hostels are hygienic and affordable for students, with three meals a day and snacks provided. Also, we have various canteens providing healthy, hygienic, and affordable food around the campus.
Faculty: Our faculty members are highly educated and experienced in their respective fields. They are very helpful and friendly and always available to help us quench our curiosity and solve any problem we might have regarding our academics. The curriculum is very in-depth and well articulated, which helps us in real-life scenarios. Other than semester exams, we also have numerous class tests, viva, and moot courts, which not only prepare us for final exams but also help us in our careers.
Other: The course and exams are well curated, but the only improvement I suggest is more real-life experiences.
