Balance between jobs and studies.
Placements: 80% of students are placed in my college. The highest package is 4 LPA, and the average package is 2 LPA. Almost 90% of students are provided with internships where they master several vital skills for jobs. I would say that it is really worth the money we pay.
Infrastructure: We have a canteen, air-conditioned classrooms, hostels for both female and male students, Wi-Fi, labs, and a playground. Everything is neat and clean. Discipline is always well maintained. The college has a heritage touch to it, and it is government-funded.
Faculty: Teachers are extremely helpful. The curriculum followed is quite relevant to modern-day learning. The exams are a little more difficult than the rest to maintain parity with real-life scenarios. Every student is well-groomed for jobs and higher roles.
Other: We have various fests at our college, and they are filled with events. We also have a great alumni network.

I am fully satisfied. I would recommend to join my college, you would not be disappointed.
Placements: The total percentage of students was around 70 percent. The highest package offered was around 7 to 10 LPA, and the lowest was 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies were ITC, Sun Pharma, Tata, and FMCG companies. Around 10 percent got internships. Roles offered were like Head of Accounts and account executive. Actually, it totally depended on you and how you scored your marks.
Infrastructure: The classrooms were pretty clean with Wi-Fi facilities. I actually didn't stay in any hostel, and it didn't have one either. What was special was that the cricket team of this college was the best team in our university in our town. So if you were good at playing cricket, you didn't need any other college to join.
Faculty: Teachers were really helpful throughout the course, and they were qualified teachers as well. We were CV-ready. The 1st and 2nd semesters were not very hard, but after that, you had to work hard to get marks. You needed to work hard to score better and better to get a job.
Other: I love accounts, so I chose this course. The syllabus needed some corrections. Events, fests, and moreover, the happening crowd were really good. The cricket team was the best team in the town among the colleges.

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.

Scottish Church College - My Experience at one of the best colleges in Kolkata.
Placements: Placements of BBA and B.Com vary from salary packages of 2.5-3 LPA. Top 10% of students get placements with 3-4 LPA. The remaining students are offered salary packages between 1.5-3LPA. In the previous year, 2 students got placed with a salary package of 6 LPA with placements in a political consultation company, which was the highest. Most of the Science students don't opt for placements. They go for higher studies.
Infrastructure: The Science department laboratory is very good. The equipment is a bit old but they are maintained regularly. The infrastructure of the college is very good. It is a good college, and the buildings are well maintained. There are 3 hostels, one for girls, one for Boys, and one especially for the Christian students. The hostels are old but they are well-maintained. Each hostel has one faculty member assigned as hostel superintendent to supervise students.
Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified. Their teaching style is excellent, and they are very friendly. The university mainly decides the Exam and curriculum till this year, but it has become autonomous, now it will be decided by the college. As a student pov the exam schedule is bit disturbed, but the syllabus and curriculum are great, especially the Science subjects syllabus is well aligned for further examinations (eg., IIT JAM, CUET-PG, JEST TIFR, and other competition exams).

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.
