It's the best college for this course.

It's morning college, so if you don't mind walking up and going to a class at 6:15 AM.

Faculty: The exam is conducted by the university, not the college. You have to go to another college to take exams. If you have heard about Calcutta University, you would know how the exams are. The curriculum is very theory-based and barely practical. It is doable.

Average experience in college.

Faculty: Teachers are good at teaching, but placements are not available. Students have to find their internships themselves. It's a better college than other journalism colleges in Kolkata. Our college comes under University of Calcutta.

Everything is good I am very proud to study in this college.

Faculty: Teachers are so efficient and best in their subject. The semester is not difficult at all, but there is a viva (moral) process that I didn't like personally. The teachers are so helpful to all the students. They are very much qualified. Also, the pass percentage is much higher than the failed ones.

It is good for a graduate degree. Improvement in theory classes and placements is needed.

Faculty: The teachers are knowledgeable and supportive, and they do their job well in teaching. The course curriculum is quite regular and covers the necessary subjects, but it is not fully updated to make students industry-ready. Exams are conducted on time and are of moderate difficult level, so most students are able to pass if they study properly. Overall, the faculty is good, but the curriculum needs more update to match current industry requirements.

Good college for Microbiology.

Faculty: Teachers' behavior is good but needs more efficiency in teaching methods by providing proper notes. The course curriculum can be said to be relevant. Students get knowledge about theoretical concepts more than gaining knowledge in practical concepts, so it would be a little bit of a struggle to become industry-ready.

Vivekananda College review for B.Com (Hons).

Faculty: Teachers in B.Com (Hons) CBCS are helpful but the way of teaching differs from one to another. The syllabus is wide but not very practical. Exams happen on time, though most papers test memory more than real understanding, so it does not feel fully useful for future jobs.
