B.Sc. in Computer Science - Batch of 2028
Offered by Vivekananda College, Kolkata

It's overall a good college, but CU just makes exams miserable.
Placements: 20 percent of students got placed. The highest package is 78 LPA, one of them got into Nvidia, and mostly TCS. All of us have gotten a dummy internship, as it is mandatory. We don't know what company we will get placed in or what roles, but it's mostly R&D. The lowest package is just 3 LPA, and the rest is kind of vague.
Infrastructure: The facilities are good. Wi-Fi is good. The labs are equipped. There is a big campus, a games room, and a gym. The classrooms are clean, bathrooms are fairly clean, the ground is very big, and it has a pretty good sports team, not a bad variety in sports, and the hostel is available, although it is mediocre.
Faculty: The teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and very healthy but they don't get much time to teach us as CU always keeps them busy with official work, examination duty, copy checking, and practical exam duty. The curriculum is very relevant but you won't get time to study. Faculty is good and supportive.
Other: Fests are conducted at peak.

You can take admission here if you want.
Placements: I didn't get any internship because there were no internships in my course in my graduate year. The teachers themselves suggested job placement in the WhatsApp group that we had. Roles offered were accountant, assistant, etc.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities were very big and nice. The classrooms were very big and spacious. I like the playground it was so open. The IT labs were good. What I like the most was their game room where we could play carrom and other games too.
Faculty: The teachers were qualified. The principal was good and the staff was very helpful and kind. The toughest semester, according to me, was the fifth semester, it was very tough but I managed to get through it. I had completed my graduation with no back paper in my three years of graduation, by the way.
Other: Every event on campus was good, even if it was a fresher party or any religious function like Holi or Saraswati Puja. What I liked the most was the concerts every year for the students.

Great and peaceful campus with a great learning experience.
Placements: There was no placement facility available. Moreover, this college was a general degree college. Some departments provided good connections. Many events, meetings, and programs were arranged by the college authorities. It was affiliated with the prestigious University of Calcutta. It was a plus point.
Infrastructure: This college had enough space, good infrastructure, and a pleasant environment. There were enough classrooms to conduct all kinds of batches. Many science department labs had enough facilities to provide a great experience, at least at the graduation level. However, hostel facilities were not available.
Faculty: Professors were well-learned. Some of them were really brilliant and provided a great learning experience. But some teachers were not interested in teaching and were busy with their personal lives. Students could experience bias in some cases.
Other: There was no ragging or bad treatment from seniors. Overall, the college life was calm and composed. The campus was very pleasing, with a small ground and a beautiful garden. Compared to other nearby colleges, this college campus was much bigger. Overall, the college experience was calm and composed.

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.
