One of the best overall colleges in the mountains.

Placements: The general number of individual placements is high, but the college does not provide direct placement facilities. Although students have a good chance of being selected by multiple companies, the college itself is not directly involved in organizing placements.

Infrastructure: There is a lack of lab infrastructure in the Geography department. Although it is one of the best departments in the college. Other science-related departments have better labs and infrastructure. The hostel facilities for girls are better since there are no hostels for boys. But the girls' hostels are better and provide decent food and structure.

Faculty: The teaching quality is very good. Professors are helpful as well as well-qualified in their respective departments. The college does make students industry-ready by encouraging the teaching of extra subjects that prepare students to face the real world. Exams depend on the student. If a student attends classes regularly and is attentive in lectures, he or she will pass easily.

Other: I chose geography because it is one of the best subjects to study at this college. The geography department here is one of the best in North Bengal.

Siliguri College is one of the best colleges in Siliguri/North Bengal.

Placements: In the course of B.A. English, approximately 60% students in my course got placed. The highest package was offered in my course. Approximately 80% students got internships from my course in many companies. Top roles are branch manager, HR, and english teacher in school. Top recruiting companies are Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available, and classrooms are very clean with comfortable benches. The library is full of many books. The quality of the facilities in my hostel is very good. The canteen is very clean and neat. Medical facilities are also available. Sports and games are available.

Faculty: Teachers are friendly and trained. They are intelligent and have sharp minds. That course prepares the students. The semester exams are not difficult if you attend all the lectures, and then the exams will be easy for you. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose the course because I love English, that’s why. If your marks are approximately 60%, then you get the Swami Vivekananda scholarship.

Mostly yes, I am satisfied.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in my course is average. The highest package is offered in B.Com and B.Sc., while the lowest and average packages are in the B.A. course. Many students got internships in the Air Force and Army because of the NCC course.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are okay, average. The infrastructure is well developed. The library is well organised and good. Canteen food is well and tasty, and provides every kind of dish. Sports and games are played often, and students are offered to participate in state-level games. Technical and lab facilities are offered.

Faculty: The teachers are quite helpful. I won't say all, because each person is different, some may be rude and arrogant, but most of them are helpful, well spoken, and seem well-educated too. The provided courses are helpful in building students' futures. The semester exams are quite tough, as they come from the NBU.

Other: I chose a Bachelor's degree in the Arts stream. The best thing about this course is that it helps cover every subject, connects all streams, and gives knowledge about all streams and other subjects that are not from the arts. Events are quite common here. The crowd is very high, and the campus area is great. Scholarships are given seasonally.

Memorable days in college.

Placements: No placements are offered in this college. But the quality of education is good in this college. But the placements are not there in this college. Except the placements, it's overall a good college to join where you can explore many things around.

Infrastructure: Good infrastructure like smart room or smart class you can say. Central library is there in our college. Labs for chemistry depth students and many instruments like dumpy level theodolite are there. There is only girls hostel just behind the college very near like 10 meters distance backside.

Faculty: Brilliant professors and faculty members in our college where you won't regret studying. Every 6 months, the exams are held for semester exams. The head of the exams is the NBU North Bengal University which is located in Siliguri. Some practical exams are also there at NBU. The professors are brilliant and talented.

Other: I chose to explore the chill and the quality of chill education which I really loved in my 3 years of college life. There are some events and competitions like volleyball matches, cricket matches, and parade competitions on 15th August, where the rivalry begins with other colleges around.

Review of Sukanta Mahavidyalaya.

Placements: Honesty speaking, our institute is not very strong till now in the field of placements of the students, but surely I hope it will soon make itself strong in this field of placements and also in the internships. But students do internships in many places.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our Sukanta College was good. All resources were well managed and utilised by everyone. Wi-Fi was available for students within the range of campus. Laboratories were good and classrooms were maintained well. It also provided a well-stocked library. The hostel facility was available. 2 Girls hostel and 1 boys hostel are here. The food quality is good.

Faculty: Teachers in our college were very helpful, well qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was excellent. Our course curriculum was relevant but needs some upgrades in the subject. It did not make students industry-ready. Semester exams were medium and anyone could pass with everyday preparation. The passing percentage was 78%.
