    Nani Bhattacharya Smarak Mahavidyalaya has a very good collection, especially for arts students.
    Placements: I am Hasrat Ansari, and an ex-student of Nani Bhattacharya Smarak Mahavidyalaya. In 2022, I started my first year of college with many other students. My course is B.A. In my college, there are no extra fees except for the exam and registration. There, I met the best teachers of art. They are really good and sweet and always help students. In my batch, we have almost 30 percent of students placed from college. The total package is a minimum of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 for the B.A. course.
    Infrastructure: As we are all arts students, we get some facilities like a library and some facilities for other honours, like a lab and a testing room. For sports, we also have a club where we have many assets to play and practice. In our college, we have a canteen in good condition and very clean, and the food items are very healthy and tasty. Our college is very disciplined and clean, and we maintain hygiene.
    Faculty: In our college, we have very good and helpful teachers. They are always helping us, specifically during exam time. The quality of teaching is really good. Our college and teachers make many students' lives and allow them to achieve their goals. Our teachers make many engineers, teachers, sportsmen, computer experts, etc. There is no difficulty in the exam, just because of good teaching and the best understanding between teachers and students.
    Other: If your goal is to be an arts teacher and a sportsman, a computer expert, etc. Then I recommend visiting Nani Bhattacharya Smarak Mahavidyalaya.

    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.

    Affordable education with supportive faculty, needs more practical exposure and events.
    Placements: Around 70?80% students were placed. The highest package offered was ?12 LPA, the lowest ?2.5 LPA, and average around ?4?5 LPA. Top recruiters included TCS, Wipro, Infosys, ICICI, and Capgemini. Around 60?70% got internships from platform like Internshala, BSNL, and EdTech firms. Top roles included software developed, data analyst, sales executive, HR trainee, and many students also prepared for government exams. Overall, placement was good for a government college.
    Infrastructure: Islampur College offers decent infrastructure with Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, a well-stocked library, and basic computer labs for practical sessions. Hostel facilities are limited, however, private hostels are nearby. The canteen serves simple food, medical aid is basic, and students enjoy sports like football and cricket.
    Faculty: Teachers at Islampur College are helpful, qualified, and have good subject knowledge. Teaching quality is decent, with a focus on theory. The curriculum is mostly relevant but lacks strong industry exposure. Semester exams are moderate in difficulty, and the pass percentage is around 80-85% on average.
    Other: I chose this course due to my strong interest in the subject and its career scope. The best part is the supportive faculty and affordable education. However, more practical exposure and industry tie-ups would improve it. The campus crowd is friendly, events are few but enjoyable, and connectivity is good. Scholarships are available, and students participate in cultural and sports activities actively. The surroundings are peaceful, creating a good learning environment.

    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.

    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.
