The university with the best infrastructure.

Placements: Almost 60-70% of students got placements from our college. In our subject, there are many types of jobs like professor, lecturer, data analyst, and many more. Different companies from foreign and various parts of India came to our college for hiring. The average salary package is around 4 LPA - 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: On campus, there is free Wi-Fi for all. All classrooms have digital equipment. Hostel food is amazing. There is a canteen also. Affordable food items are available for students. There is a huge playground for sports like cricket, football, and other outdoor games.

Faculty: Our department professors are very helpful to us. They always try to make us comfortable. Semester exams are pretty much hard because we have to prove ourselves. If you study well, this won't bother you. Our pass percentage is 100%. Other departments have a passing percentage of 80-90%.

Other: I like education.

Review of University of North Bengal.

Placements: Honestly 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 get Ph.D. degrees from here.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our university 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 5 girls hostels and 2 boys hostels are here. The food quality is good. Hostel admission charges are nominal.

Faculty: Teachers in our university were very helpful, well qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was excellent. Our course curriculum was relevant but needs some upgrades in the subject of education. It did not make students industry-ready. Semester exams were medium and anyone could pass with everyday preparation. The passing percentage was 95%.

Our college has a great infrastructure apart from being a Wi-Fi-enabled campus.

Placements: Placements are provided mostly in local companies, but they are merit and skill-oriented. Students mostly join this college for their graduation, but their basics will be developed very well. The placement cell invites mostly national companies, banks, firms, and people from the companies.

Infrastructure: Our college has a great infrastructure. Apart from being a Wi-Fi-enabled campus, our college promotes less use of mobile phones inside the campus. Our college also has separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian serving canteens. Sports and games are given priority here. Apart from the spacious classrooms, the students retreat and socialize in the canteens, fields, basketball court, and common rooms. Other amenities available here include Wi-Fi-enabled libraries and an AV hall, which helps to organise events and conferences.

Faculty: Our department has a group of qualified faculty members who teach with a holistic approach to the subject. Students of our college have scored amongst the top tier colleges of the university and achieved success in both online and offline modes. Excellent technical support and advanced learning management system followed here make online learning efficient and effective.

The college life is great during the time in this college with lots of events.

Placements: The courses offered in this college are really great and the education is brilliant but the only thing lagging is the placements as our college does not really offer placements. Although the education provided is really good and the teachers are really great.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our course is great as it provides labs libraries with computers and Wi Fi and classrooms with smart TVs and projectors. Although the college doesn't provide a hostel for the boys and only for girls and as a guy I don't have much idea about the girls' hostel.

Faculty: The teachers in Salesian College Suliguri are really great, who act as friends and are helpful all the time. The course curriculums are up to the mark and are updated every year. The semester exams are not so difficult, but the exams may occur regularly.
