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%.

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.

This university is a good place for students to develop their knowledge and skills.

Placements: As this is a course in English literature, there are no direct placements from our course. Every year, many students from this university pass the UGC NET, which leads to government job placements. We also get jobs at private colleges and universities.

Infrastructure: The university campus is huge. There are a huge number of buildings located for all courses. There are good Wi-Fi facilities, huge classrooms, laboratories, and playgrounds. The university is so close to nature.

Faculty: Teachers in every subject are very helpful and wise. The very first priority of all of them is the student and their learning skills. They teach very carefully and always try to solve our doubts. They are friendly. Almost 90% to 95% of students pass out of this university every year.

Other: Every year, we celebrate Teachers' Day, Saraswati Puja, and many more programs on the university campus. Every year, both students and teachers organise annual sports, functions, and other events.

Overall, to get a unified degree, it is good to study in.

Placements: There are no placement facilities as of now. There is no history of such placement which came into existence. Some of the guest lecturers are appointed. Internships are nil. There is a placement cell but it is not at all effective or useful in any of the placements.

Infrastructure: It is a university for most of the hilly areas such as Darjeeling colleges. The university is well-equipped with all department having a separate building for each subject. The canteen and hostel are all well-structured. All facilities are up to date for students.

Faculty: The faculty members are large and skilled enough to teach students in an effective way. The syllabus is completed on time. Altogether it is useful for acquiring a degree. The teaching qualities are traditional, no innovation as such, boring for the weak students.

Other: Being in a department irrespective of your subject, you will have a mixture of a superb experience.
