Satisfied with the faculty and management of the college.

Placements: For our course, there were not very high placement opportunities available for the students. Very few students get placed at this college. Most of the students prepare for government jobs after this course. The college focuses on providing good education to the students.

Infrastructure: Rabindra Bharati University had good infrastructure for our course. Wi-Fi, labs, library, canteen, hostel, and sports facilities were offered by the college. All these facilities were of good quality. Hostel facilities were also good. Food in the mess was good to eat.

Faculty: The faculty of our college was good. All the professors of our course were well qualified and knowledgeable. They provided good quality education and proper guidance to the students. The course curriculum of RBU was relevant and it made the students industry-ready. Semester exams of the college in our course were not hard to pass.

Just have a visit to the RBU campus. You will definitely fall in love with it.

Placements: It doesn't provide any kind of placement because it's under a government university. Here, students come to do their higher studies as well as achieve their degrees. For this, they don't provide any placement from here.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our university campus and hostels is good enough. The students who want hostel facilities need to apply for the hostel, and then faculty members measure the distance between their home and the university. After that, they publish the names of those who are eligible for the hostels.

Faculty: Faculty members are well maintained by the discipline. They are good. They are always helpful, and the exams are semester-based under CBCS. Faculty members of the Fine Arts and Visual Arts are excellent.

Other: It's a good university for UG and PG courses. Poor but meritorious students can easily go to university. It's a good opportunity for them and also for the good future ahead. They give you an opportunity to get a scholarship on your merits. The university also arranges various extracurricular activities like annual sports, grand fest, departmental freshers', magazine hanging ceremony, and others.

I am satisfied with infrastructure and teachers, although facilities should be more improved.

Placements: The English department in RBU is good with trained faculty members and intelligent students. After finishing the course, students can get a chance to pursue a PhD under expert supervision. A huge amount of students get admitted in this course each year as the institution is well-known.

Infrastructure: It is one of the old universities in Kolkata. Infrastructure is good, and students can get huge guidance from teachers. Classrooms are huge for accommodating a huge number of students. Labs and library facilities are also good. Students can get healthy food in the canteen.

Faculty: RBU University is enriched with some highly qualified and knowledgeable teachers. They are always helpful for students. Students get maximum guidance. The curriculum of language studies doesn't make students industry-ready, but they bring aesthetic development in students.

Other: I have chosen this course because the course makes us know about ancient literature and modern literature. It also increases the cultural value among students. Students are fond of cultural activities like singing, dancing and many other things.
