Overall, it is a great university to pursue an MA in geography in India.

Placements: I am a student at Rabindra Bharati University pursuing MA in Geography. I can state that over 80% of our students get placed with monthly salary offers ranging from Rs.30,000 to Rs. 40,000. The average salary offered is about Rs. 28,000 per month. Businesses specialise in rural development commissions, urban planning, and GIS remote sensing regularly visit our campus. Every year, about 25 students land in internships with urban planning departments and GIS remote sensing firms, which significantly improves our research efforts. Physical geography, human geography, cartography, GIS, remote sensing, and environmental studies are just a few of the many topics covered in the geography course. In addition, we research sustainable development, disaster management, and urban and regional planning. Our curriculum strikes a balance between academic understanding and real-world application, guaranteeing that we are ready for it.

Infrastructure: Our department provides GIS software, large computer laboratories, smart classrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Although the canteen cuisine is mediocre and there isn't a designated cafeteria, the hostels are kept up nicely, have high hygiene, and provide wholesome meal alternatives. Sports like football, cricket, athletics, volleyball, badminton, basketball, archery, and handball can be played outside at our first-rate sports facilities. Students can use our multi-gymnasium and participate in indoor sports like gymnastics and carrom. Considering all the things, the infrastructure substantially improves our living and studying environment.

Faculty: I think our professors are very knowledgeable and helpful. A few have earned their PhDs overseas. In the classroom, renowned instructors like Subrata Mondal, Sharat Chandra Misra, and Amar Kumar Chatterjee contribute their knowledge and experience. To get us ready for the industry, the program is relevant and useful. Our tests, which are fair and easy to handle, are conducted every two semesters. The examiners' sympathetic nature and willingness to aid students are evident in the way they construct the question papers, which are not too difficult but rather intended to support our success. The learning experience is genuinely enhanced by this encouraging atmosphere and material that is pertinent to the business.
