The best college from my experience.

Infrastructure: The college offered hostel facilities for students who lived far from home. There were limited seats in the hostel, and you got a hostel seat based on merit and the distance from your home. The hostel was a good option for girls at Bharati College, as it was safe and provided good infrastructure facilities.

The college curriculum is not per industry standards.

Infrastructure: The labs are not up to the mark and there is just 1 working computer. The Wi-Fi has been off since the lockdown. The classrooms are good and clean but there are no technical facilities there. The canteens are good but not clean as well. There is a central library in our college but the collection of books was not so good.

Overall best university for M.A. in Sanskrit course.

Infrastructure: It is among Kolkata's top universities. Greenery here calm our spirit and creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxing and listening to music. There is Wi-Fi across the campus. Library is useful, and the music rooms are beautifully furnished. Even though the cuisine and canteen are not great. We have the facilities if we enjoy sports. On BT road, we may locate nearby dining options. The infrastructure is good and continues to become better.

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

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.
