B.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2026

The best memory and place, less area but good environment, great student-faculty relations.

Placements: Placements depend on selected fields and require higher studies. Since FYUG programmes, the number of placements has increased. They provide hands-on experience within the campus itself. They open doors to many options and help us build and develop ourselves.

Infrastructure: Free Wi-Fi campus and lots of area for recreational and educational purposes. One of the most student-friendly campuses. Classrooms and library run systematically. Only a women's hostel is available with necessary amenities. Homely food with not many options from outside as well. The students' union and sports committee are so advanced and good.

Faculty: The faculty members, including the head of the department, are very considerate with their keen experience in the field. Zoology covers almost everything from basic knowledge to great infrastructure. There is a lab and museum for research purposes and studies. With the help of tutors and interest, an average student can easily pass out.

You enjoy it if you have the same vibe and cool friend circles otherwise, not.

Placements: Sree Narayana College is affiliated with the University of Kerala. Personal college experience is average in everything academics, sports, and arts. Academics are okay-okay. No enjoyment. There are a lot of societal rules and norms.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay. There is a lot of water leakage in the hostel and no proper infrastructure. Almost all rooms are empty because no one wants a degree at all. The front of the hostel is filled with grass and students complain that they grow snakes in the hostel, maybe it is fun.

Faculty: The curriculum is average because according to my college all faculty members are well educated, but no one knows how to teach properly or how to share ideas towards students. Basically they know but can't. Exam timings are so confusing because of the University of Kerala. Teachers have a special power to interfere in students' personal lives.

Review of Christ College, Irinjalakuda.

Placements: About 10 students pass the placement test and interviews, but only 3 of them get placed at TCS in Bangalore. The main role offered is Assistant in Data Handling. Students cannot apply for placements if they have pending supplementary exams, as it affects the placement process. Companies like TATA, SBI, HDFC, etc., recruit students.

Infrastructure: The college has the best infrastructure and facilities. Wi-Fi is available in every building on the campus. The hostel provides good-quality food and drinks. There is one store and one separate canteen. Boys' hostel is inside the college campus, and different food options are available every day.

Faculty: All teachers who teach me are well-educated, professional, and friendly. The difficulty of exams varies for each student. The syllabus for the course is provided at the beginning of the classes, so students do not have to worry about the exam topics.

Other: I am a student of the 2023–2026 batch in B.A. Functional English.

Satisfied with the college.

Placements: 100% of students get placed in this course. Most of them move on to further studies, such as pursuing postgraduate studies. The internship has to be completed at the same college. After the internship, students can either practice MBBS as general practitioners or take postgraduation after writing NEET PG.

Infrastructure: The campus is very huge with lots of trees and greenery around. There are three hostels, two of which are new. Wi-Fi is available in all hostels. There are study halls in all of them. A library is available inside the academic complex. The college infrastructure is old but good.

Faculty: The overall academic calendar is very hectic. The strictness of faculty depends on the department. There are almost no holidays, especially if you are planning to go home. Semester exams are difficult mainly in the first year, and then get easier. The pass percentage is around 90% and above.

Review of Government Arts and Science College, Calicut.

Placements: There are no placements done through the government Arts and Science College, Meenchanda. There are many opportunities after the completion of the Master of Commerce (M.Com). Our college conducted workshops as well as stock exchange related classes for nearly two days.

Absolutely satisfied with college life.

Placements: 50%-60% approximately gpt placed. 1.2 LPA was the package offered. Top recruiters were Accenta Education and My Tuition App. 90%-80% of students who attended the interview with Accenta Education got placed. 10 to 12 students from my class attended the interview, and 7 students got placed after the interview. Communicative English trainer and Tutor were the roles offered.

Infrastructure: We had a library, classrooms, Wi-Fi, and a computer lab for preparing projects. Quality of food available in the canteen was clean. Good medical facilities were also available. Sports were a very essential part of our college, and it won multiple trophies and awards every year.

Faculty: Teachers were helpful. The teaching quality was good, and they provided PDFs, did PPT presentations, and cleared doubts. The course curriculum was relevant and made the students industry-ready. Exams were quite easy unless you reached the criticism and theory parts. There, you have to study thoroughly.

Other: I chose the course B.A. English, as I was good at English, and wanted to pursue LL.B. afterwards. A few more fans and lights should be added inside the classrooms. Also, lunch should be provided in the mess. I hope it's incorporated now. Our college conducted a lot of cultural programs in which students got multiple opportunities to showcase their talents.
