A: 

Q:   I want to know about the latest cutoff information for B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics at Visva Bharati University.
A: 
Hello Candidate, Usually the cut off lies above 85% for general candidates, will land you into a fair chamce to join into your bachelors. But since 2020, due to covid scenerio, there has been a lot of students who scored high percentage of marks. So , in my opinion, the cut off might rise. Cut off also depends upon the number of seats available for a particular subject. So it may vary w.r.t. that also. Conclusion : According to me, it could be around 90% for subjects withs less number of seats. And it may be around 85% for subjects with comparatively higher seats. Good luck.

A: 

While direct admission to Visva Bharati University for UG, PG, Certificate, and Diploma courses is possible, it's primarily based on CUET scores.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with this university.
Placements: 18% of students get placed in my course. The highest package is 3 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. The average package is 1.5 LPA in my course. The top recruiting companies of my course are the State Bank of India, non-government organisation, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my course are free Wi-Fi, a library, and classrooms. The quality and the facilities of my hostel are below average. The quality of food available in the mess is not very good for health. The university has Person Memorial Hospital.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of teachers is good. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not make students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult because the professor does not complete the syllabus on time.
Other: I chose this course because in the future it helps me to get a social work. The best thing about my course is international economics.

I am absolutely satisfied with its academic curriculum and cultural aspects.
Placements: Honestly, there are no placement offers for history students at the undergraduate level. But in other departments like Economics and Languages, there are placement chances with fair packages. As far as I know about my course, which is History Honors, there's no official campus placement. Obviously, students can go out and search for internships and jobs, but at the college level, there are no provisions for placement in the History department.
Infrastructure: The classrooms at Viva Bharati University are properly air-conditioned, with good lighting and sound facilities. Classroom infrastructure and basic furniture are good. There are numerous libraries in this university, but our central library is of top-notch quality. There are a huge number of books and other facilities such as an air-conditioned reading room and a journal section with fast-speed free Wi-Fi. Viva Bharati University provides hostel facilities to both boys and girls, and there are numerous hostels on our campus, but to be very honest, boys' hostels are okay.
Faculty: The professors at Viva Bharati University are very humble and learned. We call them Dadra (elder brother for male professors) and Didi (elder sister for female faculty members). Obviously, they are good at teaching, and of course, very humble, welcoming, and generous in other aspects. Our courses are relevant for further studies/academia, especially if someone is preparing for NET JRF or other teaching exams, or even All India Service exams. I never found my semester exams difficult. Viva Bharati professors are good at making questions (conceptual). Anyone who has kept their eyes open can solve their questions with no struggle, marking is strict.
Other: I'm currently pursuing my B.A. History (Hons.) and this is my last year (CBCS pattern). There are 2 things best about this course, 1st is the syllabus design and 2nd the professors. The history department lacks faculty strength (in numbers). Viva Bharati should recruit a professor. There are several cultural fests and melas organized on our campus that have a blend of local culture and global reach. (Posh Mela and others).

Glimpses of Viva Bharati Bolpur Shantiniketan.
Placements: Placement at Viva Bharati is not so much developed. In the Department of Geography, Vidya Bhavan, placement does not take place as it is a B.A. course, so there is no placement for geography students. Somehow in other departments like Vinay Bhavan, which is the sports and education department, placement happens with the least package.
Infrastructure: In the Department of Geography, the facilities of Wi-Fi and labs are very much good and well developed. The classrooms are well furnished and air-conditioned. The library and the overall institute are good, and the library is very much better. In the department, there is a seminar hall, and the ex-building is our own Padma Bhavan, which also includes the Department of Geography, Department of History, Department of Ancient History, and Department of English.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful in nature, and curricular activities like seminars happen regularly (e.g., there are professors who take us to Japan, the US, and many more) just to increase the students' mindset. Exams are also organized regularly as it is a home university, so the exams are conducted at our university itself.
Other: The campus life of this university is very much different from other universities as it is located in Shantiniketan, Bolpur, West Bengal. There is a rich culture of its own; it has its own heritage culture, and this university has been recognized by UNESCO as the world's living heritage complex and university. It plays an important role in India. It is also a central university. The cost of living and the cost of study are also very much affordable as there is a hostel for living. The departments are very near the hostel, so it might take 5 to 10 minutes to walk there.

Shade of history department of Viva Bharati.
Placements: There is no placement in courses like history. But pass-out students have good careers in other fields also. In previous years, companies provided internships. Few like Wipro, etc. You can prefer this college as it is good in academics. The rest depends upon how you adapt to this college.
Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi throughout the campus. The university has a library and air conditioners. Classrooms are quite good with ACs and smart rooms. The university provides one of the cheapest hostels in the overall India. There is a PM Hospital for free medical care for students. Every department has a canteen. But not too good.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. The history department has NAAC+ credit. Professors are very helpful. The teaching quality is too good. The curriculum is based on NEP. Semester exams are quite difficult. You have to acquire 40% to pass in examination and at least 75% attendance to sit in the exam.
Other: I chose this college for honors in history. I wish there were some fieldwork. Regarding the study, the university is very cultural-centric. There are no promotions for Western events. We have good scholarships.

The college has good faculty members, facilities, and infrastructure.
Placements: So as I mentioned earlier I have completed my graduation in history so, there isn't any company coming for placement and package. Apart from all things my college is located in such a beautiful place I. e Shantiniketan. I don't have any ideas about internship and placement because I come from a nonengineering background and in history especially no one gets the opportunity to do an internship.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but there are some problems with medical facilities and of course, due to regional variations. The food culture of students doesn't match with this place. Overall it's good to be here. There is a problem with canteen management become students have still faced a lot of problems with that. The food quality is also very poor.
Faculty: Our professors are very knowledgeable because they have done their Ph.D. in foreign countries. They have decided to become professors within the nation and educate their people. About the semester exam, it is really very tough so you can't read the whole syllabus in one day and sit in the exam you have to read properly everything that is taught in the class.
Other: I have selected this college because of my best friend. Everything is very well managed in the case of my college.

It has an average study, a beautiful environment, and the best culture.
Placements: There are no placements or very few placements. The placement cell is closed after 2020 and is not open yet. Now, the placement cell has become a dance classroom. We have to find an internship, and no internship is provided by the university. Some companies' placements are provided by mail from the university to apply online and give interviews online and if selected then good. The package offered is not too high and if we are not selected, we have to find a company for a job on our own.
Infrastructure: It has good infrastructure. The road is very fine and strong. It has one of the biggest and oldest libraries in India, where the Rabindranath Tagore book is placed. It comes under the World Heritage Site. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus area. Some classrooms are old, and some are newly designed, which is very good. The canteen provides good quality food at a low price. Regular sports activities happen here. Labs are also available.
Faculty: The course curriculum is not updated from 1985 in Japanese. Teachers are qualified from big universities like JNU and from foreign universities. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes us industry-ready, and we will make extra effort for that from our side too. Exams are not too difficult if we study well. The pass percentage is approximately 85%.
