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.
