B.A. (Hons.) in Economics - Batch of 2025

1.4

1.0Placements3.0Infrastructure1.0Faculty1.0Crowd & Campus Life1.0Value for Money

Visva-Bharati is all you need to know if you're not a topper.

Placements: None were offered. I graduated last year, but the college only offered placements for Master's degree students. So I didn't know much about placements.

Infrastructure: There wasn't much infrastructure, but the campus was clean. There was no Wi-Fi. The rules were very strict. Shantiniketan was difficult for women to live in, to be honest, but you could manage. I felt caged. You could also be a day scholar or choose a non-restricted PG.

Faculty: Faculty members were just average. Many professors were not good, though a few were supportive. Some took out their frustrations on students, which made my college life miserable.

Other: There wasn't much of a social life. I wished I hadn't taken admission there and regretted my decision. I wouldn't recommend the college based on my experience. I wouldn't recommend pursuing graduation from here because it wasn't worth it. It looked glamorous from the outside, but it was the same as everywhere else. I opted for Economics, but it was the same everywhere.

The top central university in India.

Placements: 70% students are placed in college. The highest salary is 1.5 lakh per month, the average is Rs. 60,000, and the lowest is Rs. 25,000 per month. Wipro, Infosys, Amazon, ihacks recruit. 25% students get internships. Teacher, Interpreter, and Translator roles are offered. Provided genuine feedback to help future students make the right decision. Highlighted both positive aspects and areas for improvement.

Infrastructure: All necessary things and facilities are available in our college. Everything is good.

Faculty: Teachers are good and highly qualified, and their teaching quality is average, not so good. The course curriculum is relevant. Exams are not very difficult. The passing percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose it because I want to learn a new language. They should increase the number of faculties and companies. All is good, but not excellent.

Good faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: If we talk about foreign languages, then after becoming fluent in a language, one can easily get opportunities in any multinational company. In the field of Hindi, one option is to become a teacher of this subject, and apart from that, becoming a professor is also a good career choice.

Infrastructure: The entire university campus has free Wi-Fi facilities. Talking about the library, many departments have their own libraries, and apart from that, there is a central library where we can easily access lac of books. The seating arrangements are also quite good. Viva-Bharati has around 30 hostels in total. The hostel facilities are average. Some hostels are in very good condition. For medical needs, there is a hospital called PM Hospital, where students receive free treatment.The campus is very large (spread over about 1,100 acres). There are so many trees here that it feels as if we have entered the lap of nature. The atmosphere here is completely peaceful.

Faculty: The faculty here is quite good. Speaking of teachers and backgrounds, they have completed their degrees from prestigious universities in the country. Their teaching methods are easy to understand, and the behavior of all the teachers is also good. Semester exams get delayed sometimes because admissions through the queue take time. The passing percentage in some departments is very good, but overall, the passing percentage is found to be a bit low.

Other: I already had an interest in Hindi, which is why I chose this subject. The history of this department has been very unique. Many great writers have served as teachers in Hindi Bhawan, such as Hazari Prasad Dwivedi. Apart from him, many renowned poets and writers used to visit here. Viva-Bharati was declared a World Heritage Site in 2023.

M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2024

5.0

5.0Placements5.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

Overall, best university for M.Sc. in botany course.

Placements: Most of the students got jobs in top multi-national companies. Last year, the highest salary offered was around 23 LPA by Microsoft. The average number was also high. Top recruiting companies were NCBS, CMFRI, IISc, etc. Many students were offered full-time jobs and work in a variety of supporting roles. Top jobs were botanist, plant taxonomist, and so on.

Infrastructure: Facilities at our college were quite excellent. Every branch consisted of blocks, and each block included either lift 1 or 2. We additionally maintain distinct areas for sports, library, and canteen. College campus lacks hotels, but there were 3 hotel locations within 5 KM. I prefer staying at private hotels since they offer larger and higher quality rooms.

Faculty: Faculty members were highly experienced. Most of them completed their PhDs. They were friendly while teaching and clarifying doubts. College was self-contained, so semester exam correction was done at the college itself. The hard paper was moderate. The pass percentage was always high. The pass rate was over 50%.

Great campus and professors.

Placements: Placement is very low. There is no placement in the arts subjects, but there is placement in the language and management courses, etc. The scenario isn't that great now, but when the university was ranked in the top ten in NIRF, placement was better than it is now.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good with AC available, and free Wi-Fi is provided on campus. A cooler and free Wi-Fi are also available in the hostel. The hostel fee is very low. The hostel premises are clean, and there are many canteens, grounds, and a gym with well-equipped machines and a trainer.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and their teaching quality is also great. The exams in the university are difficult. The pass percentage is 40%. The curriculum is also relevant, but I don't think that it makes the students industry-ready, to be honest.

Other: Our batch was very good, they all were helpful and good at studies as well. The best thing about my course was the professors. They literally helped us a lot, along with the Ph.D. scholars. The surrounding area is full of greenery, with well-maintained roads, and a lot of functions and rituals are also celebrated.

A short peek into Kala Bhavana, Visva-Bharati University.

Placements: The situation of placements is very dire, as there is nobody placed from the institute. The institute does not help in any way to get you into a job or internship, especially if you're doing a BFA. Students mostly figure out their way by applying for internships and various fellowships.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are pretty good; it's not very modern as the institute is a heritage site, but the facilities provided are very good. You get specific art supplies from the department, and the best thing is the studio availability; it's open 24/7. The hostels are also good; I won't say very good due to the lack of a canteen and all.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful if you're open to talking to them. They are knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is somewhat in between very modern and old school. Semester exams are not very difficult, and the pass percentage is high.

Other: I chose the course to understand art practices and the art world better. The best thing about the course is that it's very chill and lets you have time to brew your imagination and creativity. Some new equipment would be helpful. The fests are not too many, but it's decent; the best one is Nandan Mela, a must.
