Review of West Bengal State University.
Placements: About 5–10 years ago, some journalism students used to get placements. There are no placements now. You have to try different media houses or online news portals personally. The competition is very high to get a good job in the journalism field. However, if you search for a content writer or news reporter job with a basic salary, you will get Rs. 10,000 per month to Rs. 20,000 per month. If you pursue journalism, you might get job roles like content writer, news editor, sub-editor, proofreader, voice anchor, radio jockey, event manager, etc.
Infrastructure: Our university is quite good. We have a very large library. It's a very colorful, beautifully designed, and well-maintained room. All kinds of books are available, and books are kept on shelves in an organised way. We have a study room within the library, and some computers are also kept on one side so that many students can work on different types of projects. We have multiple Wi-Fi facilities on campus. We have facilities to play indoor games like table tennis and carroms. We have a big playground right in front of the university. Many students play football, cricket, and badminton. We have a university hostel, but the food quality is not good. Most students live in PGs. Our classrooms are good and pleasant. They have huge windows. Benches are good and new.
Faculty: The journalism department at WBSU is not good. There were around 46 students in the department. In the first class, we learned we have only two faculty members in the department. Our HOD is not good. She took only one or two classes in the whole first semester. She had taken responsibility for five papers in the first semester, and she did not even teach anything. No one can say anything against her as she is the HOD. Another faculty member is good at teaching. Sadly, he had given only one paper, which he completed way before the exam. He also provided all kinds of study materials. He has taken doubt-solving classes. You will not learn any practical things. You will pass if you are obedient to HOD and study notes from Google. If you are good at communicating, our staff will help you to attend many seminars at different colleges and universities where you can participate as a speaker.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to be a journalist, but I did not know the ground rules of WBSU. If you study in a good place where they teach practical things, this course has a good scope. If we had more faculty members, we could have learned so much because we had the facilities to learn practical things like how to shoot, do camera work, edit videos, tell stories, etc. The campus is very good and filled with greenery. It has a lot of space. Our university is far away from the nearest city. Many students have transportation issues. You can apply for SVCM scholarships. You can't apply for multiple scholarships as our university allows only one scholarship per student. You need at least 55% to renew the scholarship next year.

Overall, it is a good college.
Placements: Placements are good. Many students are getting placed in numerous reputed private sectors with a standard pay scale.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very satisfying. There is a library for scholars, stocked with excellent books. We've got three labs. Those are the drug lab, the chemistry lab, and the computer wisdom lab. All the labs are well equipped with ultramodern technology. Wi-Fi is also available. The college also provides a canteen with good food at an affordable cost.
Faculty: All faculty members are excellent. They're helpful, good, and knowledgeable. The classes are helpful in making students industry-ready. The difficulty level of the examinations is moderate. Nearly 90% of students passed from this institute.
