Bethune college from a student's perspective

3.8Helpful

Likes

The professors have a good teaching experience and they complete the syllabus in time. The college has two big libraries that contain all the books needed for every subject. The professors ensure that all students understand the matter and score well
The campus is huge with a great canteen service. The canteen food is affordable and tasty as well. They offer both veg and non veg options. Sports day events, inter and intra college competitions are also organised. Annual function is also organised.

Dislikes

The administrative work takes a long time. Sometimes the professors cancel the classes without any prior information. Some professors just read out of a ppt or a book. They are not super helpful or flexible when it comes to a student's need.
The campus is not super hygienic. There's dust on the desks and it felt like the bathrooms never got cleaned. The lifts don't work 70% of the time and you need to climb 200 stairs for every other class as they take place in different buildings/floor.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum mirrors the present real world requirements. Disorders, statistics, questionnaires are all included in the curriculum. Students are taught the basics of interaction with a client. They are taught how to establish rapport with the client and they are also taught the ethical limits of a psychologist. Semester exams are conducted during the month of February and July/August. Students easily get 75+ percent with hard work and consistency because the questions asked in exams are of average difficulty level. Students are asked straightforward and practical questions that test their understanding of the subject.

Everything about Bethunbari

4.8Helpful

Likes

The psychology department is the leading department of the college. Teachers are polite and excellent in their field. We have 3 labs in the department and enough inttuments.
We have a strict anti-ragging cell. Other than ragging we have right to complain against any type of harassment by faculty members. We have departmental libraries, archives, Science & arts library also.

Dislikes

The bathrooms are not clean and lack maintenance and water.
The lift in the psychology department is not working for 6-7 months but no one repaired it. It's problematic for pwd students, teachers and who have emergencies.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The reputation of the college, and reviews from senior students influenced me to take admission to Bethune college. The college environment changed me a lot, my personality got improved, I got to know more about life, my perspective about life developed. I think demonstration method should be introduced it improves the teaching. The exam timings got affected for the election's and questions were bit intellectual but helped to improve writing skill.

The faculty, the teachers, the campus, and some gem of books in the Library MAINLY
The affordability a 100 times! Imagine a good studious atmosphere with teachers interested in teaching and always there for you just 1800/- a year!!!

Dislikes

The cultural side could have been a little more flourished it is not like it DOES NOT HAVE but it could have been better
The campus life is a little dry there so being an outgoing person I feel a little dull but a good friend group is all it takes though:)(it might be heaven for you if you're an introvert)

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm BA psychology and I love my course here!! The faculty especially is really dedicated and in terms of practicality it's very up to date with then labs and instruments if you are interested in that. Even though maintanence is a slight issue there as it is a government college there is issues with the maintanence but to be honest the faculty makes up for it

Likes

The behaviour of teachers and their cooperation
The cooperative and helpful non teaching staff

Dislikes

The college campus is not cleaned regularly. It is a big campus but it should be cleaned atleast weekly.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum offered with the course is appropriate and shapes u for ur future job prospects. Teaching methods are perfect as per the curriculum suggested . I personally chose the course for my keen interest in the field. Others might have different reasons as to some might like to help people in distress while others would watch out for the present statistics of the growth of job prospects in this specific field. The exams are quite difficult because of the fact that the college is affiliated with the Calcutta University and the university is known for its difficulty level although the difficulty level is certainly worth it

3.4Helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

The subject of Psychology has always been of great interest to me, I have always wanted to pursue a career in psychology. Among all the other colleges in Kolkata, Bethune College has one of the most popular and renowned Psychology departments. The team of highly qualified professors take a keen interest in nurturing young students and helping them understand what awaits them in the field of Psychology. A team of five Professors bring forth their years of experience and knowledge while teaching a class of 38 students. Not only do they actively carry forward the course curriculum, but they also stand as tour guides and mentors when you need them. They make the student's exam ready and provide all the necessary notes or lecture slides needed for scoring high percentages.
