Bethune College Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The college has a Career Counseling Cell which specifically caters to placements and job opportunities. Seminars on communicative English and workshops on career counseling are frequently held for students of all semesters. Reputed companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, and Genpact recruit students from campus placement services. The number of students getting recruited from campus is around 25 per year.

All 3rd-year students and sometimes 4th-semester students are eligible for campus placements. A lot of companies including TCS visit the college. On average, 4 LPA is offered. A lot of students who want to get into jobs right after graduation get placed.

I liked mathematics in higher secondary and also only got the marks required to get admission to a reputed college in mathematics. So I enrolled in this course. In Bethune each semester 4-5 teachers teach us(31 students approx) in our batch. The professors have high qualifications. They try to conduct the interactive class and to look upon everyone's problems. The exams were not that easy, the questions are set by the Calcutta university but sticking strictly to the syllabus helped me pass.

The second year students are eligible for placement facilities. Usually, 20-30% of the crowd gets placed but students opt for higher education and tend to focus on their academics. They often go for Msc or Mca courses to enhance their knowledge in the subject which also helps in better placement offers in the long run.

Around 95% of the students get placements after completing the final semester from our college. The average salary package offered was 4.5 LPA. TCS, Infosys and Wipro are the top recruiting companies in our college. Most of the students are not interested in placements. They want to opt for higher studies i.e. MSc and PhD.

From the 5th semester, students will be eligible for campus placement. Many recognized companies like TCS, WIPRO, etc. visited and offered a job with a healthy salary after the selection process. Maximum percentages of students from Bethune College are getting placements in recognized companies. I also got selected in TCS. But my plan was to continue my post graduation degree, so I left the job opportunity. My future plan is to complete my pg degree in clinical psychology and after that, I want to complete my MPhil.

First of all I have looked for the good infrastructure and I have had that in this college. Secondly the most important thing for me is the faculties and facilities that are providing by the college authority is the primary thing. But here also the college impressed me a lot and thereby I have selected the college.

I chose this college because firstly I preferred girls college because I feel more comfortable, secondly I heard that the faculty members of this college are really highly qualified. I have opted for this course because I want to do my higher studies in Computer Science.
