Bethune College Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The only thing that influenced me to choose psychology was the period of lockdown. My whole family was affected by coronavirus. I had no one standing by my side. That was the time when I came to realise that how much it's important to give priority to mental health. Also collegedunia itself helped me a lot in choosing my college ,i.e., Bethune college by giving me all the informations about it. Rest I have no complaints about my college's curriculum and teaching methods in my field BSC psychology honours.

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.

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.

It is one of the best colleges in India for the BSc Psychology Honours course, and it is in my home state. So I didn't look further. It has very highly qualified professors, who are also practicing psychologists themselves, so we get an insight into what kind of a life we are choosing, along with some bits of experiences we hear from them.

Calcutta University is the first in india to provide psychology. The library is very well stacked, which is extremely important as psychology books are very expensive. The practical lab is very updated compared to other colleges in the city.
