Dislikes

Unhygienic and uncleaned washrooms facilities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

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.

Green Campus with a variety of medicinal plants along with their name plates.
Presence of zero ragging. A total anti-ragging college.

Dislikes

Hygiene needs to improved quite a bit especially the bathrooms being a girls college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Developed lab work and field trips along with excursions are included in the Curriculum. Also faculty members are from highly qualified fields in particular degrees. Teaching methods of most of them are quite impressive and student friendly. The level of examinations are quite challenging but also good for the development of the students more rigidly in their particular fields. Not to forget has a huge and green campus.

Everything about Bethune College

4.0Helpful

Likes

I like the faculty members. One does not need any coaching from the outside.
I like the atmosphere in the college and library . It is very student friendly

Dislikes

The college premises does not have an area for sports .
The toilets are not cleaned and not maintained

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course for my passion in trees and biology . There are 7 professors and some qualified guest lecturers. They all are highly qualified. DBT star college scheme is also there in the department. Students capacity for 1st semester is 36 for this department. Teachers are very helpful and audio visual teaching method is there in the class. Teachers use projector and presentation for a topic There are two semesters in every year conducted by University of Calcutta . But teachers take internal test exams before that and the questions are very easy to write .

I had heard that the faculty members of the physics department at Bethune College are excellent and after entering the department I realized that it was true. We have 7 professors. They are mind-blowing. Their teaching methods, and guidance especially in our lab everything were overwhelming. Our teachers encouraged us for extracurricular activities as well.

Placement Experience:

Placements at the graduation level are comparatively much better at Bethune College. All departments are open to sit for placements during their final year. Companies like TCS, WIPRO and other big companies offer placements to the final-year students. Professors help you through the process and the Placement committee is active in this matter which makes it easier for students. The highest package offered to the bachelor students is 3.6lpa with a median salary of 2.4lpa. Placements are roughly 50% as most students opt for PG courses which is actually a better option if someone doesn't have an urgency to get a job. Personally, I feel a master's degree in a respective course will fetch a high salary in the company. Economics graduates can opt for MSc, MBA, CFA and many other respective PG courses.
