Reviewed on Nov 25, 2015

Remarks

I had a mixed experiance in this college. there are many things that should be improved. like there are short of place in laboratory so you feel little congested during lab session. There is a short of instruments like microscope, PCR mechine, incubetor,

Entrance Preview

In my time there is no entrance exam. I fill up the form and submitted it and got my admission according my B.Sc. marks. I choose this college because I had a dream to study in this college.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is good and the syllabus is good enough. they follow the syllabus of university of Calcutta. Course is 4 semester system and there is a excursion during the course. this experience is a life time experience. the quality of study is very good. there are two specialisation in the final two semester, you have to choose one of them. specialisations are genetics and Industrial Fishery Science.

Internships Opportunities

There is No internship in this course. as this is the masters programme in basic science you have to complete the course work before getting a job.After doing the masters programme most of the students go for research work in various fields. But Some choose teaching as their profession and joined some private schools as a teacher.

Placement Experience

3.5

There is no official placement programme in this course. But don't take it negetively. Permanent faculties have different connections. they recommend your name to them and you will get the job. In my batch there are 25 students and among them 4 students got chance in research, 2 got a chance in world bank project as a officer for five year, and other 11 student became teacher in different schools.

College Events

We celebrate different events like freshers welcome, teachers day, independence day, new year eve, saraswati puja, holi, etc. but the main attraction is the cultural programme. the main cultural night celebrated on the month of February at Najrul Mancha, there are different sports events in the winter season. Asutosh college have a amture football team in local league. there are various seminars and workshops on different subject held during the course period.

Fee Structure And Facilities

As the course is self financed you have to pay approxymetely 80 thousand as total semester fee (including 4 semester). along side you have to pay more or less 2 thousand exam fee/ semester. at the time of excursion you have to pay more or less 7500 INR.

Fees and Financial Aid

scholarship available for the good candidates either male or female. State govt. award merit cum scholarship for masters students. If you have a 1st class percentage in graduation you can get it. For only female students there are a National fellowship called Indira Gandhi Fellowship for single girl child. you can avail loan fecility at that collage, but you have to contact the college before getting loan

Campus Life

3.5

Campus life is very cool. Like other college there are political tension in this college but this is restricted to only graduation students. they does not disturb you for political issue. in my course there are sexual orientation, like in my batch there are 18 girls but only 7 boys. students came from different socio-economic environment but that does not bother any one. environment is secular in the college.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

There is a hostel for male students only, but seat is limited. So maximum students stay in mess or PG. in that locality there are many PG accommodation available in pocket friendly price. As the college is located in a posh area mess does not serve food f

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are very helpful to us. they guided us in best possible way like giving notes and other study materials. when we became senior we also help our juniors in their study related quaries.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is student friendly, that means semester system. there are five theory paper and a practical paper for 1st two semester. From 3rd sem you have to attend 4 theory paper and two practical paper. In last sem you have to attend 4 theory paper,

Faculty

There are 10 permanent faculty and 6 other guest faculty. Permanent faculty are very helpful in nature. If you have any doubt they are there to solve your doubt in any time. They teach you how to love the subject because if you love the subject you can do

The Techno Experience

Likes

Practical Exposure with hands on training is always good for personal growth
The laboratories were well equipped with state of the art instruments
Entrepreneurship was encouraged and it really helped us with designing future start ups.

Dislikes

Lack of scholarships for the needy is one thing that needed to be worked on.
There was a distinct lack of encouragement to pursue extracurricular activity.
Sometimes it felt like it would have helped if we had a mental health counsellor onboard with the department.

Placement Experience:

Techno India University has a strong campus placement. Several students got jobs during the last semester, and I am one of them. Some others choose to wait for better opportunities. Some joined good startups. The package was nominal as we were all freshers. After getting my degree, I planned to pursue corporate experience and then join a lab for my PhD.

My thoughts on our beloved Sidho Kanho Birsha University.

Likes

The most I liked about my university is the infrastructure and availability of facilities for our studies.
Second thing I like are our professors . They help us in every aspect of our educational or personal life .
Third thing I like the most is my batchmates who gives me encouragement for pursuing my studies.

Dislikes

The university is a bit far from the Purulia city . So the connectivity is a problem.
I think if we get some extra hours of the lab facilities, that will be great.
Water purifier are available in some of the floors I think the number should be increased.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement of our university is quite good and it is getting better day by day. Especially our chemistry department is doing great in this field. Last year our dept almost hit 100% placements and the highest package was of 5 lpa. I am planning to peruse my PhD after MSc.

The hustles and joys of a college life.

I wanted to take journalism and Mass Communication, and that too in Kolkata. I came to know that by word of mouth, this is one of the best colleges in Kolkata for Mass Communication, with around six professors for a single course. I got rejected from Jadavpur College as I received around 92.25 percent which did not meet the merit cut-off level of the college. The admission process relies on the application via the official online website, and it can be based on the last percentage gathered by the candidate. There is no entrance exam based on this course, as far as my knowledge is concerned. The admission experience was smooth....Read More
