Remarks

The college needed total revamp. The faculty of physiology and Zoology were of high standard. Extra curricular activities, Canteen were almost non-existent.

Entrance Preview

My poor grades in class XII forced me with no other option but to chose this college.i scored with 2nd division .it was much below than my own prior standard .considering i was star mark holder in class x Where i got 78%.

Course Curriculum Overview

3

Detailed , very big.It was unattractive CBSE/NCERT Produced much better books and syllabus. Considering future of students. Curriculum needed more practical approach to the current world. Not only bookish knowledge.

Internships Opportunities

Nothing in Botany honors, but yes I college internship after pursuing BLISc (Library& Information science)It was only 1200 Rs. at that time .:)but that internship experience helped gain a bright future , during future interviews .

Placement Experience

1

There was no placements . For job opportunities students need to depend on their effort and initiative. This is a big overalll question mark on our Education system, which produces so Many degree holders , but without job.

College Events

1

Culture fests do occurred during college but i could feel it was highly polarised with dominating one sided Students Union operating the whole show. I had later much better experience at TISS , MUMBAI .It opened my eyes to great Knowledge world.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure was moderate, but there were corruption in admission process though student union. There were loopholes in the process.Hopefully by now it would have been solved.

Fees and Financial Aid

No, there was as such nothing , good scholarship / loan facility offered by the college that i know.

Campus Life

2

Extracurricular activities, Canteen were almost non-existent. No sports facility except TT was there. Yes, only once I saw debates to be happening. Boring in a word, below average experience about the college. But I learned to acclimatise in different situation

Hostel Facilities

1

No hostel facilities was available.we have to rely for outside food in the absence of a proper canteen.

Alumni/Alumna

At my time there was no alumni network as such .I missed badly the college culture. The communication gap could be minimized by initiative towards open forums.

Exam Structure

Exams were conducted Under University of Calcutta. Exams were hectic indeed as the syllabus was too large and non -attractive compared to NCERT, CBSE (Which are highly valuable sources for inforamtion).CU lagged behind with old syllabus which was not in trend with current innovation .

Faculty

3

The faculty were far better and probably the only good point about the college. But that too, of zoology and physiology and Botany faculty were just OK.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is very relevant as it provides us an overall knowledge of biology and not dividing it into various sections rather giving us an insight of every aspect of biology. It includes everything such as microbiology, zoology, botany, physiology, molecular biology and so on.

Placement Experience:

Placements and job oppurtinities are less since this is an undergraduate college offwering honours degree. Though there is a placement and career councelling cell that looks over this matter. Placements are offered only in a few subjects, such as industrial chemisrty and computer science. The rate of placements are very high and come with high packages. Though I am not interested in placements, but I have started taking preparations for compititive exams. Such preparations are very supported here, rather than jobs and placements.

Placement Experience:

Students get placement offers in the first year of M.Stat. In general, however, most students prefer to go abroad for higher studies. Students who sit for placements mostly get placed in Finance and Analytics companies, typically in Business Analyst, Risk Analyst and other roles. ISI has a 100% placement record for B.Stat- M.Stat students. Companies like Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Co., JP Morgan & Chase, Amazon, etc. come for placements. Last year, the highest package offered was 56 lpa with the package being 28 lpa. M.Tech CS had the highest overall package at 89 lpa.
