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:

I've always found economics to be really interesting and thats why I choose to persue it. I wanted to dive deep into the actual concepts and workings of the economy and understand how the world works from an economist's point of view. Sadly the curriculam doesnt bridge the gap between theory and real life. It focuses heavily on textbook and not how the world works.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would say the course is good but you have to opt for masters and PhD to get a good placement. After bsc there's not any placement. The curriculum was basically practical and theoretical based. But I think it should be more practical so that we can get a job after doing bsc. The teaching method was good I didn't have any problem with that. As it was under Calcutta University so the exam questions were too difficult, sometimes it came out of our syllabus , i think they should change this a little bit .

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus for BSc. Microbiology Hons. was in line with my interests. Few topics like virology, bacteriology, and diversity of the microbial workd are what drew my attention to pick this course. Although there are some portions which one would consider "boring", but I believe every subject has its interesting as well as boring portions. It's seems fair to judge a subject by seeing if the "boring" portions outweigh the "interesting" parts or not.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In terms of relevance and comprehensiveness of the course curriculum, my rating is solid 4.1 out of 5. Because it offers a variety of courses like compulsory english, environmental science, constitution values of India, Inter Disciplinary Courses where one can opt for a variety of subjects which change along with the course proceeds or semester changes. Not only that two major papers and one minor paper are present throughout the semester. As a student we should be well aware of our country and its law as well as how we can keep our environment healthy followed by sustainable development.
