Remarks

This college mainly focuses on Research and I wanted to be a scientist that's why I took admission in this college. This college is among the top 100 of Nature Index Ranking. This is one of the best colleges in the country. Considering all these factors in my mind and my interest in core research and exploring the world. I joined this college.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course is very updated. We mainly focus on Research. Most of the faculties are PhD from USA, France, Germany or other countries from Europe. We have got a bunch of talented profs. Our course curriculum is experimental and people are still experimenting with the course structure. The Curriculum is in development phase.

Internships Opportunities

We mostly intern in the research department of other colleges in various state and countries all over the world. The amount of stipend is not defined as such.

Placement Experience

1.5

Most of the students go for PhD only handful of them go for jobs. There are very few companies who visit our college. There is no placement cell. Most of the Alumni are in Research at various universities. There is also an Entrepreneurship Cell promoting Entrepreneurship in the college.

College Events

4.5

We have got the best campus life inside the campus. There's no life and nightlife outside the campus. The very diverse culture on campus but Bengalis are more in number. Annual College fest is Inquivesta (Largest Science fest in North India). The number of talks and events are carried out throughout the year.

Fees and Financial Aid

KVPY rankers and under 10k jee advanced rankers get 60000 annually as a scholarship. Under 1 percentile CBSE and other state rankers get the same amount of scholarship others don't get any scholarship.

Campus Life

4

Decent Wifi Speed. One of the best Research Labs in the country and world. We have great sports expanded on the campus. We have a swimming pool. 3 storey library and 2 storey Computer Center and 1 whole building for a Research Labs and Other Building for academics namely TRC and LHC.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

In the first year, 3 people stay in one room and from 2nd year onwards 2 people in a room. Hostel room has 2-3 almirahs, 2-3 Desk and Chair, 3 lights and 2 fan and two large windows for ventilation. Wifi Speed is decent in Hotel. Every student should live in the hostel only.

Placement Experience:

I'm not sure but I think from 3rd year we will be eligible for placements. There are many finance companies, banks like HDFC, SBI, Canara,etc... & companies like TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, Deloitte, PWC,etc.... The highest package last year was like 9.64 LPA & in the year before it was 10 LPA while the average is around 2-2.5 LPA. Around 20% of the total strength gets placement. Even only few % of the total strength applies for the placements. My plan is to take a placement if I can or if not then off campusing and then gather work experience & do MBA later which will give me very benifits.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I had chosen this course because of the Media and the lab facility, and my desire to understand the entire course in journalism and mass communication. The course that I took gave a bit more theoretical aspects rather than the practical ones. The practical ones were a bit less compared to theory ones. The areas I would suggest for improvement would be to encourage more assignments and provide more internship facilities to the students. The frequency of the exams for me was okay, and it was moderate, not difficult.

Placement Experience:

Studentsbecome eligible for placements from 7th semester. Various companies such as TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Godrej, etc. come for placements. Earlier many offers used to come however in the recent years the number of offers made have reduced significantly. highest package comes around 10 to 11 lakhs per annum with average being 4-5 lakhs per annum. I have kept my options open after completion of degree in doing further studies that is Mtech or getting into a job whichever seems appropriate at the situation.

I chose this course because I saw the potential in the course for a better and precise future since hospital management is overall management and administration is a part of management. The college provided us 2 internships which really helps us to gain exposure in practical life.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I love computer science so I chose this department. The teaching in this department is very good and the labs are also very good. We have many exams in our semester.It would have been better if we had studied our theory paper a little better. And it would have been better if we had studied Android app development a little better.
