Remarks
Vivekananda College is ranked among top colleges of Kolkata. This college is mainly famous for it's Zoology, Botany, Physics and Chemistry department. Being the youngest department Geography is growing day by day. This department will provide you a very modern infrastructure with projectors in class rooms, modern instruments like dumpy, theodolite, prismatic campus, barometer etc.. and a computer lab for Girls. This college give me a lot of scopes.. beside my study there was a lot scope of extra curriculum.. personality development cell, NCC, NSS, mountaineering cell for geography students, rock climbing cell for geography students,, Astronomy club,, very active drama club,, very active debate club (already during my 3 years of college it won state level competition twice), Vivekananda College being a reputed 'A' grade college always prefer to take admission through Merit and marks.. no entrance exam is required here.
Course Curriculum Overview
Geography was my preferred subject while this college was providing a science degree with good lab infrastructure. There is 4 full time contractual teacher in the department now but there is no CSC required faculty there while student taking capacity per class is 40, so student teacher ration is 1 teacher for 10 student. Teaching Method is not same of every faculty.. there will ba some faculty very descriptive in teaching manner with a detailed explaination while some faculty like to teach in a cool way and within a short time but student will get some problem during practical classes. There was a mid term exam and test before final exam.. but now in semester system only one exam is taken before semester final.. and it is really very tough for those who don't study in detail.. but quite easy for studious students..
Placement Experience
3rd year students are eligible for placement. There is a placement cell of College. Though this is a general degree college most of student prefer to study more and go to another prestigious university to pursue their masters, but some department like Journalism, mass communication, electrical, computer science, electronics participate actively every year in placement cell. Sadhana TV, News 18, companies from Behala Industrial Estate, TCS group are those where students are employed directly after college.
