Shamik Chanda's Review On Pailan College Of Management And Technology - [PCMT], Kolkata

Management should have focussed on the placements from the initial stage apart from anything else since that gives a college main reputation. Instead they focussed on building construction.

They have their own entrance examination. Also they accept MAT,GMAT scores. Most students were through their own entrance since that was obviously less competitive.

Curriculam was not bad covers all subjects quite in details. But does not actually have all experienced faculties. Good to get a degree for self learners.

Internship were mostly sourced by the students themselves. Some were provided by the college. The college provided internships did not offer any stipend.

It does not truly have any placement capabilities though a placement cell exists formally. In 2004 most students were placed after the course is over but not all. Salary was 5 figure for some some even got into 4 figure salary jobs.

College fest happened though not with a big budget it was not that happening one but sort of a local function where students sang and danced and recited.

In 2004 fee was around 1.5L. Apart from course fee other miscellaneous fees were there time to time.

Sports were organised a basket ball court was there which was mostly used by hostelites. Day scholars hardly used the outdoor games facilities. A table tennis board was there and Gym and swimming pool were under construction.

Initially hostels were awful in terms of water facilities and hygiene parameters. Insect bites were regular issue and Food was okay.

Alumni network is very poor. Main reason might be even the old faculties have moved out and no-one initiated any alumni club sort of concept.

Exams were once in 6 months moderately tough, still flexible enough to pass anyone out of it. Internally seated exams invigilated by its own faculties.

It was a mix of regular and permanent faculties but some part time junior faculties are also there who are not consistent throughout the year or curriculum. Some experienced visiting faculties are also available.
