Remarks

Bethune College being one of the oldest institute in India has the best faculty. It is affiliated to Calcutta University and NAAC 'A' acrredited. It has a very good ranking among colleges offering Economics course in Kolkata. Moreover, Economics has been a subject of interest from school level, hence, it was my first choice for higher studies.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

Course syllabus was updated according to Calcutta University guidelines. However, the syllabus was a little lengthy for some topics to be covered up in a year. Industrial visits were not done. Faculty members are very experienced, cooperative and helpful. Economics department Head Dr. Suranjana Dasgupta and Associate Professors Dr. Satarupa Bandyopadhyay and Mrs. Maitri Ghosh were our guiding light.

Placement Experience

2

Placements have been a disappointment for me. There weren't too many companies invited for campus interviews, though TCS, Netscribes Pvt. Ltd. to name a few, had recruited some graduates in our final year. Alumni network does not seem to be strong enough to guide and help graduates, there is lack of communication.

College Events

4

The Students' Committee organises a cultural fest named 'AALAP' every year. Participants come from colleges all over Kolkata. Events include street play, fashion show, music, dance- eastern and western, non-fire cooking, nail art and lots more. Musicians and bands adorn the night as the guest perfomers. Essay competitions, dance competitions on both intra college and inter college level occur atleast twice a year.

Campus Life

4

The campus is huge including 5 buildings, 1 building for the collegiate school, playground, canteen, 2 libraries for Science and Arts streams. The campus is facilitated with WiFi for the use of the students. Laboratories are equipped with all types of equipments to carry out experiments. Webel (computer training institute) has been associated with the college, providing training to the students. Their curriculum is a part of the college curriculum, so students need not spend extra time for Webel's computer training program. Sports is also a part of the college's curriculum, yearly the Student Committee along with Sports Committee organises for Annual Sports Day.

The course is completely based on NMC new guidelines. Along with the theory classes where we know the structure and their working in dissection we actually see them on cadaver . Lectures should be more interesting as it's get boring to literally listen the concepts for first time like a story and at the end we forget everything

Placement Experience:

from 6/7 th semester onwards students become eligible for campus placements. Infosys visited with around 22-23 offers , Cognizant visited with arount 15-16 offers , TCS visited with several offers(not sure how many) , that's it the big names. Apart from these small startups and companies visited too. Highest package offered was 11lpa by TCS , 9.6lpa by infosys, 6.48lpa by Cognizant. Profiles were ASE in TCS , PAT in CTS , SET in Infosys. The percentage of students placed was less arount 30-40% , mostly because the curriculum lacks placement prep. I have joined Cognizant as a Programmer Analyst Trainee after graduating .

Placement Experience:

Actually this is a general degree University , so I must mention that placement facalities are not so good. But yes , Job Fair is organised in University by some external agencies which offer jobs varying 2-2.5 lakhs per annum . But in the university most of the students do not accept that jobs. Half of the students are more interested on the higher studies. So ahet completing the fourth semester they prepare for PhD. And the another half are preparing for central government sponsored exams like CGL, CHSL, RRB, SBI , IBPS, LIC etc. University has a significant number of students who have qualified for Government Competitive exams.

From 4th semester, students become eligible for internships and from 7 th or 8th semester, they become eligible for placements. Almost 80 % students get placed each year. So companies like TCS, Infosys come each year for placements. The highest placement last year was 15 lakhs and average was 6-7 lakhs

Reviewed on Jan 6, 2026(Enrolled 2025)

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'd say the BBA LLB curriculam si quite relevent and comprehensive. the blend of business management and legal studies really made me choose this course because it gives a holistic understanding of both fields. The curriculum is pretty practical and prepares us well for real- world applications like internships and moot courts and also sets a strong foundation dor further studies in law. In term of Imporvements i think the curruculum could benefit from more interactive workshops and practical training sessions and somtimes a bit more hands on experience and indusry exposure help bridge the gap between thoery and practice. Regarding exams, I find the frequency and timing are well balanced. the semester exams come at a good pace and whike some subjects can be challenging they are definately manageable with consisnent study.
