Remarks

Calcutta University is one of the oldest and popular universities in India. And best in West Bengal. I am privileged to be a part of this institution. And for my subject Sociology it is very well known.

My subject is Sociology. The syllabus is extremely updated. And we do a lot of practical as well as theoretical studies. We visit fields, do a lot of surveys. All my professors are immensely supportive. They provide a lot of information and teach us really well.

Class Size: 30Course Fees: INR 5000 per year

Placement Experience

The university do not provide any placement for jobs. No department from Calcutta University does that. The students have to find their own jobs after there degree

College Events

4.5

Yes there many extracurricular activities goes throughout the year. We have yearly social, yearly freshers and farewell party, swaraswati puja, bosonto utsav, sports, music and dance festival and many more. And i am a active member of all the events. I do participate in everything.

Campus Life

The campus is pretty big and the buildings are very old. We don't have any wifi facility but we do have a big library and many labs. Yes we have a indoor game room which has a table tennis board and a carrom board. We have a commom room too.

nothing much. Everything was good overall. If only the college could guide a bit about the placement program then it could be better.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is comprehensive and relevant covering literary theory, diverse texts and critical analysis. It prepares students for research and teaching. Exams are moderately challenging and well scheduled throughout the semester.

The Pros and Cons of Joining Jadavpur University Masters of Arts in Economics

Likes

Lush green and lovely campus, gives a perfect city vibes as well as greenery around
Huge social influence, and good knowledgable people around who are ready to discuss on any intellectual topics.
Expert faculty with proper emphasis on lecture quality, delivery, etc. Every faculty has a phD in their respective field.

Dislikes

Hectic lifestyle, there is a bit of pressure on syllabus completion
Exams conducted are a bit difficult with a higher frequency on conducting
Lack of Funding for campus development and deployment of proper infrastructure.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for applying for internships after the 3rd semester, and students can apply for placements only after 4th semester. Companies like Ericsson, Ernst and Young, JPMG makes visits our department for mostly analyst roles for economic and fundamental trading decisions. The highest offer made was 45LPA while the average is 7.5LPA. The median pakage is 8LPA. Almost 90% students secure placements after completing their degree since the Training and placement cell is pretty proactive in securing good company visits. I plan for investing and analyst roles in banking companies. I would sit for placements hoping for the same.

The negative were enormous starting with the infrastructure in some places there are new buildings halls which are not even maintained and that's the biggest problem facilities are not given to student in the hostel so much carelessness is there in the routine work people are very lazy to do their working time authority is very slow to do their workrecreational activities other than academics are very less a student didn't get the time for recreational and facilities were also not there I come modern infrastructure universities should be so we have to change this things to do the university prosper in the later year in the first and foremost thing is determination a that everyone should give efforts to make our university Pride and worthful.

However, by that time I had already secured admission to Jogomaya Devi College....Read More
