Remarks

The Eligibility Criteria for reservation candidates were 50% and above in my University. The admission form was available on the University's official website. The cut-off for admission was a little lower than the candidates belonging to the general category. The admission process should be a little faster and more organized.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

I chose to do an M.A. in English Literature because I have always been very passionate about Literature. There were a total number of 15 Professors in our department and more than 50 students in each section. All the faculty members in my department were highly educated and possess P.HD degrees. We had a semester system with each semester occurring at an interval of 4 to 5b months. There are papers of 40 marks and an internal examination used to be taken before each semester. The standard of the papers was extremely high and it was pretty difficult to pass if one doesn't study meticulously.

Fees and Financial Aid

Since it was a government-aided university, fees were pretty low. And, in the third semester, Our University decided to wave off the fees because of the pandemic. My university doesn't offer any scholarships but they do accept govt. aided scholarship programmes and the process was pretty easy and hassle-free

Campus Life

3

University of Calcutta, College Street Campus is famous for its library and collection of books. There were a lot of rare books available in the library. The book return policy was a little difficult but otherwise, the library is beautifully adorned with rare books and journals. The Classrooms are pretty big and avail a mic system. I am not really aware of the sports and extracurricular side.

Placement Experience:

Most of the placements that took place at least for the literature departments ended up with people joining educational institutes and NGOs. Very few joined corporate enterprises like Accenture. But it does provide almost a 5 LPA, if well placed. It is academically rigorous, therefore academics are weighed more than industry.

Reviewed on Nov 24, 2024(Enrolled 2024)

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.
