What Students Say

Likes

Close inclination towards nature through the campus.
Library needed more books for my course but it was all ok.
Seminars and events kept us busy and updated all throughout the year

Dislikes

Faculty should have been more supportive towards our academic needs.
Required solid infrastructure to stay in touch with what most colleges could generally offer.
Better amenities would have been better.

Course Curriculum Overview

I always wanted to study economics so I got into this college, the faculty to student ratio was 1:12. Our department was small when we had started in 2021.Now it has been renovated completely since our 2nd year. HOD had done his PhD in Environmental Economics, his teaching skills were quite good and handled the administrative workload concerning him,we also had to help him from time to time. Rest of the faculty kept of changing, except a few notable ones,most of the other teachers were good as well. Teaching was mostly done using boardwork and during covid times online classes used to happen long after they were properly regularised everywhere else. Term exams before the semesters were a breeze , if you had studied well , you would pass it flying colours.

Class Size: 12Course Fees: INR 3000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is designed in such a way that it would help the needy or the ones who would require financial aid. It is quite affordable and the college principal is also promising in terms of providing such accommodation.

Campus Life

There is a library with computers and internet access, the campus inside the college embraces the greenery of the nature around us, the environment inside the college can be compared with a park, it is maintained in such a way so that the students can relax and enjoy their leisure hours in between their classes. There are sports events arranged by the union members of the college, there are specific rooms for carrom and other board games, all under the union ofcourse. Amenities inside the classroom could be improved, although they are spacious, they require a lot of maintaining to be done as long as they are being used. The departments are of varying sizes and faculty members are friendly and helpful.

Admission

There was no entrance exam for BSc Economics, applicants should have Mathematics as one of their compulsory subjects from 10+2 irrespective of which stream they come from. They should have decent(or even pass marks would do) marks.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

Likes

I like the campus , it is quite huge and green , the canteen has both cooked and packed food available, a seperate common room for students and many sports equipment available. Several functions are arranged along with international conferences held
All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.

My experience as a student of Vijaygarh Jyotish Ray College

I liked the lab in this college that's why I chose this. Compared to other colleges this college had nice labs, had a good name, have had heard the faculty was nice hence chose this. In other colleges either the distance was a problem or the timing of the shifts. They post admission lists on the college official website. If you take admission based on your list you have to pay around 19k at first. If you wish to change your mind later, the college returns your money. I applied to Lady Brabourne College, Scottish Church College, Presidency University, Asutosh College out of many other colleges. I chose my college because of the lab and highly qualified faculty. Apart from that when the merit list was out in some of these colleges, I had already taken admission in my college. I didn't get any rejection. The issues were related to distance, lab, faculty or time of merit list. You are eligible based on your 10+2 results. All board exams are accepted. Cutoff 70%.
