Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College Rahara Kolkata, B.Sc {Hons.}, Physics

Reviewed on Jul 30, 2019

Remarks

The college has been rated 8th by NIRF which in itself says much. There are negative remarks except by some that its not co-ed and is boys only. It is a very famed college in entire west bengal and its an honour to be a student of this institution

Course Curriculum Overview

The Course curriculum is Semester based. The B.Sc course has 6 semesters , 2 in each year. Every semester has 2 exams, mid semester and end semester exams. The final marks are a total of mid sem marks(10),theory attendance(5) , practical attendance(5), practical exams(30), end semester(50).

Placement Experience

3.5

Medium to Big companies do give job opportunities to the college students. Every year about 10% students clear JAM and join IIT for M.Sc which is a really good score. Internship exists but is very limited for top students.

College Events

3.5

Every year, there is a freshers welcome function which is not at all like other colleges . Instead of partying and hanging out with friends , some learned man comes for a speech and there is a cultural program. In addition there are programs like Vivekanand's birthday and republic day that are celebrated. However , i will not recommend attending these as they are really boring unless you like cultural programs

Fee Structure And Facilities

1st sem:12500+1000(exam fee) 2nd,4th,6th sem : 1500 + 1000(exam fee) 3rd,5th sem : 10000+1000(exam fee). Since the college is autonomous, the fee is a bit higher than government colleges . However it is much less than private colleges and is highly affordable

Fees and Financial Aid

There are no loan facilities in the college but there are many scholarships, especially for students from government board(state board). Scholarships range from fees waiver to free books as well as meritorious students are even paid by the college

Campus Life

There is a annual sports meet in the college. There is no sports ground in the campus but there are 3 belonging to Ramakrishna mission in the locality which we are free to go to. Cricket or football kit can be taken from college by submitting the ID card. Lab is extremely well cared and all instruments are of top notch quality.

Alumni/Alumna

The seniors are really helpful to our cause. They help us understand the exam pattern. They also help us out if there is some issue. The alumni network is also good. There is no ragging and the environment is very peaceful

Faculty

4.5

The Physics and chemistry department are one of the best. Maths and computer science are not very good. The college got an all india NIRF ranking of 8th and 1st in entire west bengal. The teachers are really helpful and knowledgeable , atleast in my department.

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.

Our college doesn't provide hostel facilities
Our college doesn't provide campus requirement drive

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.
