Review of Visva Bharati University Chemistry Department

The Physical Chemistry faculties are the best I got, that influenced me to carry forward my research carrier in Physical Chemistry. The curriculum for the Physical and Inorganic chemistry are upto the mark and I felt improvement in teaching style and curriculum is required for Organic Chemistry part. The difficulty of Internal examination can be improved a bit.

There are few central internship opportunities present. There should be more internship opportunities from the institute itself, so that the students get a good quality exposure of what is happening all over the world science. More student seminars etc, so that the students get more research and job opportunities.

I paid 9000 yearwise on average. Now this price have increased, which I think should be reduced. I don't remember the fees details, but I have provided an average price. The fees for the reserved category were okay, but for general the fees seemed a bit higher.

The facilities were good. Since it's a culturally rich place, there is a vast opportunity for cultural practices. Moreover, there is a good opportunity for sports also. Student run social groups can be developed more there like IITs.

New hostels were good, but the old hostels need renovation. Meal qualities in few boys hostels need improvement. The hostel fees of old hostels seemed overrated to me. The local PG and rooms are good and available in affordable price.

I admitted to a college under Burdwan University and I got an opportunity in Jadavpur University and Ramkrishna Mission, Belur and finally I opted to study chemistry in Visva Bharati University. I actually chose this college as this was nearer to my hometown. I thought later that I could have carried out my Computer Science study in Belur Ramkrishna Mission. I got admitted to Visva Bharati by marks comparison and I got chance in Ramkrishna Mission Belur by taking Admission test.

Since it is a central university, the faculty to student ratio is standard. There are many good faculties in this institute. In our times, there are few notable good faculties from each branch of the chemistry department, to be specific, Prof. Pranab Sarkar, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Bag of Physical Chemistry, Prof. Alakananda Hazra of Organic Chemistry and Prof. Asim K Das, Dr. Motin Seikh of Inorganic chemistry department. The course curriculum are good. The level of the examination are relatively on easier side what I felt.

Since the campus was within the Bolpur city, the life outside the classroom is very down to earth and students mix well with the society people very closely. There are many hangout places throughout the campus, like Amrakunja, Melar math and Gour prangan.
