University of Calcutta Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The course is a little bit huge due to the vast syllabus of the MSc curriculum, but the faculty is great they are really helpful and very gentle and works with the student our teacher provided us with notes and materials, and classes were taken accordingly so overall it has a great faculty member.

I chose Physics only because I love it. In our department, there are 21 professors against 76 students. Most of the professors have PhD in Physics from renowned insititutes from India and abroad too. Some have even Postdoc from very reputed institutes globally. They are actively doing research in their respective fields. The medium of teaching is mostly english. One gets 2 weeks of break before every semester exam. If one follows the classes regularly, then it is not hard to pass the exam.

I chose this course because I loved the subject. The faculty is thought not permanent, but knowledgeable and friendly. I had like 4-5 teachers and we were a class of 50. The teachers helped a lot through out the course. The term exams are easy enough if you attend the classes regularly.

Well, exams are taken on time like like 6 monthly intervals. Semester exam occurs, No chance of cheating. Question pattern is fluent. Questions are standard and you have to study a bit harder to achieve good marks.

Since the courses offered by the college are not professional, very few companies come for placements. Mostly, research scholarships are offered to some students who are scientific and good with academics. 3-4% of students get placed. Companies that come for placements are oracle, Infosys, etc. Nat Geo Wild and other such platforms also appear to give students a chance to choose such careers. I am doing M.Sc in Zoology currently.

I want to be a professor in Botany so I did choose Msc and I have to pursue Ph.D. to be a professor. In our college botany seats for postgraduate student is very limited. We had around 22 students and we had 5 professors of botany. So our student-faculty ratio was very good. It is 4-5 students for one professor. Our professors were very much educated and were willing to teach us deeply. They took both online classes and offline practical classes. They were very open-minded and used to do interactive PowerPoint presentations in the classes. We had four semesters. And in every semester we had to pass all the papers. However, there is an internal assessment test before every semester

The reason why I decided to join the Scottish Church College is it's one of a kind education facility and easy commuting methods. The college is situated near the hedua park, Vivekananda road, which allows a smooth commute to college on daily basis. The college is situated in a very well-managed location and offers one of the best facilities on campus.
