University of Calcutta Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The university is considered as one of the best choice for scholars who wants to get knowledge from the best of the best professors and lecturers out there. The professors use even extra classes as much as students need to get them properly ready for the semester exams. They do take internal exams around 1 month before the main exam. It holds 10 point that is texted through MCQ. While another 10 marks is given as per the attendance percentage.

I love literature that's why I took up this course. This course is not limited to just literature, we also learn about history, philosophy, psychology and linguistics. This course has so much potential but all are wasted as nobody teaches us how to apply it in real life. There are no active journals in the department that we could publish our papers in. Hardly any seminars. We are not required to write a thesis of any kind. We are just not taught how to go forward with this. Our classrooms are big but that doesn't mean we would all sit in the same classroom in 40° C. We have separate sections but are told to sit in the same room. We also could use projectors. Semesters are reduced to trimesters. No time to study. And they don't want to give you marks, the highest cgpa you can get is 7.

I always loved English and literature, so the faculty and University really provided me with that effeciency with great effectiveness which influences me still to further my career in English . The difficulty is to be taken with care and seriousness. It is not at all an easy course as most people think it is. Literature in English is tough. You have to remain connected with various kind of books and read tons of articles and journals and research papers for good answers. Also take the notes of your lecture very well else it will affect your marks.

I chose Bachelor's in English since I wanted to pursue my career in research studies in literature. The overall faculty is good and all are dedicated to shaping the students' life. Since the faculty was dedicated it wasn't difficult to pass the exam.

English is my favorite subject and as I have done my bachelor's course in English, I was predestined to pursue further studies to know more about the subject and that is why I have undergone a master's degree in English. There were nearly 20 professors and approximately 200 students in our course. The teaching method was excellent and the professors were highly educated. The exam was on an internal basis i.e. 20+80 marks and it was much tough to get good marks.

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.

One of the best teachers in the country is here so there is no doubt that the best faculty is also here. The examination taken here is on time and it was quite difficult also but if you prepare accordingly it will be easy for you.

The faculty members are great. I think they are very experienced and the best in the business as far as I know them. The course is also great and quite appealing for students who wanted to become a teacher in the future.

Being a student of Bethune College which is affiliated to Calcutta University, I honestly felt more comfortable and secure. My university is a world within itself with an enormous library having books of all sorts. It is a vista of knowledge and experience. And since i had the required percentile, it was more than easy for me to opt for my university.

The only thing that Calcutta university needs to change is its sluggish nature. The students would appreciate if the official procedures are carried out a little faster and more diligently.
