Likes

The first thing that I liked about this college was its discipline. Everything was so perfect.
The second thing was its ambience. The surrounding was so serene.
The third was there was no tyranny of any students union. Because there wasn't any.

Dislikes

The first thing I disliked was that the college charged too much without any proper feedback.
The second thing was that the students complaints held no value. It was just for show.
The third thing was there were more cultural events than there were actual studying.

Student Snaps:

Course Curriculum Overview:

My decision to choose this course depended on the fact that this course provides you with the opportunity to get various jobs in the industries with a high lpa. But this college does not help much in that aspect. All I had to do was myself. It is my humble opinion that the institution should improve its guidance in the area of its teaching methods. The exams were twice a year and were quite difficult on their own.

The laboratory infrastucture is very good as this college offers good quality instruments and chemicals.

Dislikes

This college will not support any placement or intership.
College will not provide new project activity but they will offer review article.
Course curriculum is not properly aligned with university curriculum.

The course curriculum is very vast and completely aligned with the CSIR-NET exam. The pattern of exams and questions is mostly the same. The course curriculum can be improved with some technology-based knowledge. The frequency of exams is 2 exams in a year.

Calcutta University has an active placement cell that plays a crucial role in securing jobs for students. Companies like EXL, Genpact, Infosis regularly visit campus for requirement and the average package offered to students is around 6-6.5 LPA. I have plan, go for Ph. D. or some specialized courses after completing my M.Sc. course.

Overall the campus environment is also soo good.

Dislikes

Heavy workload is the one. Like balancing exams,assignemnts projects etc..
Like every college, the 75% attendence policy.
And the fee also. I felt its quite expensive.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I need to work in organization , so i choose this Msc corporate psychology course. The curriculum is quite good. We can learn more about organization how it works ,culture etc.. Teaching method can be improved by teaching the students more about practically than theoritically.

Strict guidelines towards all activities, you can’t do anything without any permission.
You can’t go outside of college campus without any proper permission with a valid reason.

Our college provide on campus placement for some technical courses like computer science, statistics, chemistry. Company like TCS, Wipro , PWC, InfoSys visit for computer Science. As our college has less no of student in a particular course so 90 percent of students get placed. May be I will go for higher stydes.

First of all let me tell you that the students life here is nice because we have do everything here with together like study,go for college,playing cricket or football,eating all of this thing.
Suppose there is a problem then we solve those problem together,we take care of each other in our happiness time or or in our bad time,that's bring happiness in this college campus life.If there any financial problem we support each other.
There is a main advantage of this college is college time and fixed class period everyday.You must have to come for class in college and must attend the college everyday.Teachers are good and collaborative with their character and their performance.

Dislikes

There is so much restriction in our college like eat ,study or playing football,cricket,volleyball at a particular time.Going for bed at a particaular time.Wake up at a fixed time and going on to same rules for everyday.
There is a restriction about prayer that is not a good for all time because you have to go prayer for everyday evening and morning,for winter season that is huge probelm for most of the students.
For residential there is a problem for go to home because you are able to go home at the weekend and others day there must be a particular reason which is approved by principal,Head of the department and from the hostel.
