What students say about University of Calcutta


Likes

  • The University of Calcutta is one of the best government-aided universities in India, with the best faculty members, where students can gather knowledge regarding their subjects.
  • At the heart of Kolkata, there is a very good environment, good faculty and laboratories, quite good placement, excellent alumni networks, and a sports department.
  • There is also a separate placement committee that invites companies and tries their best to get as many students placed as possible.
  • No, I am not interested in a loan. But a scholarship is too good for me, and I have had a scholarship for 2 years. The SC/ST scholarship was good, and other students were happy with the scholarship.
  • There were sports facilities too. They had an annual sports day. There was a great library with a sitting capacity of more than 100 students. There were three labs with a capacity of 50 students each. There was also a great hall for seminars. Additionally, there were two computer labs.
  • I have no hostel because my hometown is Kolkata. However, the hostel infrastructure is good for all the students from other states. Students are happy with the hostel and also appreciate the university hostel which is also good. I am happy with the hostel and faculties.
  • This is the best college in Kolkata and one of the best in India for food and nutrition.

Dislike

  • Unfortunately, I dislike the course structure because it is not up-to-date. For instance, our department does not teach network systems. Additionally, currently trending subjects like Arduino and IoT are not included. However, once you reach the research level, the condition is not as bad.
  • Its just M.Sc. based, so there are no jobs or placements. Although some companies come, they only hire a few students, usually one or two. Our college does not provide internships. After M.Sc., you can also pursue a Ph.D. from here.
  • Merit cum means scholarships are provided for poor and meritorious students, enabling them to receive a stipend based on their fathers income. Additionally, poor students are granted either a half or full waiver of tuition fees. Financial constraints do not hinder access to education in this system.
  • Food is served twice and is done by external agencies, but its quality and quantity are not good.
  • Negative remarks on the useless canteen and the poor communication facilities as they are extremely bad.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have always been interested in literature that's why I chose this one. There are a total of 5 professors in our department and the total student is nearly 130. literature itself is a very difficult subject you have to give internal exams before giving the semester exam. You can pass internal exams quite easily but semester exams are hard to pass, you have to study yourself and collect more info then what your professors are giving.

Remarks:

There was no entrance exam but you have to score really well in your H S otherwise you won't get admission especially English department of Asutosh College is very famous. The faculty is very good professors are very much helpful. You can apply online on Asutosh College's online website, there are some reserved seats for OBC, SC and ST s

Placement Experience:

The placement of the college is quite good and impressive you will get more salary than expected and the highest salary received was 25 LPA. After getting the degree I won't sit for placement and will go for MBA.

Remarks:

The college conducted a small exam before admission which was purely for scholarship and thereafter the Candidate where shortlisted for an interview with the selection committee and the management. No benefit where given to non Gujarati or general students. The application process was through their website which was quite easy and simple.
