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 great interest in computers since my childhood, and that's why, I decided to join B. A Computer course, and I have listened that the computer course at bagnan college is very good. That's why I have joined this course at bagnan college.

Remarks:

Bagnan college is a very famous college in our area. So I decided to admit bagnan college. To admit to college they gave me a form to fill out and attached it with the 12th mark sheet and admit card. and need some personal documents like aadhar card and date of birth certificate. the process to admit to bagnan college is very good.

Placement Experience:

After completing the 4th semester and being admitted in the 5th semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, cognizant, etc. Visited the college. The average package is 2.5 lpa and the highest package is 5-6 LPA. Students get placements only on behave of their skills.

Remarks:

I got the application form from the official website. It was free of cost. There are reservation benefits for the reservation quotas. Nothing to improve, totally easy to understand the process of being admitted to a college or university.

Term exam was very much on time and they usually happened before the main yearly exams though now everything is a semester system. The difficulty was of average though few used to fail a lot the teachers were helpful. The faculty is so nice and also qualified in every sense.

The application form is available online and it cost around 200 plus as I remember I was a general category student though there were reservation benefits. Yes, it did not support online payment we had to visit the bank and paid the fees.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In talks of the statistics department, the faculty is not quite up to the mark .but every other department has good facilities and specialized faculties. but statistics is a relatively new brunch so they are making progress internal exams are quite easy to pass. but it's hard to carry marks in a semester due to the exhausting marking scheme of University of Calcutta.

Remarks:

I just filled out the form released after the higher secondary examination by college officials. Then just waited for them to publish the merit list. A reservation scholarship is available and it's quite good as there is no restriction on attendance. a playground is quite big.

4.7 /10

Course Curriculum Overview:

The student ratio of my department is obnoxiously high. 70 students in 1 class feel like a cow shed and serious steps must be taken in order to reduce the number of students. The faculty of the department is more or less qualified. Nearly every faculty member has completed their P.hd.

Remarks:

The admission is solely based on merit. Seats are reserved for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS, and are differently-abled. The application form and application fee are available on the college website. The admission process must not be based on merit, and entrance exams must be conducted

Course Curriculum Overview:

All of the professors are good at this college. All of them are well qualified and they have done their PhD from well-known institutes. They teach very well in an interactive way. They are very friendly and they also give guidance about higher studies. There are 2 exams per semester. One is internal and the other is the final semester exam. This college is not an autonomous one but it is under Calcutta university. Internal exams are easy but since it is under CU so final sem exam can be tough, it depends on the university of Calcutta.

Remarks:

Eligibility varies yearly. Above 80% marks on the board is enough to get admission. The application process, and fees, all are given on the official website. One needs to check the website regularly to get informed about the admission process. Semester fees will be somehow reduced for unreserved candidates.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum feels pretty much hectic at times to complete core course papers within 6 months, however, the practicals keep me glued to the subject. This provides me with hands-on experience and exploring the world of invisible beings just under 40X or 100X magnification seems pretty amazing to me. The student-teacher relationship is pretty friendly since we can discuss the most basic problems with our teachers. The teaching staff includes professors and associate professors holding a Phd degree, providing us easiest solutions to the most difficult problems. The examinations include only internals before the Semester exams and the syllabus if covered properly is pretty easy to pass. However, I personally feel more examinations on a monthly basis could be conducted.

Remarks:

The admission process is pretty simple, the forms need to be filled out from the college's official website which might charge a minimal amount of around 200-300 INR and the student details need to be filled in. The forms are pretty much available from mid-July onwards. Any class 10+2 pass out with a minimum percentage of around 60% with Science as their subject for class 12 can opt for this course.
