Bethune - An Overview of the College.
Placements: We have 35 students in our class. We don't have placements offered to us in that way. I know there is a summer internship. There are a few internships and placements available for the Science batch, but I don’t really know the details.
Infrastructure: Our college has everything arranged for us. There is Wi-Fi, the labs are well-equipped and clean, the classrooms are nice, and the library has books, and it’s good. The hostel is quite nice, with good washrooms and good food managed by the students. Overall, it’s a good place to stay.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful, very professional but at the same time friendly and sweet. They understand the students and do their best to help all of us. They are knowledgeable yet very approachable. Yes, the course is absolutely relatable—it's about how our political system works. The exams seem difficult since it's under Calcutta University.
Other: I chose this course because I always had a love for Political Science. The course is beautiful, and I get to know about how our political system works and how things happen in different sectors of it. It’s fascinating and interesting, also because it has a lot of scope. Our college has a lot of events going on, but the main one is Alaap, the college fest, held in the month of December. The campus crowd is wonderful, and it’s a safe place.

Review of Bethune College.
Placements: Since it is a non-technical subject, there are no placements available for the students pursuing this subject. However, certain companies offer internships in roles such as content writing, marketing, human resource management, etc. but as for placements, there is no such availability.
Infrastructure: Since it is a heritage college, the building is quite old. Classrooms are of varied sizes depending on the number of students present in that particular course. Every department has its library, and the college has two libraries, one for the arts section and the other for the science section. Wi-Fi is not available. Labs are very clean and spacious. The college has a canteen which provides healthy food, and fast food is completely banned in the canteen. Quality of food is good. There is a medical room in case a student has an injury. The sports department is open to all and is closed only on Thursdays. Hostel facility is not available in college. Students have to arrange for their PG or hostel by themselves.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable and the best in their area of expertise. Teaching quality is very good. The course is curriculum relevant and also makes the students ready to face the industry. Students are also ready to become an active member of society.

Every student's thought - Dreams that got shattered and life that turned into disappointment.
Placements: I still am not much aware of the placements, but as I have heard from my seniors, the placements offered at the college are very low. Hardly any student gets recruited in any firm. Moreover, students need to go out in search of internships more because there is not much attention on this criterion.
Infrastructure: The hostel is good as it is new, having started from the year 2023, but the infrastructure of my course and faculty is horrible. There is no hygiene and cleanliness in the college. Being a women's college, there's a need for better hygiene and cleanliness.
Faculty: The faculty for my subject and other subjects is good. The only positive aspect of this college is that its teachers are helpful, available, and student-friendly. They are accessible to students at any time. The teaching quality is also 7.5 out of 10. Semester exams are difficult, and the pass percentage is average.
Other: I chose this course and college because of its A+ ranking in NIRF. However, upon entering the college, I found nothing special that separates this college from any other low-ranking institution. Despite being top-rated, many news channels visit the college, and many events occur, but the most frustrating part is the hygienic conditions. I have heard of many students getting dust allergies, infections, and more. Many girls cannot use the toilets as they are not cleaned regularly, seeming to be cleaned only once a year.

Absolutely satisfied with the college, and I will recommend it always.
Placements: We were made to sit for an entrance exam for TCS by the placement and career counselling cell. That is the only company that visited the college over for on-campus placements till now. If one is searching for a job, they should not depend on TCS because only 2-3 girls were selected out of an antidepressant batch of more than 200-300 people.
Infrastructure: Bethune College is the oldest women's college in Aisa and boasts of many famous professors present in Kolkata. By virtue of being under the state government, the buildings are well maintained and have an ideal ambience for a student of Andhra Pradesh to gain knowledge. We have extraordinarily rich libraries separately for science subjects and arts subjects. Some of the departments also have faculty and infrastructure for postgraduation. Wi-Fi, labs and classrooms all speak out their heritage as loudly as possible. There are no hostels presently, but one hostel is under construction. We pay around Rs. 72 per month as the college fee.
Faculty: The teachers are extraordinarily knowledgeable, friendly, kind and helpful. Around 5 students are under one teacher for tutorials where they get clarification of their doubts and extra care. We are given regular homework and provided with useful study material. The college in under Calcutta University.
Other: Our college fest is called Alaap. We enthusiastically participate in intercollegiate programmes and contests. The facility of Kanya Shree is available. The college campus is neat, hygienic and lush green. The canteen serves good food at low prices.

Satisfied with the college as it has good placements, faculty, and infrastructure.
Placements: Our college placement cell has invited tech giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Cognizant, as well as reputed firms like Netscribes for campus recruitment since 2017. Our students have cleared the placement assessments with flying colours.
Infrastructure: Our college has well-equipped laboratories for various science courses, statistics, and computer classes as well. The classrooms are spacious, and thanks to the well-maintenance of the heritage campus. We also have two separate libraries for the science and art students. Along with these, we have a sports room as well as a gymnastics room. The medical facilities are also available. Our college canteen is reputed for providing healthy meals at affordable prices.
Faculty: The professors at Bethune College are experienced and dedicated to academics. They endeavour at creating a comfortable atmosphere for students to bloom in. Our college is proud to have many meritorious students as its college professors. Our professors don't merely teach us the subjects that we've opted for, but give us life lessons that will help us in the long run.

ABOUT THE HERITAGE: BETHUNE COLLEGE, Kolkata.
Placements: Being a government college, the placement is not a subject to be raised for, yet we do have career counseling seminars and orientation that help the students choose their right career. On average, the salary of a student passing from Bethune College is expected to be 4 Lacs per annum. However, it still varies due to the list of skills and polished work you have within yourself.
Infrastructure: The hostel is well-furnished and has a high living lifestyle with spacious rooms and accommodation. But there are two negative reviews: one, it is located far away from the main campus even though college buses are there to bring students from college to hostel and hostel to college. Second, the mess food is not up to the mark.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful; they are highly qualified. Almost 70% of the teachers are Doctorates, and they have their own unique style of teaching. Our curriculum is based on the syllabus of Calcutta University, so we have to follow it as it is. But the teaching style and notes giving are very helpful. Students have to write lengthy paragraphs which I personally don't like because, after all, I don't think students need stress on theory more than practical to be industry-ready. The semester exams are quite difficult, to be honest. The papers are from Calcutta University, which is infamous for setting up the most critical papers. And though the passing percentage is less than 35%, I still think it is quite tough to pass even if you write full paragraphs.
Other: Political Science is a good course to study for civil service. After passing out, I'm going to study for civil service, hence I opted for this course. I hope the question pattern changes as time goes by because it is really unnecessary to write full-length paragraphs just to score a few marks. Our college hosts events and inter-college competitions every year. AALAP is the famous event held every year in winters. The campus is located on the proper route so every mode of transport is available. We also have scholarships provided by the West Bengal government like Kanyashree, Aikashree, and Oasis.
