    Good placement, internships, great teaching faculty and campus.
    Placements: There is a good amount of around a hundred students in B.A. Journalism Honors and B.A. Journalism Multidisciplinary combined. The college gives out internships in a fair amount, especially more from this year since internships are mandatory. The students get internships from companies like News 18 Bangla, TV9 Bangla, ABP, etc.
    Infrastructure: The college has impressive computer labs, neat and clean large classrooms. The library provides a wide extensive range of books that are very useful. The college also has a huge playground, a games room, and a rock climbing wall which are student favorites. The canteen provides fresh hot food that is sold at a low rate for the students' ease.
    Faculty: The teachers are all qualified and very knowledgeable. Some of them are also very strict, which comes off as ultimately being helpful later in life. The teachers do take out time to personally help students if the students need it. The B.A. course is very relevant as it does make you industry-ready because each and every one of the students comes out with internship experience that was provided by the college.
    Other: I chose this course as there are more career options present in this course and the subject itself is so captivating and interesting. The thing I wish would be better about my course is Fieldwork. I wish we get more experience with the Fieldwork that is very much needed in this course. The college hosts a winter event called "Social" every year where artists like Sonu Nigam and KK have come and performed. The college also provides good scholarship programs.

    I would recommend joining this college.
    Placements: Our college provides placements in many companies. They offer good placements for eligible students. Students are eligible for placements after 5th semester.
    Infrastructure: We have labs with high Wi-Fi connections. Many libraries are available in different blocks, which are sufficient for students' needs. The food served in the canteen is good. Our college has a sports room and a huge playground. The hostel is not available on our campus.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They provide us with good notes and demonstrate as well as they can. They conduct lab classes that help us in understanding. They also conduct campus placements. They help us during our semester exams and assignments. They provide a healthy circumstance for students.
    Other: Our college conducts football and cricket tournaments. Students must score 60% to apply to any honor subjects in our college.

    Vivekananda College: Presidency College of South Kolkata.
    Placements: There are 30% to 40% of students placed in my course in different media houses. The students basically do internships, and that is yearly 60,000 Rs. Top recruitment is from various small media houses and online platforms. Very few percentages of students got internships from my course, and the companies are also small. The top role is either to do higher studies or join a media house.
    Infrastructure: Our classrooms have Wi-Fi, the lab is fully AC, Wi-Fi, smart gadgets, multimedia player, board, duster. The library is full of books, so many books that you don’t have to buy from other shops. This college doesn’t provide a hostel, but you can get various PGs beside the college. The canteen is overpriced, and the cook is average. The college has a cricket and a football team.
    Faculty: Teachers are always there to help, well-learned, well-maintained, qualified, and knowledgeable. This course is not so much curriculum-relevant. Students have to do 2–3 internships to be industry-ready. Semester exams are not very hard. You have to go to a different college to give the exam.
    Other: I chose the course because I wanted to be a journalist. The best thing is this course has so much fieldwork, which is very important for the next work life. This college has many more events: Freshers, Teachers' Day, Farewell, government holidays, and various fairs that happen in the college. Students can get the Vivekananda Scholarship if they score 60% in the past exams.

    The college is average but is a value for money.
    Placements: The college does not have any structured placement cell, though TCS and Indiablooms came for the recruitment. When it comes to internships, the college doesn't provide such opportunities to students. This is one area where our college needs to improve on.
    Infrastructure: As far as the infrastructure is concerned, it is quite good. It has modern facilities like a computer lab, a studio and a library. Classrooms are equipped with projectors. One drawback is that the college doesn't provide Wi-Fi connectivity to the students. The food available in the canteen is not hygienic.
    Faculty: All the faculty members are very co-operative, especially Mr. Arnab Kumar Banerjee. The frequent guest lectures gave me an immense exposure and helped me to understand the industry in a better way. Seminars are also a part of the curriculum. The department of journalism and mass communication also published a journal which is taken care of by students.

    Our college facilities are up to the mark.
    Placements: In our course, journalism and mass communication, students mainly those who are interested in this course were highly ambitious for media. Our college arranges many workshops for students' betterment of their ongoing course. Students get internship offers in 2nd year from top companies like Reliance, SBI, and top media groups.
    Infrastructure: Our department is good. Wi-Fi facility is available only for college purposes. Labs are good and equipped with the latest version of upgrade systems. Our college provides many mess facilities available for students. The food served in the mess is good. The canteen food rate is minimal.
    Faculty: Our department teachers are highly qualified, friendly, and helpful. They share a lot of experiences with us. They solve all the problems and clear all the doubts. Our college does not provide any such books related to our course. The college taught us every important thing that we should know when we pursue graduation in this field.
    Other: Our course, journalism and mass communication is interesting, it covers many things of all other subjects that exist in this world. Our college is good.

    As per my knowledge, there is no hostel facility in Vivekananda College though there must be a PG or private hostel near the college. You can go and have a look once.
