This college is good for learners, but placements are not offered here.

Placements: Placements are not provided in this college. This college is good for only B.Sc degree and learners, but the fee of semesters is low, so you can admit here. However, I suggest not to opt for this college for quick jobs. I suggest joining here only if you want B.Sc degree for further degree.

Review of Vivekananda College, Kolkata.

Placements: It is a degree college, so in the mainstream subjects, we don't have any kind of placement facilities. We have to apply for a master's degree in other colleges and universities, but it is a renowned college. In other colleges, we get low special care.

It is a very good college, and it provided us with many important things in our life.

Placements: The minimum of 30% of the student from our course got placed. Our college offered me a course at just Rs. 15,000 only. Many reputed companies visit our college for interviews, and many students get job offers in their companies. This course provided us with many good opportunities in my life.

Our college provides excellent placements and outstanding environment.

Placements: Almost 75% of the students get placed in our course. The highest salary package offered ranges from 7 LPA - 8 LPA. Abbott and Dr Reddy are the top recruiting companies of our course. Around 30-40% of the students got internships in Dr Reddy Lab as research persons and medical representatives.

It is one of the best colleges in the city.

Placements: Most of the students in our batch were not placed, and none of them got any job. Even those who got jobs also offered with very low salaries as they are getting a salary as less as Rs.15,000 per month. The placement cell doesn't take any responsibility for the placements of the students.

The Science departments are really good, Humanities and commerce department are not up to the mark.

Placements: There is no placement facilities available in this college. The students need to apply by themselves to off campuses interviews. The college does not provide any kind of help in this matter. The college runs some computer courses for students to apply for various jobs outside the campus.

The College with simplicity and warmth.

Placements: It is a college that offers graduation courses on a wide range of subjects and post-graduation courses on some, and since the subjects are non-technical, campusing or any placement drives are not very common in the college. However, some MNCs have visited the college quite a few times and have recruited some of her students in various job roles (e. g data entry associates).

It is a good college for physics in Kolkata.

Placements: Placement opportunities in our college are very low. As the courses are general type, i.e., not related to extra skill, so none of the companies visits the campus for placements. None of the students from our batch got placed. If you want a job after completing B.Sc., then don't take admission in our college. However, many students after B.Sc. got from physics and chemistry department admission in IITs. Almost 15 out of 30 students from our batch got admission in M.Sc. in IITs and Calcutta Unive...

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty, good placements and campus atmosphere.

Placements: Senior batches got opportunities in IITs sector, and others are studying in Viswabharati University, Jadavpur University etc. Only one student has got a job who is now doing M.Sc. in Viswabharati while campusing was going on. The salary offered to him was Rs. 50,000. Internships offered are also good.

I am absolutely satisfied because of the faculty members and atmosphere.

Placements: Placements in college are great. One of our seniors got a job in campus placements, and he was offered a salary of Rs. 60,000 per month. Two seniors ranked in CU exam, and one senior got a seat in IIT. A student got a seat in Ramakrishna Mission, and two seniors presented cryptography in Ramakrishna Mission College.

The college has really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: There are no such placements for degree courses. Students need to apply for higher studies, and only after that, one can get some placement offer. As this is a government college, there is a little chance of getting placements from college. Students have to apply for placements on their own.

This is the best science college in West Bengal.

Placements: No placement opportunities are provided for the students of the botany department. The college is affiliated to University of Calcutta. I heard from our seniors almost 10 years ago that the college used to provide placements, but they stopped offering placement opportunities now. They don't provide placement opportunities for the students of science departments. I don't know much about the commerce department and the arts department, but as per my knowledge, our college doesn't provide any place...

A college with an awesome infrastructure and faculty.

Placements: There were no placement opportunities as such, and the reason for the same is not known. I think the students don't have the skillsets that are required to get jobs in the domain of economics. M.Sc course or any masters degree might be mandatory, and it may be the minimum criterion for getting a job. There were no opportunities for internships too.

The students who want to learn something can choose this college.

Placements: It is unfortunate that our college failed to provide good placements for students. A very few companies visited our college to provide placements, and the average salary package offered to the placed students was not enough. Our college failed to provide internship opportunities for students.

Many students of our senior batches were offered internship opportunities from the college. The placement cell is well organised and works much efficiently.

Review of Vivekananda College, Kolkata.

Placements: Placement drives were conducted in our college, for the whole year. Reputed companies like Microsoft, Samsung, SalesForce, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Adobe, Visa, Ge Digital, PWC and many others visited the college and recruited students. They offered attractive packages ranging from 4 LPA-40 LPA. Few students opt for higher studies, so the placement percentage was not 100%. The average package offered for CSE students was 10 LPA-12 LPA, and it was 6 LPA to 8 LPA for IT students.
