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.

A review of the college by a 1st semester student.

Placements: 70% of the students were placed as of my knowledge. I didn't know about the lowest but the highest package was 20 LPA. The placements were good, as I am told by the seniors. As I am a semester 1 student, I don't have extensive knowledge about the placements.

All about my college experiences .

Placements: I am currently pursuing English honours. I don't have knowledge about the companies which recruit from our college. But recently Senco Gold came for the recruitment. Recently a summer internship is also going on for those who are not willing to continue after the 2nd semester.

College is great but the university under which the college is recognised is horrible.

Placements: I have very less idea about the placements and job opportunities given by our college. But as much as I know our college is surely not known for the best placements and jobs and the same things to be said for internships as well. I don't even have a specific idea about what kind of role our course will prepare me for.

The college is good for learners but not for placements.

Placements: This is a normal graduate college. That's why the placements are not provided in this college. This college is good for B.Sc. degree. The semester fee is very low. However, I suggest not opting for this college for placements. I suggest joining here only if you want B.Sc. degree.

Our college is value for money.

Placements: Some hand-counted students got placed after pursuing B.Com (Hons). The lowest salary offered is Rs. 14,000 per month, and the highest salary offered is Rs. 30,000 per month. TCS and other local companies visit the college for placements. Only 15-20% of students from our course got internships from companies like TCS and Avalanche. The top roles offered in our course are accountant and bookkeeper.

A way to a better life in future.

Placements: 60% students were placed in this college. You have to go for M.A. after graduation in order to get a highly paid and reputed job. This college helps a lot in framing you future. I would definitely recommend to my fellow juniors to join here and lead a happy life in future.

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 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...

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...

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.

The infrastructure and facilities are good.

Placements: Placement interviews are organised by the placement cell of the college. Many students from the previous year batch and even passed out students got placed in renowned companies last year. Many students of our senior batches were offered internship opportunities from the college. The placement cell is well organised and works much efficiently. In the last couple of years, many renowned companies like Cognizant, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services, ITC, HCL, and Dabur, etc., have conducted placement...

The college is average, but the infrastructure is great with lively campus life.

Placements: The placements of this college are not good enough. No reputed companies came here in the last few years to place the students in good jobs. Only ordinary companies visit the campus, and they provide jobs of BPO, call centres, etc. No commerce-related companies visit the campus nowadays.

I really had unforgettable friends in the college.

Placements: Normally, the college is good, but chemistry department is not much. Normally, after chemistry in B.Sc., the students do M.Sc. or go to higher studies for a better prospect. I also try to follow this because there is no good job in the industry during bachelor course.
