    Q:   Is it worth pursuing B.A. at Women's College, Calcutta?

    A: 
    {Source: B.A. students & alumni}

    Here's a summary of the key points discussed by students and alumni:

    Pros:

    * Good infrastructure, with facilities like Wi-Fi, laboratories, and a well-stocked library
    * Helpful and qualified professors who provide guidance and support
    * Opportunities to participate in curriculum activities, events, and sports
    * A welcoming environment and good medical facilities
    * Some students reported getting placed in reputed companies like Amazon (although this was not a regular occurrence)

    Cons:

    * No hostel facility available
    * Limited placement opportunities, especially for honours graduates
    * Poor Wi-Fi connectivity and limited use of modern technology in teaching
    * No internships or industry exposure during the course
    * Limited extra-curricular activities and events
    * Some students expressed dissatisfaction with the college's approach to education and felt it wasn't preparing them for the real world

    Overall:

    While Women's College, Calcutta has its strengths, particularly in terms of infrastructure and faculty, it seems to fall short in providing placement opportunities and industry exposure. Students who are interested in pursuing a B.A. degree may want to consider these factors before making a decision. With careful planning and preparation, however, students can still achieve success despite these limitations.

    Q:   Question: How is the course curriculum for B.A. at Women's College, Calcutta?

    A: 
    {Source: B.A. students & alumni}

    Course Curriculum at Women's College, Calcutta for B.A.

    The course curriculum at Women's College, Calcutta for B.A. does not seem to be overly emphasized upon by the students and alumni. However, some general observations can be made:

    * Syllabus coverage: Students mention that the faculty teaches each and every concept of the syllabus properly, and even conducts interactive classes to clarify doubts.
    * Teaching methods: Teachers use traditional methods such as textbooks and blackboard teaching, without much emphasis on modern technology or hands-on learning.
    * Relevance to industry: Some students express concerns that the curriculum may not be entirely industry-oriented, although others suggest that it prepares students for careers in related fields.

    It appears that the focus lies more on the academic rigor and foundation-building aspect, rather than explicitly preparing students for specific industries or careers. Nevertheless, the teaching quality and faculty support seem to be generally positive factors in the students' experience.

    Marvelous experience at Women's College Calcutta.
    Placements: There are no such notable placements offered by the college. The college should invite more schools and other institutions which recruit the students of literature as employees. Other than that, the college provides special classes for Government examination aspirants like NET, SET, WBCS, etc.
    Infrastructure: Excellent air conditioned classrooms with Wi-Fi connection and smart boards are available. The seminar hall is very useful. Development works are in progress. The library needs some serious upgrades. More books relevant to the curriculum should be included in the library. The college needs a good canteen. There's no hostel facility in the college. There are number of PG facilities available nearby.
    Faculty: The professors are all highly qualified and excellent teachers. They are very friendly in nature and are highly approachable. Each and everyone of them is thorough with their assigned syllabus. They provide extra classes and solve all the doubts with equal attention. None of the professors discriminate or disregard any student.

    I am satisfied with the college, and it is highly recommended.
    Placements: Many companies from every department field offer placements in our college. But placements after graduation in Honours are a bit difficult as compared to post-graduation courses. Most of our batchmates choose the teaching field in various institutions across the country. Other roles offered to students are speechwriter/travel writer/reviewer, public relation officer, arts administrator, communicator, writer, editor and researcher.
    Infrastructure: Our campus has facilities of Wi-Fi and a laboratory. It has good infrastructure, and medical facilities are also available. There is no hostel facility. The library has plenty of books, and students can easily access them, which is beneficial and really helpful.
    Faculty: Professors here are really highly qualified and very helpful. Their teaching quality is good. Semester exams are a bit tough, and students have to study hard. However, the professors will definitely clear doubts and will help you with the reference and study materials.

    Absolutely satisfied with everything.
    Placements: They arrange for placement programs, but there's hardly any placement in reputed companies. My course hardly offers any role in private companies, but with proper guidance, students can get government jobs after giving exams. This course mainly provides academic development.
    Infrastructure: The classrooms are neat and clean with air conditioning and proper ventilation. The library contains books of all subjects. There's a canteen of mid-level. Annual sports and games take place every year. Our college also takes part in intercollege competitions. It also provides good medical facilities.
    Faculty: The teachers of my department were very helpful and highly qualified for their assigned post. No, this course does not make students industry-ready but makes one highly confident with fluency in English. The semesters were very difficult to pass. It was really difficult to pass with a good percentage.
    Other: I chose this course because of my love for the English language, and this course really offers the best way to grow our knowledge of the English language and literature. Various fests, such as the annual fest, freshers party, and farewell party, used to take place. Seminars on different topics were also arranged based on our interests. It often provided the opportunity to grab different scholarships. Extracurricular activities like dance, music, art, and recitation were part of different cultural events.

    This college is under Calcutta University. It is a very good college and safe for girls.
    Placements: Almost 60% of the students got placed in this college for this course. There is no salary package system. It is a bachelor honors course of education, and internships are also not available here. Companies or job facilities are not available here. The scholarship system is available here.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connection is average. Classrooms are good, and all facilities are available for labs and the library. The canteen is very good, but I don't like food quality. Still, the price is much affordable and pocket-friendly for college students. Many small food stalls are available outside the college.
    Faculty: All teachers are very helpful. There are many curriculum activities and events like sports, NSS, annual programs and social work programs. Exams are very worth for students, and passing marks are very impressive. Teachers always guide us in every subject. Overall, everything is good.
    Other: Education is very easy and great for good marks.

    I am highly satisfied with the faculty members.
    Placements: Maximum students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered is 2 LPA. The top recruiting company is ABP Ananda. Maximum students got an internship from good companies. Journalist, anchor, news reporter and influencer are the top roles offered in this course.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, well-equipped classrooms, library and all the necessities are provided to us. They are all well-managed, and our college has a very welcoming environment. Faculty members and management are also very good to us. We have sports and games, and we also have good medical facilities.
    Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful. They passed on their wisdom and knowledge to us in the most gentle way. The teaching quality is very good, and teachers provide us with a very hospitable environment. The course curriculum is highly relevant, and it makes students industry-ready.
    Other: I have chosen this course because it has a quite creative field of work. It is unique in its own ways. This course is already the best for me, and nothing can make it better.

    My college experience was quite good. It was more comfortable than fun.
    Placements: Our college doesn't have an active placement cell though a few of our talented seniors from the English and journalism department got placed in Amazon in 2018-2019 with a salary of Rs. 15,000 per month. Amazon visited our college, but in the previous year, it didn't visit due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our college doesn't provide internships, but most of the students do internships on their own.
    Infrastructure: Our college doesn't have any hostel facility, but students can apply to Calcutta University for the hostel. Our college is sprawled over a pink-coloured five-storeyed building. Our college has two separate buildings, among which one is for PG on the front side, and the backside building is for UG. There is a common room, chemistry lab, computer room and a small gym on the ground floor of the PG building. There is also an elevator, but it can be used only by staff members. There is a canteen, but the food served in it is average. Wi-Fi is available, but it doesn't work mostly or works very poorly. In the UG building, there is an air-conditioned library and an office on the first floor. Our departmental classroom is on the ground floor, and an air-conditioned seminar hall is available on the third floor, where most of the seminars/classes are conducted.
    Faculty: All the teachers in our English department are very helpful, friendly, cooperative and highly qualified. Their teaching method is very blissful, and they are ready to resolve all queries anytime. There are not any engineering or management courses, so industrial basis training is not provided. Our college has B.Sc program in geography, economics and chemistry and B.A in English, Bengal, Hindi journalism, sociology, political science and history. But it doesn't have B.Com.
    Other: Our college doesn't organise any grand fest or event but organises a social event once a year at Girish Mancho and annual sports at Baghbazar field.
