The overall college is good for studying and only studying.

Placements: About 80% of students were placed in our course. The highest package offered in our course is 12 LPA, the average is around 6 LPA, and the lowest is around 4 LPA. Some top recruiting companies for our course are SBI, HDFC, ICICI Bank, Accenture, Infosys, and Nestle. 30-40% of students were placed in different companies such as Amul, HDFC, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course are quite decent and better. There is the availability of Wi-Fi connections, ACs, fans, better lighting, a supply of books and supplements, computer labs, and clean sanitary facilities. The overall infrastructure is fine and good. The facilities in the hostel are quite minimal. The infrastructure of the rooms is good, and the quality of food is fine—not so bad, not so good; it’s average. The availability of the canteen is provided with medical and sports and games too.

Faculty: The teachers here are very helpful. They are very well-qualified and knowledgeable in their respective subjects. This shows their teaching skills, which are quite appreciable. Yes, the course curriculum is very relevant since I’ve chosen it with my own choice and decision. That’s not sure that it makes the student industry-ready, but it could at least know some basics of it. In my opinion, the semester examinations are quite resilient and fine compared to our high school. The pass percentage is 32%.

Other: I chose this course since I am very interested in the fields of banking, finance, and business. The best thing about our course is that it is basically revolving around the reality of life and competitiveness. The things I wish would be better/improved about our course are that if there were an early facility of practical experiences, other than internships, given to the students, teaching them the real-life experience of working jobs and offices. Our college has a very bare minimum of events or any other extracurricular activities; it almost focuses on studies more than any other activities. Scholarships are available though.

Having the good days here.

Placements: In my class, we have 40 students, and there are 47 students in different sections. I haven't graduated yet, so I haven't got any offers. I'm still studying in the 2nd year. Flipkart, Axis Bank, and many other companies recruit from our college. Also, we get a 6-month internship when we reach the 6th semester, but if we have backlogs, we cannot get the internship.

Infrastructure: We have free internet access in labs, and we have e-library access. Also, we don't need to buy books for our semester; they are offered by our college for free. We have a medical partner near our college, and the food in our canteen is good, but it lacks a little hygiene.

Faculty: The teachers are very good. They're very friendly and helpful. Their teaching is also very good, but the equipment in our labs is a little outdated, which makes us a step behind in the competitive place. The semester exams are good, not hard; they are moderate. The pass percentage is like, out of 100, 80 percent of students will pass.

Other: The best thing about here is the food served on our orientation day, and also the Neerman fest, which is amazing.

Fully satisfied with our faculty, but not great campus placement.

Placements: There are no placements right now provided on our college campus, but it may improve as we grow. There are no companies that visit our college. However, there are internship opportunities provided by our college in other government or private sectors.

Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi available in our college. Labs are almost well-equipped. The classrooms are digital. The infrastructure of our college is good. The library has a good reading environment and is fully air-conditioned. Our hostel is very new; it was just inaugurated and started running last year. The mess food is quite good. There is a volleyball ground and a cricket ground on the campus. Currently, there are no medical facilities available.

Faculty: The teachers here are highly qualified, mostly Ph.D. holders, and have great knowledge about the subjects. The curriculum is very relevant and makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is 70%.

Other: The course I opted for opens various doors for me. There is an annual fest held every year in the college known as Technisia, which is a three-day program. The connectivity is very simple; just get to the auto stand, take an auto, and say the name of the college.

The quality of faculty is consistent, with many lacking the expertise or engagement.

Placements: Around 90. The highest was 25000, the lowest was 15000, and the average is 20000. Hetero Pharma, Sun Pharma Pharmacist, Research and Development Officer, Marketing Representative, and many more internships are provided to everyone in Sun Pharma or Hetero Pharma.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are not so bad, but they do not have AC, and the lab also does not have AC. But the faculty are top-notch and help us in all circumstances. The facilities of the hostel are good, but the food is not so good, and there is no playground on the campus.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are helpful, and they are qualified. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the students course-ready. They also become industry-ready as the practicals are much more important than the theory class. The semester exams are quite tough, and the pass percentage is 50%.

Other: I wanted to be a pharmacist; I wanted to study about medicine more broadly. The syllabus might be reduced, and it will help us a lot more. There are many college camps and cultural programs.

My university life in Girijananda Chowdhury University .

Placements: I'm doing a B.Pharma course. In my course, it is compulsory to get 65% in 12th. Many companies do come to GCU for placement. Top companies are Ajanta, Sun Pharma, etc. At least 55% of students get internships from our campus. In B.Pharma, there are many opportunities.

Faculty members are good. Infrastructure is developing day by day.

Placements: Placements are very rare. Earlier, they used to come a little. Now they are coming very less. Maybe placements will come in the next few years. Hoping that it will be solved. The training and placement cell is there in this college. They need to work on it to bring placements to this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure has been growing a lot for the past few years. It is getting better, and the infrastructure of the course is also good. The faculty is also good. The hostel has been built; the hostel is also new, and there are some problems in the hostel which will get resolved gradually.

Faculty: The faculty members are also very good; they teach well. They explain everything, clear doubts, and the exams are also held on time. There are some delays in the exam, but everything is fine. There are many fests and events in our college. Every year, these events are organized in a systematic way.

Other: Yes, the campus is big; there is space. There is a playground for us to roam around, do basketball, volleyball, and cricket. To be honest, there is nothing much to enjoy in campus life. We just have more time after class. There is no time after class, so campus life is not worth talking about.
