Barsha Majumder 
B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication - Batch of 2024
Offered by Vivekananda College, Kolkata
3.8
3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
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.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty of the college. There are good placements inside the campus.
Placements: The placement cell of the college is very active. Out of 120 students, 80 students were placed from English honors last year in companies like TCS, KPMG, and Deloitte, but this doesn't mean there are high placements in our college every year. Around 80% of students are doing internships now from English courses, and I also did my internship at Maruti Suzuki, where I had to make a report on sales of the cars. Top roles offered include content writers, journalists, public relations officers, marketing executives, English teachers, etc.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are good for our department. We have ACs in all the classrooms, and also the classrooms are equipped with projects and microphones. We have Wi-Fi connection inside the campus, and we can access it through the password given by the college. We don't have a hostel, but the quality of food available in the canteen is superb. The prices are high, but the quality is good, and our canteen serves only veg food. Medical facilities are good, as all the floors of the college have first aid boxes. We have a sports arena in the college where we can play indoor games like chess, boxing, and ludo, and also we have a basketball court inside our college.
Faculty: The teachers of the college are really qualified and knowledgeable, and they are helpful too. The quality of teachers is better than in government colleges, and we have Google classrooms and WhatsApp groups; if we face any doubt, we just ask our professors there. The course curriculum is excellent as it provides analytical skills and deep knowledge to the students so that they can use it for their job interviews and can take part in extracurricular activities like debate, theater, etc. The semester exams are moderate, and one can clear it easily if he or she follows college notes. The pass percentage is 80-85%.
Other: I choose this course because I want to develop communication skills and analytical skills, and the best thing about my course is that it is comprehensive in nature and explores the historic period of literature through various poems, drama, and prose. I love my course, and everything is the best here. Umang is the biggest event of our college where several colleges take part through various events. One can get a scholarship if he or she maintains over 80% in the semesters through the government scheme.

The overall placements and infrastructure need improvement, but the faculty members are good.
Placements: Surendranath College does have a placement cell, but it is not yet fully developed. A few students manage to get placement offers from some of the companies visiting our campus. The salary packages that are offered to our students range from 1.5 to 3.5 LPAs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not good at all. The campus building is very old and dusty. The classrooms are also very small as compared to the number of students. We do not have Wi-Fi or any lab facilities. Also, we do not have any libraries on our campus.
Faculty: The only good thing about our college is its faculty and teaching staff. The teachers at our college are really helpful, and they try to cover the entire syllabus on time. They also help us solve our doubts. The course curriculum is also very good and informative.

Really good infrastructure facility. THK Jain is totally a worthy college to invest your years.
Placements: There are a total of 30 students in my batch. I am from the Journalism Hons Department. We have done workshops with Taaza TV and several other news houses. The placement rate is moderate, and the average pay is just as the current market payment. I like the faculty a lot because they are very helpful and treat us like family.
Infrastructure: The campus is very nice, very big. We have a canteen which serves good food at a reasonable price, computer labs, AV rooms, a studio, and also a voice-over room. We can also take a good walk around our ground. We have full centralized AC in our library and also an OPAC system.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified yet know how to give the best input, which can be understood by all. The different workshops make the students ready for the industry. Our Journalism department worked with different news houses, which gave the students a good view of the industry and also made them aware. The semester exams are fully logic-based. If you attend the lectures and crack the concepts, you can score well. Up to 80% CGPA is required.
Other: I chose this course, especially in this college, because I found it fully equipped with the things I really need, creating a good base for my upcoming career.

College provides quality education with placements.
Placements: Around 70% of students got placed in Tata Consultancy Service and Infosys. The salary package offered is 2 LPA - 3 LPA. About 40% of students got internships. Companies offered positions like Chartered Accountant, Banking, Business Analyst, Financial Analyst, and Human Resources.
Infrastructure: Library is fascinating with modern books and journal papers air-conditioned. Each room has a table and Wi-Fi. Lab is equipped with updated computers, smart screens, etc. Hostel fees are very expensive according to the general feel. Food quality in canteen is very good and up to the mark, and price is quite cheap.
Faculty: College is attached to national service Scheme to provide extracurricular activities for students. Teachers are amiable and highly qualified. It makes students industry-ready with modern technology and communication skills.
Other: I chose this degree because college is best for quality education in my city. Student-teacher communication is very helpful. It would be better if students are engaged in outdoor games.

This college needs a lot of improvement in its infrastructure and placement process.
Placements: Asutosh college does not have a proper placement cell. There is a placement team who sometimes organizes a few job fair, and a handful of students manage to get placement offers. But, the packages are not that great. The average package was 2 LPA while the highest package was 3.5 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus of Asutosh College is very old and dusty. The classrooms are very small as compared to the number of students in our batch. We have a few labs but most of the equipments are old. We do have a few sporting facilities in our college campus like cricket, football and volleyball.
Faculty: The teachers and other faculty members of Asutosh College are to some extent good. They have good knowledge about their subjects and also cover the syllabus on time. The course curriculum is also good and covers all the latest trends. The semester exams are a bit difficult, and you need to follow the classes properly to score good marks.
