Offered by South Calcutta Girls' College

Decent government-sponsored college under a budget but has drawbacks, especially regarding placement
Placements: There were good placements a year or two back, but now they don't really provide placements. However, the faculty will suggest where to apply and will guide you, but most of us pursued/will pursue higher studies. Most students clear their papers as the teachers provide you with plenty of notes.
Infrastructure: We have good Wi-Fi connectivity. Classrooms are decent with proper benches and a blackboard. There is an auditorium on the 3rd floor and a snart room on the same floor as well. The library is well stocked, and e-resources are available too. There is only one lift, and students aren't permitted to use it unless for certain cases.
Faculty: Pass percentage is about 90 percent. Most teachers are sufficiently qualified and are quite resourceful with their teaching. Adequate notes are provided, and extra classes are also offered to students if required (both online and offline modes). The curriculum is set by the university, so it prepares you for further studies very well.
Other: A yearly college fest is arranged called 'Bahar’, but it has sprung up very recently. Social events are also done, and sometimes the department personally may take you on an outing, which I'm sure you will enjoy a lot.

Excellent faculty, industry-relevant curriculum, and supportive environment.
Placements: In my course, there are 400 students in B.A. Eng (Hons). In my course, the college has promised us an average package of 5 L. P. A and 7 L. P. A as the highest package. Tata Consultancy Services is one of the highest recruiting firms. On average, 4 out of 5 students from our college get internships with good packages.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are air-conditioned and equipped with modern teaching aids like projectors and smartboards, which provide a seamless experience. The laboratories are well-equipped and are up-to-date. The college also ensures Wi-Fi connectivity, which has moderate speed, which sometimes is consistent during peak hours. In our college canteen, we get veg food, which is fairly priced and tastes average.
Faculty: The teachers at our college are highly knowledgeable, qualified, and approachable. They use modern teaching methods such as presentations to make the class more engaging. Our course and curriculum are well designed and regularly updated and make the students industry-ready by including not only giving theoretical knowledge but practical exposure which shapes the students well enough for their upcoming challenges.

Offered by Surendranath College

3Placements2Infrastructure4Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money
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.

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.

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.
