    I am satisfied with this college.
    Placements: Recruiting companies for our course are TCS, etc. Placements happen every year and companies visit the college to recruit students for different positions. However, not many students get placed every year. Overall, the recruitment percentage is not that high but still, it is appreciable.
    Infrastructure: There are well-equipped labs, projectors in many classrooms, and a well-stocked departmental library. The library even has some of the expensive foreign books and students can take them for reference and can even get a printout of them. Hostel rooms are of high quality with an all-time Wi-Fi connection.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and friendly. The teaching quality is really nice. Practical classes conducted by the teachers are really informative and helpful. The most important thing is that the teachers are well-approachable to the students. Semester exams are moderately tough.

    It has really good infrastructure and facilities.
    Placements: Almost 40-50% of students get placement here. Mainly students of chemistry and industrial chemistry get placed in many industries. The average salary offered in our course ranges from Rs. 30,000-40,000. ACC, Ambuja, etc., are the top recruiting companies for our course. Management-related roles are mainly offered by the companies.
    Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is overall good. Our college has smart classrooms, strong Wi-Fi, and labs full of new instruments. Hostel rooms are not so good. Hostel food is not so good. The canteen, sports room, etc., are available. A playground is far from the college.
    Faculty: Teachers are also very helpful. They are qualified from many top institutes in India and also knowledgeable. Other faculty members are also helpful. There are 2 semester exams in a year. Students are satisfied with the system. Semester exams are moderate.
    Other: The college campus is beautifully decorated. The scholarship system is organised by the college authority itself.

    Good faculty but very bad placement procedure.
    Placements: Our college lacks a proper placement cell and procedure. Sometimes, a few job fairs are organized by our college, but only a few of our students are able to get any placement offer from there. The highest salary you can expect is 2 to 2.5 LPA. It is better to apply for off-campus jobs.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not so great. The building is old and dusty. The classrooms are small and clumsy. Labs are there, but they lack a few important chemicals. We don't have a library on our campus. There is no hostel in our college, but we have a decent canteen behind our college.
    Faculty: The curriculum of our course is really good as it follows the latest syllabus of Calcutta University. The faculty members are also good, but sometimes they are rude to the students. The semester exams in our college are not too hard, but you need to study thoroughly.

    Absolutely satisfied because of this college & this department.
    Placements: 90% of students get placement through this course. I can't say the highest package, but if you do an M.Sc. from a good institute, you will get more than 20 LPA. Top companies are Tata, Amazon, and Microsoft. If you have 60% marks, you will get SVCM. If you get more than 90%, you will also get a scholarship.
    Infrastructure: Ashutosh College is a very good college in Kolkata. Their facilities and infrastructure are also very good. The statistics department has its own lab with more than 30 computers. The classrooms are also neat and clean. Students can take books from the college library. They have free Wi-Fi for students. Those who are not from Kolkata can easily find a hostel. The college has a very good canteen. You can eat everything from here, and the food quality is very good.
    Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. They teach us very well. Yes, it makes students industry-ready. There are a total of 8 semesters in 4 years. The semester exams are quite tough. If you get 30% marks in the theory exam and 30% marks in the practical exam, you will pass the paper.
    Other: This course has a bright future. The best thing about this course is that it is related to real life. Adding some more programming languages, this course will be awesome. Events, fests, etc., are a part of the college, and if you are from Ashutosh College, you don't need to worry about anything.

    Satisfied with the infrastructure and faculty.
    Placements: There are a lot of paid and free internships and workshops. The class strength is not overwhelming. The internship courses are optional. The workshops are enriching. Science fairs are also held occasionally. Art exhibitions are also a place where students can sell their products.
    Infrastructure: The science labs are well-equipped with functional machines and instruments. The labs are not congested and are distinctive for different departments. Food in the canteen is of good quality according to the affordable price. There is an emergency medical room. The sports and cultural clubs are active.
    Faculty: There are regular class tests to check academic progress. The teachers are approachable and knowledgeable. Critical concepts are taught with care. Pass percentage is 75%. There are ability enhancement and skill enhancement courses. Also, there are certificate language courses like Spanish and French.
    Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in life sciences. The college departments hold freshers and farewell parties every year, although the fest is not regular.

    I will not say it's very good or very bad, it's average.
    Placements: Percentage of placement is very very low. We even don't know that anyone of our seniors get placement. As no placement, we don't know about any top recruitment company. Even we don't know anything that any internship was done for us. About placement there is not a good hope.
    Infrastructure: I don't take hostel, so I don't know, but our infrastructure of department is average. Machines are useful but laboratory lacks proper ventilation. Canteen facility in college is not good. Sports and gaming was organised. Students also participated on the events.
    Faculty: Teachers are average. Some are very good, sincere but others are very casual. Regular classes was not taken properly. There is zero responsibility to complete syllabus. We actually have 5% theory classes. Practical classes are taken carefully but sometimes delay was also seen. There is no regular classes but question of semester is too much difficult.
