Best faculty members and a good environment. But placement is low.

Placements: Science department of BESC is so good. But, there is a low chance of on-campus job roles, as it is under CU, so students can only have some small internships.

Infrastructure: Course structure and infrastructure of college are top-notch. Classrooms have air conditioners and we have best library in BESC. Every. The campus is well-decorated.

Faculty: Teachers are so helpful. From them, students can learn more about the subject beyond your syllabus. Course is under Calcutta University, so it is quite tough. But teachers give their best in teaching. Semester exams are quite tough, and you need to study well to pass.

Other: If students want a great college life with a good campus and events, besides gaining good knowledge, they can go for it.

The closest thing to a "Student of the year" College.

Placements: The placement record of this college is not bad. About half of the students get placed, with the highest package being around 13 lakhs and the average package being around 7 lakhs. Top recruiters include TCS, Indigo, and Axis Bank. However, most students who major in Physics do so to pursue higher studies, so internships are not very common.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities at this college are excellent, by which I mean they are top of the class. The classrooms and laboratories have the latest furniture and equipment, and everything is perfectly maintained. The library is a figurative sea of books in numerous categories, ranging from film-making and music theory to philosophy and nuclear physics. While the college does not provide a hostel, it does provide contact information for PGs of all price ranges for non-day boarders.

Faculty: The teachers at this college are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in their fields. However, the teaching medium is supposed to be English, but most teachers transition into Bengali, which makes it difficult for some students to understand. The syllabus is essential to the course, starting with the basics that we learned in 11th and 12th grade. The semester exams are fairly easy if you attend class regularly and review the material for about 10 minutes after class.

Other: I chose this course as a means to higher education only. The best thing about this course is that it is a low effort high rewards course. The things I would improve were the basics; in the first couple of months we were spoonfed what we had already learnt in school. This college would have been considered a club if it were not for the literal lecture halls. This college is stacked with events and fests. Campus crowd is cooperative as well. Connectivity is also excellent as it has a metro station and bus stop in vicinity. If you are an enthusiastic person, you can expect to be loaded with extracurricular activities.

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.

The harsh reality of such a good college.

Placements: Placements offered at our college are generally in tele-calling, chat support, and sales. The average salary package offered is 10k-15k per month. Companies like Mpokket, Bharat Matrimony, and Tele Performance visit our college. The job roles are not relevant with our respective course. So, the placements are not at all good.

Infrastructure: There is no hostel facility available. College building is pretty old, it keeps on getting renovated. There is a playground. Our college has gaming equipment like badminton and football. There is a carrom in the common room, which mostly stays dirty.

Faculty: Recently, add-on courses have been added after the NAAC visit, but we have to pay extra for them. For economics, there is only one senior professor, and the rest are junior professors. The timetable is not well-organized. We have to go to college, attend just one class, and then return home.

Other: Since it is a government college, the fees are reasonable, but they are still higher compare to other government colleges.

It offers one of the best student lives, as long as we are in Science or Arts.

Placements: The highest salary package from my senior batch was around 20 LPA at DeShaw, likely for an HR or Software Development role. The average salary package offered is around 5 LPA-7 LPA. There are many recruiters, from L&T to Axis Bank. The placement cell is very active and helpful, although it is filled with stringent regulations.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is top-notch, old but classic, and durable. Labs are modern and well-equipped. Our college houses one of the oldest libraries in the zone, and it is very much worth visiting. One could easily find themselves lost in the library but don't worry, as there is always someone like-minded nearby to help or guide us.

Faculty: Faculty members are very professional. Semesters become more difficult as the course progresses, particularly from the second year onwards. The course curriculum is relevant, yet it feels a bit backdated at times. However, if we trust the process, everything falls into place with time. Students are industry-ready by the end of this course, though there could be more improvements in this area.

Other: There's always something going on—an event, seminar, or sports league. There's something for everyone here, with various clubs ranging from social work to sports and from business to public speaking. Fests are amazing, with a great lineup every year. It's located on Park Street, surrounded by limitless pubs and cafes, so the after-college vibe is lively. The best thing about this course is my peers, who are more excellent than me, creating a very competitive yet helpful environment.

Absolutely dissatisfied due of absence of proper placement cell.

Placements: Unlike other colleges, there is no proper placement cell available in our college. We are expected to reach out to various companies on our own. However, sometimes our college organizes some job fairs where we might get some job offers; however, the salary offered there is significantly low.

Infrastructure: We do not have very good infrastructure in our college. There is no Wi-Fi on the campus, and most of the computers in our lab are very old and do not even work properly. But our classrooms are very decent and clean. We do not have our own hostel, and there is a small library inside our campus.

Faculty: The teachers who teach in our college are good and helpful. They try to teach us in a good manner. However, sometimes they rush to complete the syllabus, and many topics are left untouched. The course curriculum is good. The semester exams are not very hard, and you can easily score good marks by studying a bit.
