Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com. Hons.) - Batch of 2027

Offered by City College, Kolkata

3.4

2Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Really good and helpful faculty and teaching staff but not very satisfied with the infrastructure.

Placements: There are not many placement opportunities. It's just study-based. Many students are unemployed after passing or are not happy with whatever they are doing currently for livelihood. In B.Com (H), scopes are high if only students know about that. It would be better if someone opts for CA or such courses after B.Com.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice. There are no hostel facilities even for girls. There are many hostels or PGs nearby for students' accommodation. The lab is quite nice and accessible along with the departmental library where we may get books related to courses. The canteen is also nice but prices are high there so we are less likely to use it.

Faculty: The college faculty is quite helpful. All teachers in our department are very knowledgeable and competent in teaching. They are also very supportive and personally helpful to students. Exams are held every 6 months. The difficulty level is not much. If one studies well they can easily ace exams.

The college is quite good, but there is always a scope for improvement, which can benefit all of us.

Placements: Heritage Law College does not offer direct placements, but they help us to connect with various law firms through internships and visits. It is actually quite helpful because through this we can actually get to know the fact that in every place the situation will be different and we should learn to handle that.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is quite good. We also get access to Wi-Fi and internet, tha classrooms are also mostly clean. The good thing is that we also get proper access to the library, which is very important for the law students. The hostels can be made much better same goes for the food, but we get much access to sport and games.

Faculty: The faculty of this college is not that appreciable. The teachers don't seem very much active in their teaching, it can be improvise, though we get 5-6 lectures in a week regarding our course. But the exams are quite good, the questions asked are quite relevant and practical based, which is a good thing.

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Excellent faculty, good placements, and an ideal for botany aspirants.

Placements: Around 60% of students from my batch are placed in various companies. The highest salary package offered by Biocon is 6.5 LPA. The average salary package offered is 4.5 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Maulana Azad College, Kolkata, provides excellent facilities and infrastructure for its students. For the Botany department, the facilities include well-equipped laboratories with modern instruments and equipment. Classrooms are spacious with smartboards and Wi-Fi connectivity. There is a vast library with a wide collection of books, journals, and e-resources. We also have a botanical garden for practical studies and research.Hostel facilities are available including clean and spacious rooms with attached bathrooms. There is a hygienic mess and canteen facilities with a variety of food options. Medical facilities are available, with a college hospital and a tie-up with nearby hospitals. There are sports and games facilities, including a playground, gymnasium, and indoor games room.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. Their teaching quality is excellent. Curriculum is relevant and industry-oriented. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Pass percentage is around 89-90%. Overall, a well-rounded Botany course prepares students for careers and higher studies.

Other: I chose Botany because of my fascination with plants and their importance in our ecosystem. I wanted to explore the intricacies of plant biology and contribute to the field of botanical research. The best things about my course are the hands-on experience in laboratories, the opportunity to work on research projects, and the expertise of the faculty members. Scope for Improvement: I wish there were more industrial collaborations and internship opportunities to provide students with practical experience in the field. Additionally, updating the curriculum to include recent advancements in plant biotechnology and genomics would enhance the course.

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.
