Infrastructure: There was a very good Wi-Fi system for our course. There were three classrooms and four labs in our college, where we used to do our various experiments. In addition to that, the library was allocated. We get food in our hostel, and there were sports and various equipment, which we used regularly.
Faculty: Our university had one of the most qualified teachers in India. They have always treated us like friends and tried to teach us well. This course is practical-oriented as well as relevant. This course certainly prepares students for art in a very good way.

Satisfied with the faculty, moderately good infrastructure. In 2017, the placements are bad.
Placements: This institution gives me a lot and learns to me how can I did excellent scores as well as to be a good man also. Most of the students from our chemistry department got a valuable job like at Haldia Petro Chemical Limited, Infotech, teaching at central board school, state government school, etc., and most of the students worked already on state government research.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility is available at our chemistry laboratory, which helped us to solve many questions and also help to find some artificial data, which are not available in books. Our laboratory is look like modern and easily to use every matter that what I want. Our classrooms are not bad but not modified. We have large reading room at a library, which is covered by the air-conditioner. Sports faculty at our college is excellent. They participate in an inter-college competition, and many times they have won.
Faculty: Firstly, it should be noted that a teacher should behave like a friend, which makes a great interaction between students and teacher. our teachers behaved like what I want to say it. Most of the teachers are PhD holder, and some teachers are post-doc holders with PhD.
Other: Our college organises Nabin Boron fest, in which, the best cultural activities are conducted for the newbies. The most famous event is the social fest in which we enjoy a lot with our friends.

Jadavpur University is a place, which is deserved by all and reached by a few.
Placements: 2-3 companies including Asian Paints and Sun Pharma had come to offer job opportunities, and more than 25 students among 36 got selected. There is an active placement cell that arranges for all streams of science. The average salary offered is 2.6 lac/year. The professors are helpful and help the students to find their desired position in the industrial sector.
Infrastructure: Gallery type classrooms, departmental and central Library offering five book cards with an advanced digital library for downloading books, accessing journals, etc., are free of cost are available on the campus. The central library also offers books to ex-students for the next two years. Well-planned and clean laboratory with almost all chemicals available with satisfactory safety precautions. Both indoor and outdoor games are organised throughout the year. Overall, there are 7 hostels for both boys and girls. Large rooms with four beds and comparatively smaller for a two-bed facility with free broadband connection for each student in hostels are available. Both tasty vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals in the hostel are prepared by experienced cooks with meal charge around Rs. 1,500 per month depending on situations. Good medical support staff and an ambulance for 24*7 are always ready for the students. There are four commercial canteens on the campus.
Faculty: All the professors are highly qualified as they are PhD holders with accreditation worldwide. They have a profound knowledge of practical skills and sound methodology for classes. The course is large like other universities but semester system in 6 months help the students complete it with lesser pressure. But still, it is on students how he will prepare for exams as questions are not easy to handle. The student to faculty ratio is 10:1 for UG courses. Detailed syllabus is enough for cracking JAM, NET, or GATE in future.
Other: Silent campus, flowering gardens, transparent ponds with lotus give you the feeling like "yes, that I wanted". A photographic club, mountaineering group, science club, drama and art association are a part of student life. Jadavpur railway station is just 2 minutes walk from campus, and 8B bus stand is beside JU. DST-INSPIRE, Swami Vivekananda merit means are most of the scholarships and alumni association and chemistry department. They provide scholarships for financially weak students with merit.

A great place full of life and activities
Placements: Science faculty at Jadavpur University doesn't have campus placements in Bachelors. No culture of field projects or internships as well. Students mostly pursue a masters degree after the bachelors there or opt for bank jobs via competitive exams on their own.
Infrastructure: Classrooms were spacious, old-school architecture. Labs were updated with chemicals but not completely digitised. Medical facilities were sufficient. The library was central and departmental. The central library was huge and departmental libraries were well-stocked. Great culture of games and other extracurricular in the university as a whole. Hostel rooms were average. Canteens were 7-8 and provided a wide price as well as menu range. No infrastructural issues.
Faculty: Faculty members were senior, well-versed and helpful. No industry exposure. Basic classroom teaching methods and lab-based practicals were conducted. The course curriculum was useful but needs a little more incorporation of new developments in science. Labs were extensive and gave a lot of basic ideas.
