    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is spacious. Classrooms are spacious and clean with desks. A proper mic and speaker are placed. Our classrooms have big windows and air conditioners. Our library is also spacious, and it includes fiction and non-fiction books. A separate reading room is also there. Medical facilities are available in our college. There is a sister who takes care of you when you are sick. They supply medicine if it is needed and bandages if you are injured or something.
    Faculty: Faculty members in our college are professional and friendly. They are very helpful and caring. They take care of each student in case of study or personal problems. They are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The way of teaching is also good and ethical. Our semester examinations are not difficult because if you study well, you can achieve good marks. Now our college is autonomous.
    Other: I chose this course because I love to read books and literature. I want to study literature and the history of literature and so our course is teaching us the history of literature and how it came to our life. Events and fests happen regularly in our college which is good for curricular activities. The main event of Solution College Siliguri is innovation which takes place in March.

    The college has good faculty and environment. The location is very good.
    Placements: In my course, 30% of students were placed. The highest salary offered was 80,000 per month, the lowest was 15,000 per month, and the average salary was 20,000 per month. Around 25% of students got internship.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is good. The labs are well-equipped, the classrooms are decent, and the library is big. However, there is no Wi-Fi. The hostel rooms are good enough, and the food is okay. The quality of the food in the mess and canteen is not so bad. The medical facilities are decent, but the sports and games are not so good.
    Faculty: The teachers at this college are highly qualified and experienced. They are knowledgeable and helpful. The semester examinations are quite hard. The pass percentage is only 25% to 30%.
    Other: I chose this course randomly, but I think it turned out to be a good choice. I especially like the literature component of the course. However, I think the syllabus distribution system could be improved. Overall, though, everything is good.

    Overall, good environment but teachers are negligent.
    Placements: No placement was offered, and no companies visited the English department. I don't think any companies would visit to offer placements to students because of college's poor infrastructure. Even if any companies did visit, they would offer very low packages, which I would say poor packages.
    Infrastructure: There is availability of Wi-Fi only in canteen and computer lab. Classrooms are average (a little dirty though). There is a library in the college where students can find any material related to the study of their subject. The food quality is average, sometimes they cook well and sometimes bad.
    Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful and understanding while some are not at all. Teachers are knowledgeable. My only complaint is that some teachers teach only in Bengali and not in Hindi or English, which is very difficult to understand for non-Bengali community. Course curriculum is relevant but doesn't make students industry-ready. Teachers have basic knowledge of the subject matters, thanks to the introduction of NEP. I don't know the pass percentage, I think it is around 70%. Semester exams are easy and can be passed with regular study.
    Other: I chose this course so that I can apply for B.Ed program to become a teacher. The best thing about our course is that I get to meet people of different ethnicities and interact with them as this college is a multiregional college. Teachers would be more interactive with students. College organizes grand freshers and social events every year, which is probably the best in Siliguri. Students gather together to celebrate the event and artists are invited to perform live in our college. College is very crowded during the events. Students can participate in different extracurricular activities, which include cricket, football, volleyball, and badminton. College gives opportunities to everyone to participate in it.

    The college offers great quality education.
    Placements: There are no placements in our college. As discussed earlier, there are no placements in our college. Only 1-2% recruitments are there in the college. No roles have been offered till now in our college. The college should focus on placements.
    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for the course and the department include Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms and a library. The quality is great in terms of food, canteen, medical facilities, sports and games. The college is known for its quality education.
    Faculty: The teachers are helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is also nice. The course is relevant. The students are not getting ready for the industry. The semester exams are difficult because it is deeply connected with more practicals. 70-80% is the passing percentage.
    Other: I have chosen B.A. in History Honours because it perfectly suits my interest. There are a lot of fest and events going on in our college.
