What Students Say?

Likes

Professors Esita Sur and Pradipta Roy are the best teachers you could ever have.
We can submit our CVs to the placement cell officer, who provides us with suitable internships.

Dislikes

I feel that the revised structure is like a heavy burden. The syllabus remains the same (vast), and the time is decreased, so its very difficult to cope with.
There were scholarships for the needy students who were poor, but if they proved their need, they were given the scholarship facility.

Assessment of Kolkata's prestigious Scottish Church College

4.1Helpful

Likes

The discipline of this college is really breathtaking. They urge the students to attend classes in a disciplined manner
The professors are very helpful and resourceful and do not hesitate in helping their students in time of the student's need

Dislikes

They don't encourage the students enough in terms of sports and other activities.
The college is very strict with attendance. If you miss out college for one or two days, your attendance goes down a lot.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Scottish Church College has got one of the best faculty for English department. Their professors are highly qualified for their job, each with a fame of their own and since I wanted to continue my studies in English, i chose this college. The curriculum the college follows is the one set by the Calcutta University and it's a vast syllabus to be followed by the students and faculty members. The syllabus has got many important works which helps a student if they are willing to do a masters of art degree in English. But there's an area which needs to be improved which is the time given to complete the syllabus. The exams are quite difficult and lengthy based on time, 3 hrs is given to write a paper of 65 marks, which is quite sufficient on pen and paper but in the exam hall, it would feel like if only there was a little bit more time because the answers you write have to be lengthy to fit the 15 marks each question quota.

Review for Scottish Church College, Kolkata ( A prestigious institution and a place of incredible legacy)

4.0Helpful

Likes

Scottish Church College comes under one of the top colleges of Calcutta University. It is a very prestigious institution with age-old heritage and great infrastructure. Our college has one the most beautiful campus in Kolkata.
There are regular seminars and lectures from guest lecturers and professors from various colleges which enhances our skills and knowledge.

Dislikes

There are some minor things which can be improved. The organisation and management of different activities of the college can be done in a better way. In terms of placements, there should be more opportunities for the students.
Also the college should provide better internship programs for it's students .

Placement Experience:

The students of the 6th semester are eligible for campus placements. The placement cell started in 2004 and it has successfully provided placement to a large section of graduates over the years. Initially the companies are invited to take part in campus recruitment drive . Thereafter the interested students register with the placement cell and participate in the campus drive. Some of the major companies which visited in the session 2023-24 are TCS , Amazon, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd, British Telecom, Genpact, Crizac Pvt Ltd, Glenmark Life sciences Ltd, etc. In total 150 students sat for placements and more than 60% got placed. The highest package offered was 3 lakhs pa and the average package was 2 lakhs pa. A lot of students who opt for higher studies and research prefer not sitting for placements. I did not appear for placements as I have applied for further studies in Masters in other colleges.

Likes

The people are very friendly and helpful
The teachers are helpful and very experienced

Dislikes

The teachers mostly speak in the native language (Bengali)
The field is not a part of the main campus

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus for BSc. Microbiology Hons. was in line with my interests. Few topics like virology, bacteriology, and diversity of the microbial workd are what drew my attention to pick this course. Although there are some portions which one would consider "boring", but I believe every subject has its interesting as well as boring portions. It's seems fair to judge a subject by seeing if the "boring" portions outweigh the "interesting" parts or not.

Likes

The environment of the college, the teaching and non teaching staffs,
The field of the college, exercise equipments and gym

Dislikes

No annual program or fest where everyone can gather
Sometimes the behaviour of the non teaching staffs are not very much satisfactory

Course Curriculum Overview:

In terms of relevance and comprehensiveness of the course curriculum, my rating is solid 4.1 out of 5. Because it offers a variety of courses like compulsory english, environmental science, constitution values of India, Inter Disciplinary Courses where one can opt for a variety of subjects which change along with the course proceeds or semester changes. Not only that two major papers and one minor paper are present throughout the semester. As a student we should be well aware of our country and its law as well as how we can keep our environment healthy followed by sustainable development.

The seniors idk why are not very interactive

Course Curriculum Overview:

Microbiology is a blooming subject although it would be fair to say that you would get a better job if you pursue your profession career abroad (UK USA)but with the upcoming of various biotechnological startups the demand of microbiologists is increasing at a farely high rate.You can pursue your career in the food industry and quality check industry with very high paying jobs Microbiology is a practical based subject and during your 4 year course you'll be taught the several methods of culturing bacteria ,viral assay and so many more real life technique So basically the 4 year degree is bsc microbiology consists of 8 semester .Each semester is of 6 months each until and unless some very genuine problem arises.Though the difficulty of the university exams is not that high but the checking is very strict.you must be thorough with your syllabus and be in touch with the subject and the syllabus .if you're consistent you will score good

They do throw light on plethora of career opportunities through different seminars and programmes. Placement cell is active and good. Students mostly have good inputs about it. The college environment is supportive and you'll easily mix in the crowd and be a part of the family
