What Students Say?

Likes

The teachers are very helpful and solve each and every doubt without any hesitation. The practicals are done under proper supervision and they are great.
Wipro and Techno, many projects are upcoming, such as the campaign to eradicate poverty and seminars to welcome cheetahs in the Alipore Zoological Garden.

Dislikes

If you want to study and pursue a masters degree after your bachelors, then the professors will give a glowing recommendation.
There is very little politics in the college, and ragging is not allowed there, not that it is done there

Bethune college from a student's perspective

3.8Helpful

Likes

The professors have a good teaching experience and they complete the syllabus in time. The college has two big libraries that contain all the books needed for every subject. The professors ensure that all students understand the matter and score well
The campus is huge with a great canteen service. The canteen food is affordable and tasty as well. They offer both veg and non veg options. Sports day events, inter and intra college competitions are also organised. Annual function is also organised.

Dislikes

The administrative work takes a long time. Sometimes the professors cancel the classes without any prior information. Some professors just read out of a ppt or a book. They are not super helpful or flexible when it comes to a student's need.
The campus is not super hygienic. There's dust on the desks and it felt like the bathrooms never got cleaned. The lifts don't work 70% of the time and you need to climb 200 stairs for every other class as they take place in different buildings/floor.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placements from semester 5. A few local companies conducted placement drives in our college but they failed to grasp our attention as they were offering salary on the basis of performance and weren't clear about their job profile. TCS was the biggest company that invited students from our college for job opportunities in 2023. The salary package was low ranging from 4 to 5LPA. Most of the students preferred continuing with their studies as they wanted to become counsellors or clinical psychologists because these professions offer a better pay and more perks (independent nature of work, ability to provide better help to people etc).

Likes

The infrastructure is really well built and spacious
Faculty is helpful and respectful to students

Dislikes

The canteen is quite small to hold the crowd during lunch
Some washrooms are unuseable due to the unhygienic conditions

Course Curriculum Overview:

Firstly a government institution is always better because it's highly affordable and carries benefits for future reference Secondly about Bethune it's already a prestigious institution under CU so it's not that easy to get in If you have the chance to study here take my advice get admission here Exams are conducted with great security they questions are made with the knowledge given to us so if you can study well then good for you

The campus is so beautiful and a calm place to focus on studies. The whole campus is full of trees and also well maintained.
There are several buildings where each building contains 3-4 departments, a big auditorium, different libraries for science and arts subjects.

Dislikes

Libraries need an upgradation with new launched books which might help the students with their semester studies otherwise there are a lot of good old and high-level books

Course Curriculum Overview:

Our semester wise course curriculum was very good as compared other universities as our curriculum contains more content and sufficient for our knowledge. There are pure as well as applied part of mathematics, students can observe, research and can choose their field on interests for their higher studies.

The psychology department is the leading department of the college. Teachers are polite and excellent in their field. We have 3 labs in the department and enough inttuments.
We have a strict anti-ragging cell. Other than ragging we have right to complain against any type of harassment by faculty members. We have departmental libraries, archives, Science & arts library also.

Dislikes

The bathrooms are not clean and lack maintenance and water.
The lift in the psychology department is not working for 6-7 months but no one repaired it. It's problematic for pwd students, teachers and who have emergencies.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The reputation of the college, and reviews from senior students influenced me to take admission to Bethune college. The college environment changed me a lot, my personality got improved, I got to know more about life, my perspective about life developed. I think demonstration method should be introduced it improves the teaching. The exam timings got affected for the election's and questions were bit intellectual but helped to improve writing skill.

The faculty, the teachers, the campus, and some gem of books in the Library MAINLY
The affordability a 100 times! Imagine a good studious atmosphere with teachers interested in teaching and always there for you just 1800/- a year!!!

Dislikes

The cultural side could have been a little more flourished it is not like it DOES NOT HAVE but it could have been better
The campus life is a little dry there so being an outgoing person I feel a little dull but a good friend group is all it takes though:)(it might be heaven for you if you're an introvert)

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm BA psychology and I love my course here!! The faculty especially is really dedicated and in terms of practicality it's very up to date with then labs and instruments if you are interested in that. Even though maintanence is a slight issue there as it is a government college there is issues with the maintanence but to be honest the faculty makes up for it

The behaviour of teachers and their cooperation
The cooperative and helpful non teaching staff

Dislikes

The college campus is not cleaned regularly. It is a big campus but it should be cleaned atleast weekly.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum offered with the course is appropriate and shapes u for ur future job prospects. Teaching methods are perfect as per the curriculum suggested . I personally chose the course for my keen interest in the field. Others might have different reasons as to some might like to help people in distress while others would watch out for the present statistics of the growth of job prospects in this specific field. The exams are quite difficult because of the fact that the college is affiliated with the Calcutta University and the university is known for its difficulty level although the difficulty level is certainly worth it

Behaviour of my professors, classmates and serious.
Lots of availability of books in the library.

Dislikes

Unhygienic and uncleaned washrooms facilities.
Canteen food quality is not up to the mark.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The only thing that influenced me to choose psychology was the period of lockdown. My whole family was affected by coronavirus. I had no one standing by my side. That was the time when I came to realise that how much it's important to give priority to mental health. Also collegedunia itself helped me a lot in choosing my college ,i.e., Bethune college by giving me all the informations about it. Rest I have no complaints about my college's curriculum and teaching methods in my field BSC psychology honours.

Green Campus with a variety of medicinal plants along with their name plates.
Presence of zero ragging. A total anti-ragging college.

Dislikes

Hygiene needs to improved quite a bit especially the bathrooms being a girls college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Developed lab work and field trips along with excursions are included in the Curriculum. Also faculty members are from highly qualified fields in particular degrees. Teaching methods of most of them are quite impressive and student friendly. The level of examinations are quite challenging but also good for the development of the students more rigidly in their particular fields. Not to forget has a huge and green campus.

I like the faculty members. One does not need any coaching from the outside.
I like the atmosphere in the college and library . It is very student friendly

Dislikes

The college premises does not have an area for sports .
The toilets are not cleaned and not maintained

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course for my passion in trees and biology . There are 7 professors and some qualified guest lecturers. They all are highly qualified. DBT star college scheme is also there in the department. Students capacity for 1st semester is 36 for this department. Teachers are very helpful and audio visual teaching method is there in the class. Teachers use projector and presentation for a topic There are two semesters in every year conducted by University of Calcutta . But teachers take internal test exams before that and the questions are very easy to write .

Faculty members, the campus life , my classmates, laboratory and the canteen.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I had heard that the faculty members of the physics department at Bethune College are excellent and after entering the department I realized that it was true. We have 7 professors. They are mind-blowing. Their teaching methods, and guidance especially in our lab everything were overwhelming. Our teachers encouraged us for extracurricular activities as well.
