Course Curriculum Overview

4

the program emphasizes core economic theories , mathematical techniques, and statistical methods. the inclusion of maths, stats, and econometrics helps in developing analytical and problem - solving skills, all of which are important for real world. there is exposure to various branches of economics. the curriculum integrates data analysis, evaluation, and case studies, which are useful in careers in academia, corporate sector, banking, etc. According to me the places to improve include: Update the curriculum with emerging topics Professors being a little more student friendly more practical exposure more research opportunities there are semester wise exams and due to covid we had to cover a lot in less time than usual. It is a difficult course but doable.

Admission

I had applied to and got confirmation from Xaviers College and Jadavpur University. I chose to go to Presidency Due to to its heritage and strong economics department and also due to its affordability. There is a competitive peer group and the location is a plus point. The eligibility reuires minimum of 60% in 10+2 for General category and 55% for SC/OBC/ST/PWD Maths has to be a mandatory subject ( for B,Sc Economics) THey accept admission through PUBDET though mine was direct admission due to COVID 19. The process of admission is to register for PUBDET then give the xam and then wait for merit list and finally if selected go for document verification. The cutoff ranges usually from 150 - 250.

Faculty

the faculty to student ratio is like 7:40 The faculties are approachable for academic queries. I really liked to study under Professor Mousumi Dutta in the Economics department. I liked her teaching because it was very systematic and easy to understand. I did not like a certain professor, I would not like to name him/her. There are semester wise exams as well as 2 small internal exams every semester and mid sem exams. In our batch there were a handful of students who failed certain semesters as it was quite difficult to pass these exams.

Night Life

4

The whole area itslef is not so safe. Inside the campus there is full safety but the college street area during night is preferabbly not safe for girls or boys to roam around alone at night. The hostel is just oustside the campus and the canteen is reallly good. There is no gym but there is a basketball court and volleyball court and a badminton room and table tennis room, as well as carrom. The boys hostel is close to the campus whereas the girls hostel is little far but the university provides bus services from girls to college and vice versa and schedules timings. the boys hostel has no time limit to enter or exit, but just an attendance register. Th girls hostel closes at around 8 to 10 pm at night and opens in the morning. The top places to hangout inside the college is the place called The Tank.And there were multiple places to eat and chill outside the college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I've always found economics to be really interesting and thats why I choose to persue it. I wanted to dive deep into the actual concepts and workings of the economy and understand how the world works from an economist's point of view. Sadly the curriculam doesnt bridge the gap between theory and real life. It focuses heavily on textbook and not how the world works.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would say the course is good but you have to opt for masters and PhD to get a good placement. After bsc there's not any placement. The curriculum was basically practical and theoretical based. But I think it should be more practical so that we can get a job after doing bsc. The teaching method was good I didn't have any problem with that. As it was under Calcutta University so the exam questions were too difficult, sometimes it came out of our syllabus , i think they should change this a little bit .

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.

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.
