Remarks

The college has a good name and receives awards from institutions such as times, but the education system is not good at all. Being a practical subject, we haven't been taken outside the classroom even once.

Course Curriculum Overview

1.5

The curriculum is not very well designed. And the college fails to provide us with proper education, the exams they conduct aren't serious. For documentary, we weren't taught anything and were left with everything to do on our own.

Placement Experience

1

The placement cell of our college is good only for BBA or Bcom students. Not one media company came for us media students. Companies like Wipro, omnifin, PWC, Decathlon etc came this year. The stipend was not more than 15k.

College Events

1

We have a college fest called Srijan, an annual fete called Shree, an annual program, sports day and many other departmental programmes. They are not big, and not many colleges participate except 2/3 common ones.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is pretty expensive. For example the mass communication students pay 11000 for a lab, in which no computer's work. Other departments are very expensive too, we have a sports sir who also teaches swimming.

Fees and Financial Aid

We do not have any such facilities, infact the fee we pay has to be paid in a day time. No prior warning is given. Thus, we either use loan or our parents pay for us. For anyone struggling to pay can avail education loans from banks.

Campus Life

2

We have a girl's College, but there are a lot of restrictions on the basis of appearance. The sports teacher is very good, but the participation is not good from the students side. During elections also, teachers choose the participants.

Alumni/Alumna

No, we have not been connected to any senior or alumni. There is no such effort from the college to hold an alumni function. No alumni or senior is helpful, as per my experience in our college. Therefore whatever I have done is through my own.

Admission

I applied and based on the marks i scored in my 12th standard, i got an admission. I wanted to do mass media, and shikshayatan was the only college in kolkata which was providing bachelor's in mass communication and not just journalism.

Faculty

1.5

The Head of department is very good, but other teachers do not come to take classes. One of our teacher has not taken even 5 classes the whole year. The HOD teaches good but is never on time, and doesn't follow a pattern.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I feel the theory part of our curriculum isn't much relevant or prepares for real - world applications, only some basic information is what I feel is necessary, although the lab and the practical part prepares us for real - world applications and teaches us a lot of things related to photography, news paper page building, survey report, etc. I believe they should have a better approach and teach more relevant real - world or in demand market skills which'll help the students in the future. Exams are conducted 2 times in a year, once between March - april, and second time between August - September.

Course Curriculum Overview:

From my childhood, I'm into music and this course allows me to further widen my knowledge of the entertainment industry, films, Television and etc. So this course will allow me to understand how media and journalism world works, and help me pursue the art that I love. The timings could be better of the college, but rather than that everything is mostly good. The frequency in my opinion, should be reduced to 3 main semester exams, and to have small mid semester exams throughout. That's my perspective.

Course Curriculum Overview:

1. I opted for this course because I thought it would have a good practical work, with good exposure and experience. But this course has nothing as such. The documentary we did was done all by ourselves. College did not help at all. There was a photo journalsm option in one paper but our college did not let us study that. They did not teach anything about photography, no practical training was given. 2. None. The curriculum doesn't prepare us for the real world at all. There is no professional study or activities. No preparation for interviews or real world jobs. Only theoretical and advices from our faculty. College doesn't provide any activity that can help us for the real world job. 3. More and more practical work with the help of college. More exposure needed. High quality software and equipments are needed. Students need a GOOD professional lab. More exciting activities for students. Placement opportunities, internships etc. 4. BAD. Per sem arrives in 2.5 months, too short time

Course Curriculum Overview:

Journalism is one of my favorite sudject . One of the reasons for choosing this subject is that only a journalist can highlight the good and bad aspects of our society before the people. The scope of the subject is journalism but it is huge. We can learn not only journalism but also photography, radio, film studies etc. The behaviors of all the professors in the journalism department in this college is very well. They very carefully explain all the topics thoroughly to the students so that the students do not have to face any difficulty with those topics later. Every year two semesters are taken every six months if the students do all the classes carefully and study well then they can easily pass by getting good marks
