Pros and Cons for Kalyani Mahavidyalaya

Lab Infrastructure:- In the microbiology department, it is well equipped with spectrophotometer, autoclave, hot air oven, centrifuge etc. It has separate laminar room also. It is fully air-conditioned. Classroom facilities:- Classes are conducted by the presentation. Teachers are very helpful. Library facilities:- the college has a fully digitised central library with a lot of books and journals. Our department also has a departmental library.

This course has good future prospects. It has a good career for higher research. Also, many industries require eminent microbiologists. So I opted for this course. Faculty: students ratio is approximately 1:8 which is I think too good for this level of study. Some faculties have PhD degree and also NET qualified and few have MSc degree and industry experience also. They teach well and use presentations which is a quite good initiative for modern-day studies. Term exams are kept in a timely manner and its difficulty level is average i.e., not too easy or not too difficult.

No on-campus placement is available there. But students especially in Microbiology, Molecular biology and biotechnology are able to take off-campus jobs in pharmaceutical sectors, brewery industry, health industry etc. I have a plan to do higher studies in my subject.

Fees hike doesn't happen generally for ongoing batches. They gave us an extra discount on lab fees in this lockdown. Admission fee in B.Sc Honours microbiology is 16945/- and per semester fee is approximately 10000/-. The college has no scholarships but it has some facilities for a tuition fee reduction. I got the SVMCM scholarship from govt of West Bengal. So I'm not eligible for this. On-campus job doesn't happen at college.

Annual fest generally organized in the month of January or February. It is quite good. And it is organised by the students union. All kind of books and journals are available at the library. And also the library is fully digitised. Classrooms have a chair, table, benches, projectors, white board and markers. It also has good lights and fans and few have ACs also. NCC and NSS are optional for the students. And annual sports occurs once a year. There are a few cultural groups but not so active.
