Course Curriculum Overview

The course is really good. It's almost everything is about practical studies but I think CJMC need some improvement in this way. Research is also available here.

Internships Opportunities

Nope, it doesn't provide any internship. You have to do it with your own credits no other options available. If you can't do that you have no choice.

Placement Experience

0.5

No, it's a government institute they don't provide any placements. Yes though some of the private company gave the chance that is for very few students and not may companies visited actually.

College Events

3.5

Yes, events used to happen in here! Recently A documentary workshop held in here and then andInternational film festival happened in collaboration with SRFTI & FDI.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Actually, it's a self-financed and, I submitted about 25k at the time of admission. And now we have to submit 10k in every of four.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes, but for our department, it's only for the single girl child.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Nope, I'm not in the hostel. The hostel distribution structure is really very bad here. They don't care much about students. Students do share a room with 3 roomies. Yes, they have p.g. if you allotted for the hostel then you have to pay 500 for rooms and 3000 if you are a foreigner. And you have to pay 1600 for a 3 times food.

External Expense: Rs.7000 - Rs.10000

Faculty

3.5

One is Biplab Loho Choudhury who has dr. Degree. And Sanhita Chatterjee who is from Symbiosis Pune, also a good teacher. And the other two also done their m.phill.

VBU at a glance

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have chosen the course because it was my passion to serve for democracy being the fourth pillar of it. There were 4 faculty members in total and 40 students. The faculty members came from different universities. Our HOD Dr Mausumi Bhattacharya has completed her Post Doctoral fellowship from ICSSR. The exams were held twice a year based on the semester system. They were quite moderate.

Visva- Bharati a unique blend of culture and education

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is student-friendly. The students have access to the Mac Lab and Media Lab, there is also a departmental library. Though the infrastructure is not great, the faculty members still try their best to help the students in any way possible, by arranging many workshops and seminars. The focus is generally on developing academic and research aptitudes in students alongside helping them develop technical skills with limited facilities.

Best Institute in Town

Admission:

I got admission by giving the JET exams that happen every year. There was an interview round for which I was selected. I felt lucky enough to get shortlisted in the final admission list. There was a medical test which was taken by the institute later when the admission was granted.

Placement Experience:

The placement process is not that regular in our department but they guide us and accordingly, the student with good merit can achieve the required vacancy wherever they want. The Department promotes our works and ideas to the outer world and through which we get the strength to build our confidence. The Department basically stands as a backbone to our choices.

Admission:

The college holds its own entrance test. A merit list comes out of the students who qualify in the entrance exam on the college website. These students then have to go for the interview round which happens in the college campus. I got selected and gave the interview which went pretty good. Then I got a mail as the offer letter for admission into the college.

A Peaceful, Culturally Rich Journey at Visva-Bharati University

I chose VBU over other colleges because of its peaceful campus, strong language programmes and unique academic environment inspired by Rabindranath tagore's vision. I had also applied to JNU and EFLU, but after careful comparison I found VBU more aligned with my learning style and personal goals. The UNIVERSITY offers a more focused and supportive setting with smaller class sizes and close student-teacher interaction which is ideal for studying a language like Japanese. The admission process was conducted through the CUET( COMMON UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE TEST) . The eligibilty was 10+2 with a valid CUET score. For Japanese VBU considers marks of either ENGLISH or GENERAL TEST whichever you get higher marks in. I dont regret choosing VBU it was the right decision for my academic and personal development....Read More
