Dinabandhu Andrews College, Baishnabghata Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

My college has infrastructure that is decent but is not enough. The windows of the classroom are broken, bathroom taps are poor. There is no canteen. Students do not seem to be much encouraged to come to college because of this poor infrastructure.

On the contrary to infrastructure, the academics are really good. My department is one of the best in this city; not only mine, many other departments are also very good in this college in terms of academics. Classes are regular. Professors are very very helpful. I really enjoy the and learn a lot from my Professors.

In my subject, there is no placement involved as such. So it is not there in my college too. And I have not seen or heard any other department getting any placement from this college although I might be wrong.

Keeping the poor infrastructure but good academics in mind, I think studying in this college is worth it. Because at the end of the day it is the academics which make our career not the infrastructure. Also courses in this college are not at all eexpensive, so it is definitely a value for money considering the good quality learning.

I don't think that the campus is safe for ordinary students there, let alone being good. Most of the time the students of union are occupying in vague activities in the college campus. There was a recently a scandal in our campus that was done by those union members. Many were injured. The college is currently under police protection.

Overall I feel that if someone is aiming to have an amazing college life that is seen in movies, then this college is not for him/her. If the only thing you care about is learning and doing regular classes in an affordable package, then this college might be the best option.

No the college didn't have all the necessary infrastructure, facilities and equipment. The classroom was not so good as the fans and light didn't work properly. The benches were not of good quality. The library didn't have the sufficient books. The laboratories were moderate. There were not much sports equipment. The ground was not also well maintained. There was no wifi. There was no hostel for us to stay. The canteen was also closed.

English was my favourite subject so I wanted to do honours in English. Most of the teachers were good. They taught us in different manners. Some were very helpful. But there was some irregularities between them. The curriculum was updated and included the recent developments. The course I studied didn't make me job ready as it was a pure academic course.

There was no placement opportunities for honors student there. The courses provided there were only for academic purpose. I couldn't get a placement by studying English honors there. It had only added to my knowledge of learning English literature.

It cost us approximately Rs.2500 per semester including semester fees and college fees. There are many colleges under Calcutta University that offers better accomodation for the honors courses under the same amount of money. So I will not say that it was worth of my money.

My campus life was moderate. As my campus life was only of 2years as for Covid so it was for a short period of time. I made some friends and the environment was good. There were some activities like of debate and cultural fest and annual sports. Most of the teachers were good and supportive. The campus was located in a very good place and transportation was very much available there. There was hospital nearby so it can handle emergencies to a certain extent.

It was a moderate college. But the political system was very bad and the union caused trouble.
