Admission: The teachers here mostly have Ph.Ds and know a lot about their subjects. They like teaching in Bengali. The syllabus isn't too big and is very practical. The study materials given by the teachers are good enough no need for private tutors. In the last year, we have to do two projects: one on biodiversity and another as a dissertation.
Placement: I didn't see any job placements for undergrads at this college. Most students aim for further studies to get better-paying jobs. Internships aren't required for undergrads, but if you want one, you'll have to find it on your own.
Campus: The campus has Wi-Fi, with 35 MB data limit. But in some areas, the limit is 1 GB. There are labs for chemistry, bio-chemistry, micro-biology, genetics, and computers. In the library, you can borrow up to two books for a week. If you're late, it's Rs.2 per day. Hostel options are available for girls and boys, with Wi-Fi. They serve breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. Be back in the hostel before 7 pm.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They know their stuff and are really helpful. They make sure we understand everything. If you need extra help, they're there for you. There's only 6 students for every teacher, so you get lots of attention. I think the teachers are the best part of this college.
Placement: Getting a job after graduating in these subjects isn't a piece of cake. But if you pursue higher studies, you'll land great opportunities in top companies. The college has a placement cell that helps students secure internships. Even those pursuing PhDs here get good job offers with high salaries. Overall, it's a good place to kickstart your career.
Campus: The college has Wi-Fi on campus, which is cool. The canteen serves good food. The teachers are experienced and helpful. The library and labs are top-notch. The hostels are okay, but could use some improvement in quality. Great place for students!

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful and always available when we need them. Most of them have doctorates, so they're super qualified. We have smart classrooms, but there are too few teachers for the number of students. It would be better if we had more teachers. We don't get much real-world experience in industries right now. But the courses are interesting and practical, which is cool.
Placement: I love how this college helps us get placements to study abroad. We also get to work in the lab on campus. Plus, companies hire students from here if they like our CVs. I heard the lowest salary offered is Rs. 22,000. And the college also treats Thalassemia patients every other weekday. It's really cool to see all the opportunities here!
Campus: Wi-Fi is available all over campus. Each department has its own lab. The library is huge and there's an e-library too. We've got a seminar hall, classrooms building, labs building, and a separate building for M.Sc students. The canteen serves momos, parathas, and more. And don't forget about the fun games like badminton and cricket that happen every year!

Admission: The teachers at this college are really great. They know their stuff and are always ready to help. Their way of teaching is top-notch compared to other colleges in India. The lab facilities here are amazing too. Plus, the number of students in each class is low, so everyone gets attention. The course content is really good too. That's what I love most about this college.
Placement: There aren't many job placements available at this college. Companies visit occasionally to recruit students, but it's not very frequent. However, many students who graduate from here end up getting accepted into top colleges and universities for further studies. A lot of students also aim for jobs like lab assistant or research fellowship after they finish their studies.
Campus: The classrooms are nice at this college. The campus has Wi-Fi everywhere which is great. The library is full of books and resources. They even have an e-lab for bioinformatics. Plus, there's a computer lab too. The food in the canteen and the hostel are just okay.

Admission: The best thing about IGE is the faculty and the course content. We have great teachers who teach us a lot, although a few are not as good. The courses are interesting and help us learn more about our field. The teaching is good, but many teachers speak Bengali, which can be tough for non-Bengali students. The ratio of students to teachers is around 5:1, and we haven't had any real-world experience yet.
Placement: The college doesn't have placement cells yet, but there's talk about setting them up because of NAAC affiliation. Some seniors landed jobs in good companies through their own hard work and good grades. The college doesn't offer internships. If students try to get internships elsewhere, the authorities don't help and may even reject applications. There aren't many seminars throughout the year, and the few we have are controlled by the principal. He decides on the topic, slides, and even what we should say. If he doesn't like it, he cuts it short with a simple "get out."
Campus: The college doesn't have great facilities for sports or events. The labs are okay with some good tools like PCR machines and photometers. But the computers are bad only one CPU for lots of monitors. No medical help on campus. The classrooms are just average, like a regular school. The food in the canteen is not good and kinda dirty. The hostel rooms are terrible dirty, no water filter, and cats everywhere. And there's not even a proper trash can in the whole building.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They're super helpful during and after class. They're always there to support us. Most of them know their stuff really well and have done a lot of research. I'm in the 3-year genetics program with 6 semesters.
Placement: After finishing B.Sc. (Genetics), placements are a bit hard to come by. But if you go on to do your Masters, there are more job opportunities waiting for you in different industries. Lately, a few students have been landing jobs right after their B.Sc. Some companies even come to the college to hire students.
Campus: The campus is nice, though not as fancy as Amity, VIT, and other private colleges. The labs are top-notch, and they even have a new gym for students. Plus, there's a playground for chilling out. Overall, the vibe here is cool. They have different buildings for each lab, which is pretty convenient.

Admission: The teachers at our college are super experienced and really know their stuff. They're always there to help us out, whether it's in class or one-on-one. There are tons of different courses to choose from, and the management is on top of things. The exams are fair and the questions are at a good level.
Placement: I heard from older students that this college is great for getting jobs after graduation. They said students here get good job offers from big companies with salaries ranging from 2 to 10 LPA. Over 80% of students in our course did internships too. I'm excited because this college has a really good reputation among all the colleges.
Campus: The facilities and buildings are really nice. Everything looks well-maintained. The labs have all the equipment we need, and it's all in great shape. The hostels are nice, with comfy beds. They have a lot of sports equipment available too, which is super helpful for staying active.

Admission: The teachers at our college are amazing! They really know their stuff and work hard to help us learn. They use presentations and lectures to make things easy to understand. The curriculum at MAKAUT (WBUT) is top-notch too.
Placement: After finishing my B.Sc., I didn't have direct placements lined up. It's common not to land a job right after graduating in life sciences. But if you go for a master's degree in a related field at our college, there are opportunities for campus placements.
Campus: The classrooms have projectors, and there are awesome labs and equipment. The library has lots of books. They have a computer lab with fast internet. You can make copies of notes at the xerox center on campus. The canteen has yummy food at good prices. This college has everything a student could want.

The college had 5 floors, and the library was on the 3rd floor. We had access to many books, comfortable seating, and National Library resources there. We also had 9 clubs like sports, painting, photography, and eco clubs. We could take swayam courses for free, which was awesome. The canteen served healthy food at affordable prices. Medical facilities and lots of sports and games were available too. Overall, it was a great experience at our college.
