Jogamaya Devi College, Kolkata Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Honestly, the infrastructure is exactly what you'd expect from an old, established North Kolkata college. We have the basic labs and equipment needed for Physics, but don't expect anything super high-tech—it's more about traditional learning. The classrooms are decent, though they can get a bit stuffy in the summer heat. The library is definitely the best part of the campus; it's well-maintained and has a solid collection of books. As for living spaces, there isn't a massive hostel on-site, but the general campus area is kept fairly clean. The canteen food is typical college fare—affordable and okay for a quick snack, but nothing fancy. It’s a functional campus, just not a 'luxury' one.

"I chose B.Sc Physics Hons because I’ve always been fascinated by how things work at a fundamental level, and Jogamaya is known for its strong science faculty. The quality of teaching is actually quite high; the professors aren't just reading from slides, they really dive into the derivations. As for the curriculum, it’s the standard CU syllabus which is very theoretical. While it’s updated with modern physics, I wouldn't say it makes you 100% 'job-ready' for a corporate role immediately. It's more geared towards preparing you for higher studies like an M.Sc or research. You have to do a lot of self-study to connect what you learn in the lab to real-world industry applications, but the academic foundation you get here is very solid.

Placement is one area where the college could definitely improve, especially for pure science streams like Physics. In our 2022 batch, hardly anyone got a direct job offer through the college; most of us were focused on preparing for JAM or other entrance exams for our Masters anyway. The college is supportive with seminars and skill training, but you really have to be proactive on your own if you want a job straight after graduation.

I honestly feel that Jogamaya Devi College is one of the best options in Kolkata if you're looking for value for money. For my B.Sc Physics Hons course, the cost was very minimal—it worked out to only about ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 per year, which is extremely affordable compared to private institutions. Even with such low fees, you get access to highly qualified professors and a respected University of Calcutta degree. You definitely get your money's worth because the academic quality and the weight the college name carries in the city are much higher than what you actually pay. It’s a great choice for students who want a solid education without a huge financial burden.

The best feature of the campus has to be its location in Hazra; it’s super well-connected and feels very safe for female students, even if you're staying late for labs or events. The worst feature is probably the lack of a large open field, so there’s not much space for big sports, but students still engage in plenty of cultural programs and college fests. The student crowd is very diverse and friendly, and the support staff are generally helpful with administrative work. As for emergencies, there are hospitals nearby, and the college environment is disciplined enough to handle basic issues. It really feels like a close-knit community where the teachers and students actually know each other by name.

Looking back at my 2019-2022 journey, I feel Jogamaya Devi College is perfect for students who prioritize academics over fancy campus life. The Physics department is its biggest strength—the teachers are deeply invested in student progress, especially during the difficult shift to online learning we faced. If you want a respected CU degree without a huge financial burden, this is definitely the place to be. I highly recommend it for serious science students.

I studied B.com in this college. Academically, wise it is not that good but its a good college for you if you are a average student. The quality of teaching is not up to the mark. Attendance is mandatory.

There was no placement in this college, till the time I was there. At present if there is some kind of placement going on I'm not aware about that. This college had general courses and I don't think any of the courses had placements.

It was worth the money as the fees was not that high.

Campus life is not that good. If you have friends than its ok.
