Lady Brabourne College, Kolkata Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

We have individual microscopes, which are all in absolutely perfect condition in the Botany Department. As a result, we all can do our work separately and get good results for our practical work, which helps us in understanding the theory of our subject extremely well. The microscopes and all other equipment like the slides, stains, etc. are regularly attended to. If any part is broken or needs repairing, it is always done on time.

I am currently studying Botany Hons. I have always been interested in research and biology and Botany provides vast opportunities, therefore,I chose to pursue this subject. The teachers helps us in understanding the topics in our syllabus very thoroughly. We are informed about all the latest research taking place in our field, from around the world. This is very informative and elevates our interest in the subject we are studying.

Students of the Botany Department usually do not for jobs right after their undergraduate level is over. So I do not know a lot about placements in my college. But I have heard from some students of the Arts Department, that a good percentage of graduate students get placed every year and that the teachers help them a lot in this regard.

For my own course, I pay around 4500 rupees every year ( a little more than 2000 per semester) , which is quite cheap given the equipment and books we are provided by our department and the library respectively. And definitely, I am getting my money's worth as far as academics is concerned because the teachers are extremely qualified and good at their job. We attend occassional workshops and seminars which are also very enriching.

The college campus has its merits and demerits. Personally, I wish there was a basketball court or a swimming pool there. It could also be a little cleaner. Those are the only two demerits. But on the other hand,it is extremely safe for its students, who are all young girls. They can communicate their problems to the college authorities and be sure to receive assisstance.

The college will definitely provide its students with great memories to cherish forever - be it with their friends, teachers. Cultural progammes and sports events are held every year, which are both enjoyable and educational and gives the students a platform to showcase their talents.
