Is the scoring system of Rabindra Bharati University as hard as Calcutta University?

DS
Deboleena Sengupta Posted On : November 30th, 2021
M.Phil English Literature & American and English Literature, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata (2008)

Comparing universities is not a very good idea. Calcutta University (CU) and Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) are reputed institutions.

  • The faculties here are well experienced but not punctual, they often leave most of the topics for the students to figure it out themselves.
  • The administration of these institutions are slow and most of the time do not cater to the students' demands.
  • Students who genuinely wanted to learn something will be disappointed, as seeking knowledge is not encouraged.
  • Students are said to mug up theories than to actually understand the concepts. 
  • Booth colleges are infamous for their scoring system. Students claim their answer sheets are not checked properly.

So, if you are willing to study in any one of the institutions, you should remember that your effort and dedication will finally matter and not the name of the college.

Which is the best: Calcutta University or Burdwan University for BCom?

AD
Arpita Dutta Posted On : December 10th, 2020
M.A English Literature, The University of Burdwan

Faculty plays an important role before joining a college and one should do proper research beforehand. It is suggested to do a personal survey before enrolling in any university.

Both Calcutta University and Burdwan University are the premier universities of West Bengal. NAAC has awarded an ‘A’ grade to Burdwan University whereas Calcutta University received an ‘A++’.

For more information, the table gives a brief description of both universities:

Particulars

Burdwan University

Calcutta University

Fees

1.33 Lakhs – 4.71 lakhs (first-year fees)

1.23 Lakhs- 5.45 Lakhs (first-year fees)

Placement Package

7.6 LPA

8 LPA

Marks secured in the entrance exam also play an important factor in securing the seat. One can easily secure admission in Burdwan University with less marks but it is difficult to get into Calcutta University. 

While being in a capital city nearby Metro transportation is cheaper and convenient. Yet, the typical cost for basic items is relatively low near Burdwan University, but this limits the scope and facilities of the college.

The syllabus and the course curriculum of both the colleges are more or less the same. Kolkata offers a great opportunity for part-time jobs to the students. Therefore, if one has to choose a college they should do full research, take advice from teachers, friends and then apply for it.?

In which university is it easier to score good marks in a B.A in English Hons in Calcutta University or in Burdwan University?

SA
Shashank Arora Posted On : October 1st, 2021
Studied at University of Calcutta (2018)

Calcutta University's syllabus is standard when compared to Burdwan University. However, it will not help you get good grades, instead, it will develop you in a better way. CU will provide the proper exposure as it is India's first state university with 150+ institutions. 

  • If you study in CU and get a 50% or higher on your exams, you are considered to be a good student.
  • Students generally choose Calcutta University over other institutions because there are few good colleges affiliated with universities. 
  • The university has switched to a semester structure since last year. So, improved grades can be expected, with quality education. 
  • More than 130 colleges are connected with CU. Not all of them are good. 
  • Scottish Church, Bethune, Victoria, St. Pauls, Jaipuria, Vidyasagar, and Maulana Azad are just a few of the famous colleges affiliated with CU. 
  • These colleges are available to you. You may expect high-quality education here. 

For achieving good academic scores, You can also enroll in other institutions such as Burdwan University (Chandannagar College is a great institution), Rabindra Bharati University, or private universities like Techno India or UEM. They are a bit expensive, yet they not only deliver good marks, but also placement prospects. So the choice is yours, if you want to go to CU opt for it or if not go for other colleges.

For English Honours, which university is better between Rabindra Bharati University and Calcutta University? Calcutta University has started the semester system from this season.

TS
Tanisha Sanyal Posted On : November 30th, 2021
B.Sc. Economics, University of Calcutta (2020)

Choosing between Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) and Calcutta University (CU), is not justified, as they are both reputed institutions and have more or less the same performance. 

Their curriculum will be different, along with their teaching style. But both will provide you with similar opportunities after graduation.

CU students claim that it is very difficult to score good marks here, but since the semester system started in CU, it has become manageable. 

So choose the college you feel suits all your requirements, then go for the one. The one thing better in CU is the environment, because RBU has been in constant disputes and political turmoil, which sometimes hampers regular classwork.

SB
Shivangi Batra Posted On : October 4th, 2021
Studied B.Tech Electrical Engineering,Kalyani Government Engineering College (2019)

University of Calcutta and Kalyani Government Engineering College are both terrific colleges. There are certain precise points that draw out the best in these institutes.

  • Faculty: Both the institutes have well-established faculty units. Kalyani Government Engineering College has around 9 faculty members in electrical engineering whereas the University of Calcutta has more than 12 faculty members in the chemical engineering department.
  • Academics: The academics at KGEC is decent and the labs are well equipped too. The electrical department is one of the most relaxed branches and does not burden students with assignments. The students are provided with higher marks in practical papers in comparison to other branches. The major GATE rankers at KGEC are from the electrical engineering department.
  • Higher Studies: Electrical engineering being a core branch provides better offers to you than chemical engineering. This branch makes available more seats in the government sector.
  • Placement: CU provides more placement opportunities than KGEC. The 4-year B. Tech course even provides an almost similar level of placements and sometimes even better.

Since this concerns your career, you must take some time before concluding a decision. Whichever branch you opt for it is you who has to study for 4 years, therefore, make a wise choice that you would not regret later.

Which is the best Calcutta University or Burdwan University for BCom?

SR
Shantanu Roy Posted On : October 4th, 2021
M.A. Political Science & Research Methodology,University of Calcutta

I have friends who completed their B.Com from Calcutta University and Burdwan University and according to them, it's difficult to get a BCom degree from any of these two universities. Because it is honors, and you must also manage a large syllabus. 

As far as the curriculum is concerned, Calcutta University and Burdwan University are identical. Even Burdwan University asks the same questions again and over. 

You will have to put in extra effort to do well in academics at both Burdwan University and Calcutta University. However, Calcutta University has a locational advantage. You will have better access to coaching. Calcutta University is also more recognized. 

I will suggest that you take all these factors into consideration, and choose an institute according to your convenience.

How is CSE or IT in Calcutta University, compared to the same branches at Heritage Institute of Technology?

TG
Tiyasha Ghosh Posted On : April 26th, 2023
Studied at the University of Calcutta (2018)

If you're considering pursuing a degree in engineering or science, it's important to understand the differences between various institutions and the programs they offer. Here's what you need to know about HITK, CU, and The Heritage College:

  • HITK: This institution offers a four-year B.Tech. degree program that is affiliated with MAKAUT (formerly known as WBUT). The curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering concepts and prepare them for careers in various industries.
  • CU: CU, on the other hand, offers a three-year B.Sc. degree program. While it's not directly comparable to HITK's B.Tech. program, it's still worth noting that the two programs have different structures and focus on different areas of study.
  • The Heritage College: This institution offers a B.Sc. degree program that is affiliated with CU. The program is designed to provide students with a broad foundation in science and prepare them for careers in various fields.

It's important to note that comparing these institutions and programs directly is not necessarily productive, as each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, if you're trying to decide which program is right for you, here are some factors to consider:

  • Curriculum: Take a close look at the curriculum for each program and consider whether it aligns with your interests and career goals.
  • Affiliation: Consider whether the program is affiliated with a reputable university or institution.
  • Duration: Consider the length of each program and whether it fits with your timeline and schedule.
  • Focus: Consider the focus of each program and whether it aligns with your interests and career goals.

In conclusion, when comparing HITK, CU, and The Heritage College, it's important to consider the unique strengths and weaknesses of each program and institution, rather than trying to make direct comparisons. This will help you make an informed decision about which program is right for you.

Lahama Biswas Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.Tech Chemical Engineering,University of Calcutta (2022)

The University of Calcutta is a self-governing or autonomous institution, while Kalyani Government Engineering College is governed by MAKAUT. The various departments of the CU have a better reputation among the student communities of India.

  • The potential that the University of Calcutta has for the CSE department can prove to be extremely beneficial for your career. 
  • The course is structured in a research-oriented manner that can help prepare the students for any job interview after the completion of the course. 
  • During the 4 years for which you get enrolled in the CSE department of CU, you will acquire a sufficient amount of knowledge and skills necessary to clear almost any type of job interview. 
  • Most of the students at the University prefer to go abroad for research purposes. 
  • In universities abroad, the degree that you would acquire from CU would hold high importance among your batch mates. 
  • The CSE department has many affiliations with foreign universities that can help you in securing a seat for admission easily for your research along with a scholarship hopefully. 

It’s totally up to you whether you wish to enroll in a world-renowned University like CU or you want to study at a state-funded college which in this case is KGEC.

Which one is better to choose between Kalyani Government Engineering College and University of Calcutta for the WBJEE, if one cant get Jadavpur University?

KD
Krutika Dutta Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.Tech from Kalyani Government Engineering College (2021)

If you solely consider studies as the basis of the selection of an institute for your career, I don't believe there will be much of a difference. 

  • The chief difference arises because the colleges were established at different times. 
  • As time goes on, new clubs emerge at institutes that improve with time, the festival improves, and norms and culture unique to the college change over a period of time. 
  • Because CU's engineering programs are newer, they may have certain disadvantages for several fields. 
  • You may claim that you are unconcerned about everything other than your academics, but once you enroll in a college, you will realize how vital everything is. 
  • Kalyani College does have a far larger student body than CU, you will have a diverse group of students in your batch. 

Also remember, that usually everyone despises their own university no matter how good or bad it in reality is. You surely would not want a gloomy college experience. So do your homework before deciding on an institution.
