Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira Howrah Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The course curriculum was very fine and was formulated according to Calcutta University. The teaching methods of the teacher were fine and up to date. The university exams happened only once a year but to recapitulate the syllabus the teachers use to take small tests at short intervals.

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.

Placements and job oppurtinities are less since this is an undergraduate college offwering honours degree. Though there is a placement and career councelling cell that looks over this matter. Placements are offered only in a few subjects, such as industrial chemisrty and computer science. The rate of placements are very high and come with high packages. Though I am not interested in placements, but I have started taking preparations for compititive exams. Such preparations are very supported here, rather than jobs and placements.

The structure and syllabus is good according to my opinion . The curriculum in not so from pratical problem solution approach rather so much theoretical. Obviously the teachers should improve their approach with morden technology. The gap between exams and the questions level of exams are so student friendly.

After 8 th semister students become eligible for campus placements. Mainly Cement industries, painting industries and steel industries used to visit here. But few numbers of offers they made. Highest average package in 6 lakhs per year. 60 to 70 percent of students getting placements here . My plan is to join research programme after getting degree.

Eligibility depends on the companies requirements. Usually in the final year you start preparing for interviews. Our placement cell was very active and it tried its best. TCS, Berger, PWC etc etc visited our campus. The packages are not known to me very surely, so would avoid quoting one, but take ballpark around 5lacs, which is pretty impressive considering the job market for non-engineering freshers. Majority of the students are inclined towards higher studies and government jobs, and the cell arranges for their preparation as well, and quite reputed ones. RKM is known to have a strong history of students getting top government jobs. Those who wished to have job, not all, but many have got offers. Although still I would say there is room for improvement.
