Sister Nivedita University B.Sc Review By Debosmita Pal

For particularly the B.Sc Psychology, the course, the department, and the faculty are outstanding. The university is located at a prime location in the New Town, Kolkata. The university also has a comparatively lower fee structure as compared to other private universities of the city. My overall experience was a mix of bitter & sweet at SNU. The Management of the University needs to work on their flaws, but our department was the best thing in the university. Personally, I think no other department in SNU was as good as this department. Also, the faculty was really good unlike other private universities.

The university offers admission based on the 12th standard marks. They don't take any interview or exams as such for admission. Since it is a Private University, I think securing the minimum qualifying marks in boards makes you eligible for admission to the course you wish to pursue. The course fee for B.Sc Psychology is around Rs. 1, 68,000/- for 3 years which I think is pretty less for a private university. Mid-semester and end-semester exams are conducted here which are pretty easy to pass if you study properly according to the syllabus.

The best part about my university life was the department and the faculty. The HOD, Dr. Anindita Mukherjee was really a nice person and very professional having a lot of valuable knowledge. All the other faculties were pretty good too with and taught the students with pure dedication. They helped us with any doubt we had. They also encouraged us to prepare for our Master’s Program.

There is a Placement Cell in the University. But being an undergraduate student I don't know much about the placement activities that are conducted & the opportunities offered.

There are 2 blocks in the campus. One block is for the Engineering discipline and one of the blocks for the other courses. The campus has a canteen, cafe, library, seminar hall, and lift facilities for the students. The overall infrastructure is good, and the labs are air conditioned. The classrooms are quite big and can accommodate around 80 students at a time. Particularly the Psychology department was present on the 7th floor. The library is well stocked with the requisite number of educational resources available for the students to study efficiently.

The overall campus life is not so happening. There are fewer clubs in the university. Various fests & festive celebrations are conducted here. There is an open space in the campus where students can spend their leisure time. The canteen is average. There is also a basketball court in the campus. The area around the campus is pretty good. There are lot of shops and food stores around the university offering good quality food at reasonable prices. There is also good connectivity and transportation around the campus.
