Answered Questions

Rabindra Bharati University - [RBU]: 5 answered questions

How good is Rabindra Bharati University in Kolkata?

Sushmita Chatterjee

30 Nov 21

Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) in Kolkata is one of the oldest and the most reputed. The ambience of this institute is slightly different from the usual institutions. It has a more cultural vibe, as it is heavily inspired by the life and works of Rabindranath Tagore.

The admission here is completely merit based. The faculty members are highly experienced in their respective fields, some even having 20 years of teaching experience. The departments have an air of politics. Here students are encouraged to be more culturally active and should blend in with the crowd.

The college is very active when it comes to cultural fests, events, etc. Dancing, singing, acting and recitation are the ways they convey their creativity and authenticity to everyone. Academically, they prefer students to mug up theories rather than actually understanding the concept. The curriculum is not updated considering latest trends.

If you are a very creative and cultural person you can join RBU. But if you expect placements in reputed companies based more on technical works then this is not the right place for you.

Are Rabindra Bharati University, Vishwa Bharati University the same?

Moupiya Sen

30 Nov 21

No. Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) and Vishwa Bharati University are not the same. They are two separate universities.

RBU is a state university whereas Visva Bharati is a central university. They are not related to each other in terms of administration but share the same ideologies and culture.

RBU main campus is situated in Jorasanko, the ancestral house of Rabindranath Tagore. Visva Bharati was founded by Tagore in an estate of Bolpur owned by his father Maharshi Debendranath Tagore.

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

Tanisha Sanyal

30 Nov 21

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.

Is Rabindra Bharati University in Kolkata good for MA English?

Himangshu Chakraborty

30 Nov 21

The admission in Rabindra Bharati University is merit based. They demand a higher percentage in your 12th exam, to get qualified for admission. It usually becomes very competitive as there are a limited number of seats.

It is one of the most reputed educational institutions in Kolkata. It has been graded A by NAAC in 2016 for its overall development, campus life and studies.

It is definitely good for an MA in English and other subjects as well. It is definitely worth it as it will provide the best college life.

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

Deboleena Sengupta

30 Nov 21

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.
