Answered Questions

University of North Bengal: 4 answered questions

Ques

Is it possible to score more than 70 at North Bengal University?

● Top Answer By Saurav Dasgupta on 26 Oct 21

Ans

Yes, it is possible to score above 70% at North Bengal University. I have known people from the university who have scored above 70% and even 80% in their subjects. But it also depends on your subject. If it’s a science subject like Physics, Mathematics, or Computer Science that's achievable. But it’s a little tough for Arts subjects. Also, recently NBU started a semester pattern and study. In the semester system, the question pattern was updated and it makes scoring above 80% easy.

Ques

Is Calcutta University better than North Bengal University for studying Law?

● Top Answer By Saugata Roy on 26 Oct 21

Ans

Calcutta University is far better than North Bengal University for studying law. CU has more national recognition as compared to North Bengal University. The exposure you will get at CU is unparalleled. CU is an older university compared to North Bengal University. Although you can excel in your academics from any university, choosing a better one will provide you with more exposure. So, if you are interested in pursuing a degree in Law, I will suggest that you choose CU.
