Admission to the college is based on a merit list requiring 60% in Mathematics, Economics, or Business Studies, 60% in English, and a 50% overall score. The process includes online form submission and two rounds of counseling, with the cut-off based on Higher Secondary results. Top rank holders from the merit list can secure direct admission by paying a fee of Rs 2800 at SBI Bank in Shyambazar. For Economics Honours, Mathematics is a mandatory general subject, while optional subjects include Political Science, Statistics, or Computer Science.
The college, boasting four dedicated Economics professors, provides regular classes and additional support through notes and extra sessions. Annual fees range from Rs 1000 to Rs 3000, varying by subject, with Computer Science costing more than Political Science. The college recently reported a 70% placement rate, although no companies have visited for campus recruitment. It lacks an entrepreneur cell and notable alumni or startups. Graduates find opportunities in public service exams, management, teaching, and academia.
Scholarships from both Calcutta University and the college are available for top performers each semester, including contributions from current and former teachers. The Kannyashree scheme offers a one-time grant of Rs 25,000 for female students, and while there are scholarships for boys, they lack specific government support. During the reviewer's tenure, admission fees were around Rs 2,000, with additional fees approximately Rs 500 for non-technical subjects.
