Recommended RKMVC college, Rahara

Financial education is the one thing that is not provided in this college, neither any carrier orientation class. This is entirely a science College only with the departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology and Computer recently. The library section is highly praiseful along the canteen.

During the period of 2011-2014 BSc, it was 1+1+1 system and each year we attended annual examination for promotion into the next year. Test examinations were used to held 2-3 months prior to the annual examination. Only the students who passed the examination and who had good atleast more than 60% attendance were allowed to attend the final examination each year. For Honors student 40% marks was considered as passing marks. Failed students were allowed to attend the same examination once again in the following year. During MSc 2014-2016 it was semester based. Each semester was of 6 months. Passing marks was same. But the failed students were allowed to attend the same examination once again within 3 months.

College doesnot provide internship but it provides BSc, Msc, Major, PhD and certification courses. Only for the PhD students stipends are given as per the norms or guidelines of the authority i.e., University, Institutes and Project Head.

This is pretty long list. New year celebration, Saraswati Puja, Kalpataru Utsav, Vivekananda Birthday celebration, Independence day, Republic day celebration, Rabindra Jayanti, Nazrul Jayanti, Vijaya Sammelani, Blood donation, sports day, health check up camp, eye check up camp, freshers welcome, Saradha Birth Centenary, College foundation, seminers and so on.

It is govt sponsored. Therefore the undergraduate level fee structure is shared by the students and the govt. It was around ?4600 per annum. The postgraduate level was self financed. Total ?60000 for 2 year course.

There is scholarship system available for the poor but meritorious students and for only the students belonging to the reservation categories. The scholarships were funded by the college, govt. And Belur math Ramakrishna Mission.

Singing, Yogasan, gymnastics,Cricket and Football were encouraged from the college authority. Gym was opened during 2014-15 for the students and scholars although no instructor was recruited. In the common room, table tennis was made available.

Hostel facility was available. It was good. I didn't opt for it. The rules and regulations were strict. No distracting items were allowed inside the room along with cellphones often during exam period.

There is an alumni association made by the college authority which also have online section. Numerous alumni are associated with the association which held a yearly meeting each year, donate for the college welfare fund, manage scholarship for the needy students

During admission into the undergraduate level in 2011 in BSc Botany Honors, I was admitted on the basis of merit list and a short interview before the Principal Maharaj. During the same in 2014 in MSc Botany, I went through an entrance exam and again a brief interview session before the Principal Maharaj.

Efficient, experienced, sincere - everyone engaged with the department, whoever teaching and non-teaching staffs, knew their roles and managed everything well. The teachers had constant updates about every student. It was a good relationship.
