Insights OF Bangabasi Morning

Very Poor. The teachers, the management, the officials could make it better. Our college has had a humongous potential of being a great one. It was created during the historical event of Bengal partition, 1905 by the help of legendary pioneers and freedom fighters. But the current system is merely trying to make it a better one.

In our times CU used to conduct only one exam per year i.e. the final exam. In college there is pre test and test. But nowadays it's semester based, so the exam pattern has been changed. No, it's not research driven or anything such, you've to develop yourself at your own, they just maintain a stereotype education policy like other B grade colleges of Calcutta University.

Basically it is an ordinary college, so there's no such option of placement or campussing. There were few seminars on science and different topics, but our college don't conduct campussing, or I should say companies don't find the resources that much useful.

There's freshers, which is conducted to welcome the newcomers, I attended it once, when I was a fresher. Also there is social (annual function pf the college) and few seminars on Physics, Geography and literary topics. No fest is conducted like engineering/medical or other top colleges of CU.

They charge 6-7k per year for theoretical and practical classes combined. If your higher secondary result is tremendously poor or you've bunked your studies for few years after HS and you want to get admitted to Calcutta University somehow, then you might want to take help of the students union which might help you to get admission in your desired stream in exchange of a good amount of money.

College offers subsidies on college fees for economically weaker students, which is around ?500/-, I availed it once. Besides of this, I applied for OBC scholarship from govt. portal and they (the govt.) provided me an amount of ?5.2k for one year

In one word - Poor. Gender ratio is so poor if I talk particularly about my department i.e. physics. I remember we were 18-20 boys on first year batch and there was 2 girls. There is sports event which is celebrated once per year. Being a science student, we hardly knew things about it. No other events like robotics or debates, our college is below average in terms of everything. Be it the behaviour of the officials, the faculties or the quality of infrastructure.

Nope, there's no hostel facilities available for this college. But I stayed at hostel in my last year of graduation (3rd year) which is a minority hostel provided by University of Calcutta. The charges of hostel is pretty low due to govt. facilities. The hostel named 'University Carmichael Hall', is allotted on the basis of the distance between your college and your original residence. Those, who lived far from kolkata, i.e. those from North Bengal get the advantage. University takes the whole hostel charge in advance which is around 1.5-2k per year. This hostel is very much affordable and one of the top hostels of West Bengal.

Senior students were helpful to us, in order to take tips on how to maintain the studies and queries on laboratory works they helped a lot. But we lacked a proper network of connection between us. I wish there was a group to keep us in touch, but there wasn't.

I applied for Physics honours after Higher Secondary exam in several colleges. I got selected through merit list based on higher secondary marks. This institution is a morning section of Bangabasi group of colleges and I preferred this because of less number of students, good infrastructure and good faculties. In order to get admission to this institution, you need to apply online/offline after the notification comes out (after one or two months later of HS exam) through the college official website.

Usually we attended our theoretical lectures in first year only, after that there was only practical classes. Lecturers have had theoretical experiences only. The practical or industrial experience was lacked. Most of the professors are demotivational, they demotivate and harass the students and find their enjoyment out of it.
