MUCWC Review

Besides MUC Women's college, I applied to Burdwan Raj College, Vivekananda College in Burdwan town itself. I chose MUCWC because it was well reputed for its faculty, administration, and regularity of the classes. I did not have any quota but the college grants quotas for minorities and physically challenged. In 2020, the admission procedure was in online mode so there wasn't much difficulty. The minimum marks were quite low but you have to wait until the publication of the 4th or 5th list if you scored near about 60%. But if you scored 90% and above, you'll get admission within the first or second list depending upon the cut-off that year. As I already mentioned, the admission procedure was easy in online mode and the fees are also low so you can get admitted pretty easily.

I chose political science because I loved the subject. Nothing more. The faculty of political science consists of 5 professors and our class strength is 58. The faculty is well qualified and they will cover each and every topic for you. But in the online mode of teaching, you will surely face some difficulties communicating with the professors and the regularity of the class will decrease but in offline mode, you will not face these problems. There will be 1 mid sem exam and 1 final exam per semester. There will be assignments and attendance also carries some marks (In our case, 5 marks per paper). The exams are conducted regularly and they were not much difficult to pass. The faculty will help you as per your need to prepare for your exams.

The fees are quite low (in our case, 2300 per year, 1 year consists of two semesters). Moreover, the college provides scholarships like Vivekananda Scholarship, Kanyashree, etc. So if you can arrange to get these scholarships you will have to pay a much less amount.

The college conducts a freshers event, nabeen boron. It also conducts an annual fest for 3-4 days at the end of the year. The arrangements of the fests are quite good and students really enjoy these. There is a college library where you will get literally all the books and it has a lot of copies. So you can borrow books from the library for your studies and you don't even have to buy books from outside. The building of the college is part of the palace of Maharaja Uday Chand so the building is quite big with a lot of large rooms which are now converted into classrooms. But some of the old rooms of the king are closed and students and not allowed to explore them. I have entered college in the time of the global pandemic so there were no sports or extracurricular activities held these years.
