The Heritage College-A Brief Overview

The application process when I applied was fully online(post-pandemic scenario). I applied to The Heritage College(thc.edu.in) through its website and the process was quite smooth. I was informed through mail that I have selected as a student after few days. I had to submit the required and proper documents and pay the admission fees accordingly. The admission criteria in The Heritage College are strictly followed according to the norms of the University of Calcutta. The cut-off mark for English honors is 65% and the intake of students is 60. Students must have been declared passed by a recognized Indian education board.

English literature is my favorite subject from school. English honors will help me learn more about the authors and the literature I love, but it will also teach me the vast history of the language. I wish to research this subject in the future, and this course will help me to prepare for it. It will enhance my knowledge and thrive my skills and ability. The faculty: student ratio is 4:55. I am blessed to have beautiful and skilled faculty in my college. All my professors are extremely knowledgeable and always there to help us, not only within the boundary of academics; but they also share personal experiences and instances, making learning fun and joyful. The classes were held online since the beginning of the course due to the pandemic; but our professors never wanted us to miss any class and took regular classes, regardless of any problem. Our semester 1 exams also commenced online. The checking was very lenient and the average score of our class is 7.4-8.0 SGPA.

I am still pursuing my course and internship offers are not made to me yet. But our college offers quite a lot of internship which leads to job offers. At Heritage, an all-out effort is made to groom the students for enhanced employability.
