Remarks

College management is excellent and even though it's a government college,yet the office staff are excellent and quite efficient in their works. Any work which is to be done by the office staff could be done easily. The management is very reliable and listens to all the demands of the students are they make sure that they are met very soon.

Entrance Preview

There is no entrance exam for admission to this college. It is strictly done on the basis of marks achieved by the student in their class 12 boards examination. There are methods to calculate the merit marks of a student, usually the total marks achieved by the student in best four subjects and the subject opted for the Hons course is added and final merit marks is calculated. Then merit list is published accordingly and on the basis of that admission is done. I chose this college as the faculties are one of the best of the city and the college stands off from the crowd by being the best under the Calcutta university.

Course curriculum is excellent as expected. The course structure is pretty much the same for every college under the specific university. Yet there is ample of scope for reasearch as there are a variety of collection of textbooks and reference books in the libraries.

Morover the college encourages us to take part in inter college competition and fests.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Being a govt college the fee structure is very less. Pocket pinch for courses costs only a few thousand for the whole year. For English hons course an annual fees tend to cost around 3000 rupees including every charges from library fee to student welfare fee to maintainance fee. The fees for the b.sc courses are a bit more as compared to the ones of b.a course as the laboratory fees are added in them. But overall it is feasible for common students. Morover special concession are provided for the ones who are financially not too much strong.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have chosen this course because it has lots of scope in future to get a job and also it is a good subject or my National language. In this college lots of faculty has been given to the students. Well, I am also a new student but I can say that all teaching and non teaching staff and also the office staff are very humble to the students and they help us a lot. I am in B.A. 1st year student and lots of faculty has been given by our beloved teachers and office staff. The teachers are very humble by nature and the way they taught us is really mind blowing I am very grateful that I am a student of those teachers. In every 6 months, you have to give one semester examination and as I already told you that I am a new student and my exam is in February month so I do not have experience with the paper and how difficult it to pass but I can say you read properly you can pass the exam in Good marks.
