Barasat College Geography Department review

The course eligibility is based on the marks of the higher secondary final exam. No admission test is required here. But you need very good marks to get admission. You are eligible for applying if you got 45% marks in class 12. But because of the competition, you need a minimum of 80-90% marks in higher secondary. If you belong to SC/ST you may get a chance while getting 70-80% marks. Besides it, you must have a minimum of 80% marks in the subject you are taking as honours. I have taken Geography honours & I have got 89% marks in Geography and my overall marks in all subject are almost 81%. The application form is on the official website of our college. You have to fill up the admission form and if get selected on merit lists you have to pay the fee and after you need offline document verification.

Among all the subjects I love geography very much and I want to be a teacher or professor in Geography. That's why I have chosen this subject. We had 6 professors and around 57 students in our class. But around 40 students studied. 17 students have left for another course. So the student-faculty ratio was almost 6-7 students per one professor. Our faculties are qualified. All of them have done PhD. They took regular interactive classes both online and offline. We had 6 semesters to pass and two internal assessments every semester. Exams were neither difficult nor hard to pass.

Like any other government college, our Barasat Government college fee is also low. The total cost of study in 3 years is below Rs 15000. And you don't need to pay an additional fee like private colleges. If you are a minority candidate you can get an OASIS scholarship. If your family income is less than 2.5 L per year and you get 60% marks you get svmcm scholarship and if you are a girl you get a Kanyashree scholarship. If you wish you can apply for a private scholarship. No jobs are offered in college
