Sanskrit University: An Elixir Of Knowledge

The cut-off percentage for General is 50% and above and for the reservation categories it is 45% and 40% for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe respectively. The admission form was available easily on their official website. The application charge is Rs 100 for everyone. 25% of the seats are kept aside for the reserved categories.

I chose the course because I have a passion for the subject. I did my post-graduation in English. There were a total of 12 professors, including guest lecturers for a student body of roughly 150 students including both the BA and the MA courses. About 80% of the faculty members possessed a PhD degree while the minimum qualification of a faculty member was MPhil. We had a semester system with each semester occurring at an interval of 4 to 5 months. There are 6 papers of 50 marks each. 40 marks written and 10 marks internal. The standard of the papers was moderate, being set along the lines of the books and class discussions. The passing mark for each paper is 20.

Being a government college, the fees are on the lower side. If we deduct the Rs 4000 security deposit, the amount is on the lower side of the fee spectrum. The university does not provide any scholarships of their but the students can avail themselves of the various government scholarships. The University is very cooperative in helping the candidates with the procedure.

We did not have any fests but the college is very secular towards all religions. We celebrated Saraswati Puja and Iftaar during the months of Ramzaan. Bashan to Utsab which is a spring festival observed in several other universities across West Bengal is also celebrated here. We have one of the largest libraries in Kolkata which easy the availability of books. Being a heritage building, the renovations are mostly carried out by the government. The classes are ample in number and properly ventilated. All sports amenities are available.
