With a library card, a student can choose whatever book they prefer to either read or take home for a reasonable amount of time.

Admission
The admission process for the course was very easy as all it took was the marks from the higher secondary exam. You either get into the college when the first list is out or have to wait for the second or third list to be out. If waitlisted, there is a possibility to get admission still afterward as it is common for many students to leave the opportunity in order to take admissions in other respective colleges. The application form can be found on the website of Vivekananda College and it can be filled out online. The application dates including the last dates of admission and admission fees– are all mentioned on the website.
Faculty
The teachers at Vivekananda College, especially in my department (B.A General with a specialization in English) were approachable and always open to discussing whichever problems we've had. As of numbers, we have had about 50 students and we have had 3 teachers to teach us each subject and the syllabus was split accordingly. Having multiple teachers on one subject made it easier to grasp the entirety of the syllabus before the semesters ended. Each teacher's teaching techniques were different and having more than one outlook on each subject was incredibly helpful and through discussing and interacting, the lessons we've learned– be it textual knowledge or more than that, made it interesting and worthwhile.
