However, reservation benefits (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) are available only to candidates permanently domiciled in West Bengal. For the 80% category seats, preference is given to students from Vidyasagar University's jurisdiction, while 20% seats are open to students from other universities/boards.

Ans. After completing B.Sc (Hons.) Physics, students can pursue M.Sc Physics from Vidyasagar University or other universities. They can also appear for competitive exams such as CSIR-NET/JRF, GATE (for M.Tech admissions), WBCS, and defence recruitment exams. Teaching (school/college level after B.Ed/M.Sc), research positions, and roles in government scientific organisations (ISRO, DRDO, BARC) are common career paths.

Ans. Yes, the college has a hostel that can accommodate approximately 500 students. Hostel allocation is based on distance from home, academic performance, and family income. Students interested in hostel accommodation should apply to the college administration soon after admission. Hostel fees are Rs. 17,100 for the year and are charged separately from academic fees.

Given that it is the only women's college in Purba Medinipur district with a Physics Honours programme at very affordable fees, competition can be moderate to high, especially for students from the local area. The merit list is prepared strictly on Class 12 marks, so students with strong Physics and science scores have a good chance of securing admission.
