Scottish Church College Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Usually, the students from the CS department, BCOM, and BBA get a job in private companies like Wipro, TCS, etc. In other departments students, either aims for higher education or start preparing for a government jobs.

Scottish Church College is the oldest college in Kolkata (established in 1830). For physics, this is one of the best colleges affiliated with the University of Calcutta. I gave the entrance exam of physics in 2018, and it was my dream to study in this college. I never thought that I will get admission here, but I was lucky to be selected here. The entrance exam was conducted for Physics only. Other departments select students on the basis of Merit only. But the physics entrance was stripped-off in 2019 by college authorities, citing economic reasons, despite resistance against this decision by the physics faculty, after which, the Department of Physics also has to select students based on the board exam's merit only.The physics faculty is very nice, and have understanding professors, who try to help any student even in their personal problems. The environment of the college is also the best in Kolkata. This college is a site for cultural heritage. Freedom fighter, Shri Subhash Chandra Bose, spiritual monk Swami Vivekananda, ISKCON founder, Swami Prabhupada, all studied here, and the list goes on. Department of Physics also has two dedicated computer labs only for physics students, for computer programming, and two different laboratories for physics experiments. Everything about this college is good, but it seems that the college authorities do not release much-required funding on time. Apart from these, the college and the department separately take time to time anonymous feedback from the students, and I have noticed that they act accordingly on the feedback to improve the downsides. From this year, the physics department has started a bi-weekly career and entrance exam-oriented course for the students.

After my board exams I wanted to study further with Physics Honours and a lot of people referred this College to me as it is very renowned. The campus is huge with many essential facilities. Apart from that there are AC classrooms and WiFi in the entire campus. Labs are Very good. There are not many hostels for girls.

Overall good college but they had ttoo much discipline and pressure. Felt like school time.no as such college fun.
