The admission process was very easy. I choose Bethune College because it has a high NAAC grade and it's also a heritage college. I've got the chance. I've also applied to other colleges as well and I got chance in each of them except Jadavpur University.

The admission process is quite smooth here but you have to score a little bit more if you wanna get into these colleges of Calcutta University because calcutta university has some of the most famous colleges and most renowned colleges like Bethune College Maulana Azad College Asutosh college etc. Although the process is very smooth. But you have to score a little bit more. Because the cut of hair goes very high, very, very high. So if get a chance that's very good and if you don't you can apply to other colleges they are also equally good.

Admission:

The application form of the course is available on the college website. Eligibility criteria for BA Psychology (honours) was just passing class 12th examinations from a recognised board. There was no entrance test and the merit list was released considering the marks secured in class 12th only. If you have scored above 92% (for general category) you'll surely be able to get admission in the college. The cut off for reserved category candidates is lower. There were only like 8-12 seats available for general category candidates. Once the merit list is released you are required to make an online payment of admission fee via the college portal and then the college provides you with date of document verification. For that you need to visit the campus and get all the required documents (specified by the college) verified. Hence, completing your admission process. The whole process takes about a month of time.
