Well, I applied for Bethune college, Bangabasi College, Seth Anandram Jaipuria College and City College. Out of which my name came on the merit list of all the college but I chose City College because it was very convenient for me to travel there. I was not rejected from any on the college I applied. The eligibility criteria for City College is atleast 50% marks in board exam. Though the cutoff are quite high and ranges between 100-70 in the particular subject you are opting for

When I took admission in City College,I opted for other colleges too(all were government aided colleges),I didn't have money to take admission in luxurious private colleges.The other colleges I opted for,were quite far from my home and the transportation is quite complex while City College is quite easy to reach with various transportation mediums available for all.Also City College is one of the oldest colleges in Kolkata and the building looks absolutely vintage.So I chose City College over other colleges I opted for.

The college conducts admission on the basis of the merit of the students from their 10+2 results. In Bcom Honours the total capacity was 330 students. the students are required to fill up the admission form on the college website and wait for the merit list to be announced. Once published then different dates are allotted to the students to pay the fees and take admission

The process of admission was normal like others, the eligibility of my course was 60 % above in Accounts and aggregate 60% In the official website of the institute , we find the application form, application fees ,and application date . The timing of the exam is delayed this time , and the level of difficulty is 8 out 10 . The process of admission took too much time , so I think it should not take too much time for it ,

A minimum of 60% marks were required for the course. forms were available on the college's official websites. I didn't take admission via reservation so I dont know much about that. I would be happy if the portals of the college websites would be available for mobile phones
application fee is 200. no, I do not want to see any improvement in this process. I find this from the application from the online process. eligibility percentage is 75%. I do not know anything about reservation benefits.
Eligibility ~ A minimum of 60% aggregate marks should be attained in the Higher Secondary (+2) examinations from a recognized board. Where to find the application form ~ All the details regarding admission can be found on the college website. www.citycollegekolkata.org Admission ~ The admission was conducted through an online merit-based system. The improvements that can be made are, that a PI and Counselling round can be introduced so that the college has more refined students and the authorities get to know the students better.
