Entrance Preview

The admission was done based on marks scored in Indian school Certificate examination. I scored 93%. Opted this college for bachelors in sociology as it is the best in kolkata.

Course Curriculum Overview

5

We had a whole paper for dissertation. In our last semester. It was a paper of 100 marks. One of the professors would help each of us out. We even had papers on research methodology 1 and 2. So I would say it is quite focused on research. At least the basics of research not covered in few colleges would be covered for sure.

Internships Opportunities

No,our college did not provide internship at least not that I know of in my department. But in departments like mass.com and economics I think they were provided internships. Although I am not sure about the details.

Fees and Financial Aid

I have no idea about this. I never applied for any loan or scholarship. But although I am not certain about the loan facility I am positive the college offers scholarships. It just might be one of those things you look up on their Web page for accuracy.

Campus Life

3.5

Gender ratio was very satisfying. In our class of 55 students, we had 50 girls and 5 boys. Although that's not the same for departments like b.com, or maybe maths. Overall though we had diversity. Christians, Hindus and Muslims. Minorities like north east students, and other reserved category students were also there.

Exam Structure

Exams and internals will leave you feeling like you have no social life. But once you go on for post graduation, you'll understand how much easier it is here. Only because of all that you crammed in for internals 1,2 or 3 in all the semesters. There are constant internal assessment exams every month and one mid-sem examination before the final semester paper. All the marks you get will be added to the main exam.

Admission

The admission was based on applying online which I did. They will provide online forms which once filled if satisfies the criteria,you can see your name in the list they publish of students who are granted admission. Then you go there on the specified date with your certificates and they check the authentication of your marks as you mentioned on the online form.

I want to know bengali literature and all type of poems and proses that's why I choose B.a. in bengali literature. According to me, my course helps me in doing Masters in Bengali. From the point of view of improvements, I feel that digital classes can be conducted in the class by leaving the theory classes. Mere collage The exam level is basically hard and exams are conducted twice a year.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have always wanted to persue English as a career. I love studying English but not a big fan of the new curriculum by NEP that includes a lot pf irrelevant papers. The semesters are not consistent. Odd semesters usually have a lot of time like 6-8 months but even semesters barely consist of 2-3 months.

Course Curriculum Overview:

We were held a class for upto 1hrs, thus we had 4 class a day. Sometimes it is boaring sometimes it becomes striking, it depends on the mood. It is to say little knowledge is a dangerous thing, if you don't read you cannot pass the semester examination. Although it will provide you a second chance. But with change of syllabus the exam pattern also change. You need to attain a total percentage of 75(%) to maintain you honours subject otherwise you would be regarded as programme course student.
