ADMISSION PROCESS, FEE STRUCTURE, ENGLISH HONS DETAILS, FACULTIES AND CAMPUS LIFE AT BC COLLEGE

I HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE ADMISSION IN AEC THROUGH WBJEE BUT MY FAMILY COULD NOT AFFORD IT. ALSO, I COULD GET IN JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA DUET TO LOW RANK. SO I DECIDED TO GO FOR BA(HONS) FROM BC COLLEGE. THERE IS A TOTAL OF 120 SEATS. I APPLIED THROUGH OBC-A QUOTA. 10 PER CENT SEATS ARE RESERVED FOR OBC-A. ADMISSION WAS ONLINE THROUGH THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE COLLEGE. APPLICANT SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED 10+2. AFTER FILLING APPLICATION A MERIT WAS PREPARED ACCORDING TO CLASS 12 MARKS.NAMES OF AROUND 450 STUDENTS ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THEIR MERITS WERE RELEASED. AND ADMISSION WAS GIVEN IN 8 STEPS IN WHICH CHANCE WAS GIVEN TO THE FIRST 30 STUDENTS THEN AGAIN A LIST OF SOME NUMBER OF STUDENTS (NUMBER DECIDED BY COLLEGE) WAS RELEASED. APPLICANTS WERE UPDATED ABOUT THIER ADMISSION THROUGH TEXT MESSAGES ON THE GIVEN MOBILE NUMBER. APPLICANTS WHOSE NAME APPEARED IN ANY OF THE LIST WERE GIVEN A TIME PERIOD IN WHICH THEY HAD TO PAY THEIR ADMISSION FEES. FEE PAYMENT IS FINAL STEP OF ADMISSION PROCESS.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FOND OF LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE AND WHEN I COULD NOT GET IN THE ENGINEERING FIELD I CHOSE TO GO FOR MY INTEREST. THERE ARE ABOUT 6 ENGLISH FACULTIES THAT CHANGE ACCORDING TO SEMESTERS. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MR HARIDAS MUKHERJEE AS OUR FACULTY WHO IS NATIONALLY RECOGNISED FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION IN HIS FIELD. THERE ARE 120 STUDENTS IN OUR BATCH. I HAVE CHOSEN POLITICAL SCIENCE AS MY ADDITIONAL SUBJECT ALSO THERE IS EVS WHICH IS COMPULSORY SUBJECT. THE FACULTY AT THE COLLEGE ARE POLITE AND EAGER TO HELP STUDENTS. EXAMS IN THE COLLEGE ARE AT THE END OF SIX MONTHS SEMESTER. AS PER MY DISCUSSION WITH THE SENIORS WHO HAVE APPEARED IN THE EXAMINATIONS, EXAMS ARE OF MODERATE LEVEL BUT LENGTHY AS IT IS A LANGUAGE SUBJECT SO WE HAVE TO BE FAST IN WRITING. THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SCORE GOOD MARKS BUT SCORING HIGH MARKS IS DIFFICULT. NOTES GIVEN BY THE FACULTIES ALONG WITH SELF-STUDY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SCORE WELL IN THE EXAMS.

COURSE FEE AT THE COLLEGE FOR ENGLISH HONOURS IS RS 3700 SEMESTER WISE PLUS FEE AT THE TIME OF EXAMINATION (EXAMINATION FEE). AS IT IS A GOVERNMENT-FUNDED COLLEGE SO THERE ARE NO FEE HIKES. COLLEGE PROVIDES SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS KNOWN AS THE AIKYASHREE SCHOLARSHIP WHICH IS A STATE-LEVEL SCHOLARSHIP GIVEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OF WEST BENGAL. ALSO, SWAMI VIVEKANANDA MERIT cum-MEANS SCHOLARSHIP IS PROVIDED TO STUDENTS. FEES IS MINIMAL AND AFFORDABLE IN ADDITION TO THE SCHOLARSHIP FINANCIAL BURDEN OF IS REMOVED FROM THE STUDENTS. THERE ARE NO CAMPUSING IN THE COLLEGE BUT STUDENTS DO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GO FOR PART-TIME JOBS IF THEY LIKE.

THERE ARE NO HOSTELS IN THE COLLEGE AS MOST OF THE STUDENTS RESIDE LOCALLY. THERE ARE TWO COLLEGE BUILDINGS. ONE FOR BSC,B.COM AND BA WHEREAS THE OTHER ONE FOR BBA AND BCA. FESTS ARE RARE AT COLLEGE. BC COLLEGE HAS A QUITE A BIG LIBRARY WITH A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF BOOKS FOR STUDENTS OF ANY STREAM. BC COLLEGE HAS BEEN EXPANDING ITS RESOURCES RECENTLY AN OPEN THEATRE WAS INAUGURATED BY COLLEGE AUTHORITIES. STONE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE BLOCK WAS PUT RECENTLY. IT IS ON ITS WAY TO BE A BIG CAMPUS.
