Taki Government College North 24 Parganas, Bachelor of Arts [BA] {Hons.} (English)

Remarks

The course eligibility is a very simple process. If you have passed your higher secondary exam from any background like science arts or commerce you can apply for English honors. Your HS marks should be a minimum 50% to be eligible. The application form is in the college official website and the entire process is through online. They create merit list based on the HS marks as well as Madhyamik exam marks. For HS they will see the best of 4 subjects marks and the marks you have got in English. Thus they will publish a merit list. More marks you have got the higher chance of being admitted here. Yes, reservation seats are available. Overall 35-40 seats are for SC/ST/OBC candidates. Offline verification is very much time-consuming in the admission process

Course Curriculum Overview

I have chosen this course because I am good at English and I have got the highest marks in English in HS. In the future, I want to be a teacher or professor of English. We have approximately 100 students in the English department and we had a total of 7 professors. So the student-faculty ratio is slightly bad. It is around 14 students per 1 faculty. Our faculties have done Ph.D. or M.Phil. They are highly qualified, no doubt in this. Most important our HOD and assistant professors are very student-friendly. Their teaching method is very simple. They have taken regular classes and many extra classes. They are very communicative, adaptable, and dedicated to teaching us. We had one main exam every year. Because in our time, the system was 1+1+1. The exams were difficult if you don't study.

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 2000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees are very low. It is affordable for everyone. Our admission fee was only 2000. For the next two years before the exam, the fee is around 1500. There is no additional cost of studying. The University registration fee is 350. So the total cost of studying is under 6000. Now if you study in private tuition the cost will be very high. You can avail many scholarships both government & private. For SVMCM scholarships you will get 15000 per year and to renew this scholarship you must have 60% marks every year. Girls students can apply for (Kanyashree)K2 scholarships. SC/ST/OBC students can apply for OASIS scholarships.

Campus Life

We have very few festivals and cultural programs are celebrated all around the year. The most famous festivals in our college are Saraswati Puja and teacher's day. We did not receive any fresher's welcome and we did not have any annual cultural programs in our 3 years. The good thing about our college is that we have a very good library in our college. We have an air-conditioned study room and various different books available here. We have our department library too. We do not have any campus our college is situated right behind Taki Road. We have a hostel facility for outsider's student

A fully equipted studio and lab for Journalism students

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

Likes

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.

My Eyes On TAKI GOVERNMENT COLLEGE

I applied at Basirhat College, Barasat Evening College also. Even they confirmed my admission. But I Choose Taki Government College. Because First of all this is a government college. I got sone extra opportunity like low fees and more more extra things like free access of library, laboratory. I didn't get rejection from others college. Because I'm sure I was not that bad, that they could reject me. For getting admission your results must be good in class 12th. And there is a big competition, that's why if you had more marks in previous course you will get chance fast. And sometimes cast certificate mattar. I applied first. Then when I was selected, I filled up admission form and admission fees. Then a certain days, I submit my alla documents in department. That's the process. Exam system are good....Read More

My proudest Taki government college

I applied in Taki government college in 2019.It is a beautiful college with many buildings. The admission process is little easy for the students because it's maximum happened through online mood. Then the students have to submit their online form in college. The teaching process is easy to understand. This college is also provide hostel facilities. I applied for English honours. And the teachers in this department is very understandable and friendly. The marks should be 50% if you applied for any honours subject. I got the chance to apply and it's my very good luck to take admission in this college. Also it's a government college where everyone will get many facilities and scholarships from government. All over the college choosing decision is quite right for me....Read More
