My journey in Taki College

The eligibility for choosing English as a Hons is very simple. You must have completed a higher secondary exam with decent marks. There is no entrance exam system. You have to fill up the application forms first which cost Rs 100. Then based on the marks of HS & Madhyamik merit list was published on the college website. And if your name is on the list you have to pay the fee which is around Rs 1400. After paying the fee you will get a notice of the physical document verification date. Multiple merit lists are published & if you are not on the list & you want to get admission you can try to connect with officials. If any seats become available you may get admission. The merit list is calculated by the marks of the top 4 subjects plus the marks you've got in English for English Hons students. Yes reservation seats are available for SC/ST students

I have got above 80 in English. And I thought English is the best possible subject for me to have a good career. So I have decided to take an English Hons. We have around 80 students in our department. And we have a total of 7 faculties. So student-faculty ratio is around 11-12 students per faculty. All of our faculties are very good. 5 faculties are permanent & two faculties are part-time. All of them are highly qualified and they teach us very professionally. They do organize some seminars. Some guest speaker speeches & many more. They also took some classes in an audio-visual way. We had a semester every six months. And we had to give a lot of papers & we have one pass subjects we can choose from Bengali/Philosophy for the first two semesters and for the 3rd & 4th we had to choose between history/political science.

This is a government college so the fee is very low. We had to pay a fee per year. The fee structure is not semester-wise. Every year the fee is around 1200-1400. It may vary a little. Students can apply for Swami Vivekananda Merit cum scholarships. The scholarship amount is Rs 12000 per year. And you must have 60% marks to get this scholarship in the 2nd & 3rd years. Those who have cast certificates can apply for OASIS scholarships too. Our college is for regular subjects so there is no job opportunity like engineering colleges.

Some of the cultural programs were organized like Saraswati puja, Teachers' day, Bengali mother language day, Rabindra Jayanti, etc. Annual sports programs were organized where students from all departments join in many activities. We have a very good college library where we can study for long hours. We can take a book home to study. Our classroom is very big. Still, we have a blackboard & chalk system. This infrastructure could be better. We have a tiny canteen room, a student union room, a computer room & an auditorium but its size is small. We do not have any campus as our college is beside Taki Road.
