My unforgettable alma mater

I still feel proud today that I joined this college where absolutely no politics was involved, daily routine was followed regarding studies and annual parent-teacher meetings were held. The faculty was a class apart and always helpful whenever any doubts were there to be cleared. Practically I didn't need any turions after college hours although communicative English is a new subject to me. That's why I achieved 1st class throughout my 3 years of degree studies all thanks to the faculty here.

The fee structure was a bit high at that time considering it was a degree course but the college authorities termed it as a job-oriented course which was newly established by Calcutta University. However, I feel college should have kept a placement cell for providing internships and on-job-trainings, which would have helped many students. Otherwise, the overall experience was worth a lifetime.

Life at RBGC campus was a bit boring because all the activities to keep us busy was either preparing chart representing a topic of social/cultural interest making projects or getting ready for the weekly tests. Sports activities were there to break the monotony amidst studies because bunking classes and mass absence were considered a huge crime under the college premises. The faculty also took great pride in maintaining a regular file of good students who used to hold a place of honours through their academic records and sane presence in all the classes.

There was no admission process per se but since I opted for Communicative English which was under the Major category, I had to undergo a PI session with the examiner where my language skills along with communication and idea about general knowledge was examined. Of course, the marks obtained in XII board exams were taken into consideration.

Yes, I was tested via a Personal Interview to check my GK and language skills. The process was quite easy since I just passed out of class XII so whatever knowledge I had acquired at that time, I just represented it and daily reading newspapers was inculcated into me as the entire batch had to prepare reports on any given topic.
