Rohan Biswas's Review On Asutosh College, Kolkata

Asutosh college is one of the greatest colleges and its rank in all over India and West bengal shows it . There are many rumours , but it up to someone who will take it or not . You have to read in Asutosh , unless you cant experience the colours .

Asutosh college is one the biggest name in the education circle , the faculty is very good , more than 28 UG courses are available , comparative exam coaching classes also given , strong students wing , little bit of placements , student friendly atmosphere and great infrastructure.

I choose Botany as my honours subject . It is a little tougher than other bio sc subjects because of vast syllabus and low scoring rate but the opportunities are higher. The teachers are very good and extremely qualified and helpful . The instrument are good and in third year they gave knowledge about research and other options .

No , as other Govt colleges , there is no internship was given . Only dept of BBA honours provide internships .

Placement cell is weak as other govt colleges but compared to other govt colleges , it is much better . Companies like ICICI Prudential , Sail , TCS and many other companies come to our college for direct jobs . They took seminar , GD , PI and then select the desirable candidates .

The fee structure is low and all courses is within 6-9k for a year . Only the self financed courses are costly which is 20k-30k per year . But for the self finace course installments are available . You can find the detailed fee structure in the Asutosh college website .

Every government scholarship is available in the college . Any eligible student can get a scholarship from college . However college do not give any scholarship of its own , but fee concession and free studentship available for needy students .

Gender ratio -Girls ratio is slightly higher than boys (55:45) . Extracurricular - Beside study , there is NCC/NSS , Gymnasium , open libraries and other things Labs- Labs are in very good condition and filled with every possible instrument that you need Sports - College have a Football , Cricket , kho kho team which participate and won many competitions. Competitions- College sent representatives to other colleges to compete. The competitions organised under the events I described before .

There are no colllege hostels are in Main campus . All the college hostels are in 2nd campus of the college . But as there are so many meses , room rent for students , home stays , paying guests available , the absence of hostel is not effect the students .

College has a strong alumni network . Even they have a group , where our principal is the president . The group discusses about the necessities for the college . Seniors are very helpful and stand as a pathfinder for their juniors . Even they gave their old books for free .

I filled a form in dept. Botany of this college . The form is available at college websites after west bengal results and the window was opened for a week . After a week a provisional merit list published including names of all applicants and after 2days of pulishing provisional merit list , 1st merit list published according to capacity of intake . I got admission in 1st merit list . I went to college at mentioned dates and went to dept for 1st verification , the professors room for second verification , then to the bank to pay the payment , then to college library to take roll no and fees book . That was and is the process. Next list published after the admission of 1st merit list . The further lists include conselling of students according to the merit.

The faculty is highly qualified and all holds the PhD degrees . They are very helpful , even if we call at 2 AM for anything related to subject , they answered and no signs of irritation was there . They know the names of every students , their strong and weak points and treat them as the requirement . Every class was taken very seriously and they broke the mith that in college there are hardly any classes are conducted .
