What Students Say
Likes
- The placement drive is held regularly during the final year. The classes are held regularly and the professors are very helpful and friendly. If one attends classes on a regular basis then all doubts will be cleared.
- The college building has air conditioning in all the classrooms, library, labs and cafeteria. Best thing about the college is it’s beautiful and peaceful library.
- You can find various books in the library and it has a personal lab as well where you can do your own research and save your work as well. The campus is surrounded with many small knick knack snack shops and cafes where students can hang out.
Dislikes
- The campus or garden of the college is not open for morning students which does not allow the morning students to enjoy their campus life.
- I do believe that the internship opportunities could be better which is why our college is lacking behind in case of internships.
Course Curriculum Overview
Shri shikshayatan is a reputed college in kolkata. It was famous since a really long time for its courses, placements and disciplinary actions. I chose b.com hons in finance and accounting because i was very much keen about it. I can say that out college prepared us very well for the course with constant fests, competitions in the finance department. There are various clubs and societies as well which helps with the overall development of students. However i do feel like the college could do much better in terms of placements and teaching methods. They should conduct more seminars and be more practical instead of being theoretical. The exams were conducted frequently according to calcutta university. However, calcutta university should take a wise decision about students and conduct exams in time because they are always lagging behind compared to other universities.
Internships Opportunities
There are very less internship opportunities available at this college. We hardly get any internships. You have to find internships on your own by connecting through linkedin. Some internships come during final year but i am hoping to see some improvement in the up coming years.
Placement Experience
From the 2nd year itself campus placement drives starts and companies start coming to college with their job offers. The average salary is around 20000 per month and maximum is around 35000 per month. It also depends on your overall performance and results. Good enough if you can bag a good placement around 30000 by being consistent with semester grades
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees structure is decent just like other colleges. The total fees is 25000 per semester which means 150000 for the whole course in 3 years. Some scholarships are also available according to need but however those are just exceptions. The college/university also charges exam fees every semester which is around 300-400.
Campus Life
The overall social life at campus was great. The students are very friendly and helpful in college. You can even make friends for life if you are lucky enough. There are various groups, clubs and societies in college depending on the departments. In finance department fests and competitions are conducted very often and you can participate and enhance your skills and also win trophies.
Admission
The admission process was overall decent. There is no entrance exam as such in this college. However you need at least 80% in class 12, to take admission in this college. You also have to be consistent with your semester marks if you want a good placement from college.
Faculty
The class usually has 80-90 students per class and faculty to student ratio is decent. Overall the teachers teach really well and their way of guiding and teaching is decent. The professors are approachable and we can interact well with them. They also help us with clearing doubts and always guide us.
