Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course syllabus covers wide aspects of English literature. Thus, making it easier for students to access the academia in future. The teaching methods are very school-ish often making it hard for students to adjust and the teaching is rigorous and requires continuous preparation from the students. The timings of the exams can make ot hard for students to cope up, as the exams always seems to happen back to back. Thus, the students are in constant pressure of studying.

Fees and Financial Aid

The yearly fees ranges to somewhere above the one lakh rupees per year. As a two year course ( not for NEP curriculum) the fees ranges from approximately above two lakh rupees. The fees is collected online on quaterly basis. The students of Christian catholic and other financial backward students can easily available for concession as per request to the administration.

The college is autonomous, thus even if it's registered under Calcutta University, the syllabus is maintained by the college. The faculty is exceptional with everyone trying their best to support and guide the students to their best of abilities in the academic field. The college adhers to a semester based examination structure where each semester is marked by an internal examination called Continuous Internal Assessment ( CIA) followed by end semester examinations. The examinations are fairly difficult, but the professor guide to students providing all the materials and resources required for the course. The fail percentage of the students are fairly low, with given chance to clear their papers over time. The college is clearly famous for its English and Commerce faculties. The other faculties are slowly catching up to the high standards set by the college. All the departments have best of faculties for the students.

Placement Experience:

Most of the placements that took place at least for the literature departments ended up with people joining educational institutes and NGOs. Very few joined corporate enterprises like Accenture. But it does provide almost a 5 LPA, if well placed. It is academically rigorous, therefore academics are weighed more than industry.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for applying for internships after the 3rd semester, and students can apply for placements only after 4th semester. Companies like Ericsson, Ernst and Young, JPMG makes visits our department for mostly analyst roles for economic and fundamental trading decisions. The highest offer made was 45LPA while the average is 7.5LPA. The median pakage is 8LPA. Almost 90% students secure placements after completing their degree since the Training and placement cell is pretty proactive in securing good company visits. I plan for investing and analyst roles in banking companies. I would sit for placements hoping for the same.
