Sarsuna College- the hidden gem

There is as such no negative feedback. The faculty members of the departments are very helpful, the classrooms are big and airy, the washrooms are neat and clean all the time, the total college premise is under CCTV surveillance. Current principal sir is also very helpful and strict. But if only one thing that needs to improve a bit is the administrative section. Although that is also getting better day by day. They have also opened a Facebook page to help us with important notices and other things

Entrance Exam, Merit List

The course follows the Standard curriculum of The University of Calcutta. And from 2017 they have also opted for CBCS system. The honors curriculum is great it teaches u to the depth of any subject but prior to CBCS the curriculum was a bit biased to the theory portion

There are some stipends for geography a zoology courses but I being a student of Biochemistry department never got any stipend. But financially backward and meritorious students can always apply for Swami Vivekananda Merit cum Means scholarships. And they can also apply to the students union and to the principal for the fee waiver. They are pretty helpful.

Being a general college there is no structure for placement. Though in 2017 some companies like Throcare visited the biochemistry and chemistry department for hire. And generally, the Honours students opt for Masters degrees

Republic Day, Independence Day, Netaji Jayanti, Saraswati Puja, Teachers Day, Nabin Baran, Annual Cultural Fest, Annual Sports Day, Annual Picnic organized by the students union, Seminars are among many events celebrated in our college

The fees structure is not at all expensive. In fact, it is among the cheapest. The fees structure is lesser than any other College offering the same subject under the University of Calcutta. And if one is financially backward they can apply for a waiver of tuition fees to the principal

There are few stipends for students of some departments and also there is the Swami Vivekananda Merit Cum Means Scholarship given by the Government of West Bengal which can be helpful for financially backward students. Also, the course fees are pretty cheap to start with

The labs are well equipped and large enough to provide you a good learning experience. The laboratory attendants are also pretty helpful. There are annual sports competitions and there are also indoor games like carrom and table tennis in the common room. There is also a group which anyone can join who is into poetry, play, etc stuff

Unfortunately, there is no hostel facility provided by the college as all the students are from Kolkata and its vicinity. But there are many local cheap PG accommodations on offer for the students coming from distant locations

There is not a very strong alumni network but the senior stu6are pretty helpful in every aspect. They will provide you with valuable suggestions books notes and will also help you in studying certain subjects. Some of my seniors are have become my friends and they are still in touch with me

Before the CBCS system, there were 3 main exams every year. Which were the gateway for advancing to the next academic year or for getting the degree. There were the regular departmental test and also there was a Midterm examination and one examination prior to the university examination

After I got my class 12 results I filled the admission form given from the college office and then submitted it. After that, there was a shortlisting of candidates and there was manual counseling. From that, I was selected and I was enrolled for the course. Although some subjects like geography zoology have an entrance test due to lots of numb9od applications

The faculty of the biochemistry department is hands down one of the best. The teachers special MPM madam treat you like their child. And help you in every aspect of your course be it theory or practical. The zoology, botany, microbiology, physics, chemistry, and geography have great teachers. Above all the Life sciences departments are among the best
