Review from a CA student's perspective fo AJC Bose College.

My course was very relevant as for a n average B.Com student, however technical knowledge of Excel, Tally etc gives an advantage to the student to face the real world more efficiently which is absent from the curriculum. I chose B.Com because I wanted to have a graduation degree also along with my CA Course. The areas of improvement should be in B.Com in the field of how easy the syllabus has become, it's below average and doesn't prepare students well enough. The frequency of examinations should be every 6 months but the first semester exams is taken in December or January and suddenly second semester is taken in May June. There is no difficulty in the examination, it is made for below average level.

After 5th Semester students become eligible for campus placement but there is little to no vacancy for that much students, small companies like Mpokket Tries to hire from this college as for any other reputed companies they are rare and very less hiring happens. The highest package is somewhere around 2.5LPA from Mpokket I guess, The percentage of students getting placements is less than 5%. The B.Com degree for me is just for the sake as I am doing CA and I want to pursue my career in it.

I paid an yearly fees of 13250 along with examination fee of 350 each semester. The 13250rs included all the necessary registration charges and admission, development fee etc. The scholarship is available for students under Swami Vivekanand scheme, Kanyashree scheme, Aikyashree schemes etc.

There were no annual or technical festivals, We were neither given Freshers Party nor any farewell. The social aspects of the college is not that good, we were a Batch from COVID so Couldn't really interact. There is a central library in 7th floor from where students can lend books. There are projectors in some class rooms. There was little to no extracurricular activities as we were in lockdown. There were no groups, clubs or portals for students life as of my knowledge.

I applied to Heramba Chandra College, Victoria College, Kasiswari, etc along with AJC Bose but I couldn't get selected in time in all these other colleges. I got first selected in AJC Bose that's why I took admission there. I also had been selected in Heramba Chandra College but due to the huge distance and evening timing I could not pursue my degree from there. The admission process of the college is very simple, after 12th results a student needs to apply to this college. On the basis of marks and caste category there are lists published, and according to the list students are selected. Anybody can get admission in Honours here if they have 60%+ marks which is quite low as compared to other colleges.

The faculty to student ratio is very low, there is a classroom of 250+ students in a single classroom. I never approached the teachers as they seemed not approachable. There were several faculties like Supratim Dey, he was the H.O.D of commerce department and that man had a class. Also there was Jha sir he is very good. I did not like Some female teachers. As for the examination, the internal examination is very easy to attend and the paper is set to give free marks to the students, also the course curriculum is pretty much relevant. There is a very low margin of failure students in that college.
