Course Curriculum Overview
Updating outdated syllabus and provide critical problem solving abilities based questions could be of great help. Calcutta University provides 3 hours for 3 questions which is of 15 marks each and I think it's quiet justified. Asutosh Mookherjee college provides internships on 2nd, 4th, 6th and final year and hands on hands training and workshops which is very useful in today's world. The University also provides research opportunities for students with or above 8 CGPA and so does Asutosh Mookherjee college. From the very childhood, I am fascinated to the world of literature, read books and write letters which led me pursue English hons as my Major.
Internships Opportunities
I've very less knowledge about the intership programme as I'm a freshman first semester and interships start form 2nd sem. But yes, as per I heard it from our seniors, last time the intership was held at Jadavpur University and vivas on it were also asked.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions
I paid ?7060 for first year. No matter whatever subject combined you take up, the fees for BA eng hons remains the same i.e ?7060. Admission fees in total ?7060(this includes first year fees too) Total course fees (8 semesters):- ?28,240-/- No lab fees in BA English hons. There's nothing like compulsory charges or development fees as it's a fully govt aided college.

Besides getting selection in St Xavier's college and MUC college in Burdwan. I also got selected for Lady Braboune, South Calcutta girls college and many other. I didn't opt for any of there because maximum of my criteria were fulfilled in Asutosh Mookherjee college. I didn't make it to Xavier's College Kolkata due to some financial problem and in Jadavpur University, I couldn't clear the admission test. The admission procedure in our college is merit based (based on class 12th or equivalent examination). The merit marks is calculated with 50% of your best of 5 subjects aggregate and 50% of your hons marks.
