Shri Shikshayatan - Shiksha and Funn

The practical syllabus with equal amount of focus on theory ensuring both theory and practical is catered to is what drew me to the program. Yes, some practical aspects are taught well which enhances real world applicability. However more practical rigorous syllabus is required. The course curriculum can be improved with the introduction of more Skill Enhancement Courses ( SEC) PAPERs The exams are not that difficult. It occurs twice a year every six months.

From semester 7 students become eligible for campus placements. Many companies visit like TCS, Mirchi Bangla, ABP Ananda, Zee 24 Ghanta many such companies come. Many new entrepreneurship ventures come too. College has an active placement cell. New companies come every year. Most of the students almost 60 percent eligible people get placed. I plan to go into public relations or advertising after this degree.

The fees per semester is 33000. So the year wise fees stand at 66000. It is a four year programme. Total fees stand at 264000. All batchmates have to pay the same. Swami Vivekananda Merit Cum Means Scholarship is available. Shri Shikshayatan provides freesjip to eligible students where entire fees are exempted.

The college has numerous annual festivals like Elysium (media fest), Srijan (college fest) , Shree. Each club has its own fests. Entrepreneurship cell conducts a fest.

I applied in Sister Nivedita University, Seth Anandaram Jaipuria, Muralidhar Girls College, South Calcutta Girls College and Bijoy Krishna Girls College, however I chose Shri Shikshayatan because it's located near Rabindra Sadan Metro Station which is located in a very strategic location easily accessible from all points. In terms of infrastructure too Shri Shikshayatan beats other colleges. Sister Nivedita University has a great campus but the college timings are too rigorous and its more expensive hence I choose Shri Shikshayatan. The admission process is simple and straightforward. The college portal releases forms. One has to create an account, log in and apply for the same. Merit lists are announced on the basis of marks obtained in 12th in due course of time.

Only two semester exams twice a year conducted by Calcutta University. Most can clear. Only 10 percent might fail. Course curriculum is relevant as per new education policy. . However it can be further improved upon. CU has its own policies difficult to understand.

There is a cafeteria and a gym. The college closes off at 7.30 pm. There is no hostel. Campus is the same campus as that of the school. Hence the campus premises are only available once the school students file out that is after 3 pm. Famous hangout places inside college are Activity Room, Yoga Room, Common Room (includes gym) and the college grounds like temple dias and karate shed available after 3 pm. Basketball court as well. Outside campus students hang out in kathleen, emami market, riddhi siddhi, ac market, forum mall.
