Course Curriculum Overview
I wanted to take a drop year for JEE but wanted to have an second option so I chose this easy course. Many students pursue UPSC, B.TECH after doing B.SC. The course curriculum needs to have practical applications. Major semester exams are held once every 6 months. And test exams are held 1 month before major semester examinations. Exams are pretty decent in difficulty. I would say exam difficulty is well justified.
Fees and Financial Aid
At the time of admission, students are to pay admission fees of ?1328 which includes first semester tuition fees and other (Library, Playground, Id card, etc). After that, tuition fees of every semester will be ?1050. So, the first year fees will be ?2378 and the following years will be ?2100. Mostly all scholarships are available to apply. Major scholarships like SVMCMS gives ?18000/year, SC ST SCHOLARSHIPS like OASIS are also available. Any catagory students (SC, ST & OBC) students have to pay the same amount as the general students. There is no such discount in fees for catagory students.
Campus Life
Our annual freshers welcome fest is Exuberance which is usually held in January. Not very big event but quite good as a government college. The library has huge collection of books and journals. Also students are given specific computers to study online in Library. Classrooms are decent and has good lighting and vents. Classrooms has whiteboards with projectors. We have a massive playground where students play many games everyday. We have many clubs in different subjects like art, singing, dance, etc. Also there is one student union and seniors of students union are very helpful.
Admission
I applied to Acharya Prafulla Chandra College beside this. But this college is closer to my house so i chose this one. For getting admitted to BARASAT GOVERNMENT COLLEGE, students need to appear in Higher Secondary or similar examinations with 60% or higher percentage. Catagory students can be admitted with at least 45% in higher secondary examination.
Faculty
Faculty-to-student ratio is good. There are 90 students in my department and first semester faculty count is 4. Faculties have well behaviour. They solves doubt with no other question asked. Chemistry faculties are so good. But some of physics faculties seem to be taking pity on us. There are 2 exams every semester one internal and one external. Exams are pretty easy and most of the students pass the exams.
Night Life
Cafeteria opens once in the noon. Library stays open till 5 p.m. Entry from outside is restricted after 5 p.m. as it is a day section college. There is no such hostels in our college. So students leave after scheduled classes. This college is close to BARASAT JUNCTION so, its very crowded area and many places are nearby to hangout. Many famous restaurants are also available nearby.
