Course Curriculum Overview

4

Shikshayatan is one of the most famous colleges in Kolkata for Bcom hons. The curriculum includes a blend of theoretical knowledge. The course emphasizes the development of analytical skills. The curriculum provides a solid foundation for students pursuing professional certifications like CA, CMA, etc. The college also helps in development of practical knowledge of students.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees I pay per semester is near about 30000/-, so yearly it stands to 60000/- for Bcom honours. In bcom honours, there is no lab work so the lab fees doesn't apply for us. Including the tuition fees, admission fees, registration fees we have to pay 30000 per semester, i.e , 60000 per year. In other streams, for example in history or pol science the fees is comparatively lower and in case of mass communication it is 30000 per semester. There are no scholarships or financial aid that is provided to the students except for the SC and ST students.

Campus Life

The campus as shown in the college website is not true. The college claims the swimming pool and the ground belongs to college but it's school property which is a drawback instead. But there are many clubs in the college which provide opportunities to explore your interests

Admission

I chose this college because it's a renowned college in Kolkata specially in terms of Bcom hons. I always had a desire to get into this college. The admission process was smooth and the admission is merit based.

Faculty

The teachers are very helpful and they clear all our doubts and try their best to make us understand. The faculty is very good at Shri Shikshayatan college. The college placement cell is amazing and they make sure 100% placement. The syllabus is structured in such a way that the students get an indepth insight about the programme which will help the students opting for masters. The bcom programme under CBCS has 6 semesters. The exam takes place twice a year and the duration for the same is 3 hours for 80 marks.

Night Life

The college is located in the main area and its very convenient for students to reach without any hustle. The college has it's own gym but some of the equipments do not work. The cafeteria has a lot of food options. The library is well equipped with books of all streams and well maintained. The locality is safe to roam around at night.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is of course outdated. Teaching methods are old. No case studies, competitions or project of any sort is there in the curriculum. Although a project of 100 marks is there in the final sem, but I don't think that's enough. There is no practicality in the curriculum and usability in career. The syllabus really needs an uplifment.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is average , I chose this course because I wanted to do an honours degree and I'm from commerce background so my first pick was B.Com . They really put efforts to prepare students for well future , as I said earlier some teachers are genuinely very good helpful supporting and good at what they do . Something they need to approve is the 70% attendance criteria, I think they need to understand not every student is just persuing graduation they are doing some other courses or jobs etc so they can't maintain 70% attendance . The frequency of timing is average

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course Curriculum is Comprehensive, focused equally on Academics and Practical Exposure.. I chose because of that extra year of research I can choose to do in my final year (4th year) of graduation and I'll have an Hons. Degree at the end of 4th year of my college... Practical insights makes sure we are being trained to tackle practical world and academic knowledge ensures we are eligible to apply for further Education.. I will say more focus on Practical Exposure and a little extra focus on Sports May Take This Curriculum to a different level..
