Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course curriculum is well structured and comprehensive, but the syllabus is somewhat in descending order, making it challenge for first year students to grasp. Another concern is the exam schedule. There should be a proper 6 month gap between each semester exam

Placement Experience

3

Overall the placement cell is great especially for the B.com and BBA students. But the placement for sociology department is limited. Most of the students in our batch are planning to do masters or mba.

Fees and Financial Aid

fees of each semester are around rupees 18500, with the last semester being slightly higher at rupees 20000. For the entire three-year program( 6 semesters), the total fee comes out to be approximately rupees 1,20,000.

Campus Life

4

First thing there is no involvement of any political parties, thus no external influence. It is a plus point. Campus life at my college has been overall good, with the higligh being the wonderful frinedships i have formed. The college offers various clubs which caters to different interests, which is a great way to explore new passions and talents.

Admission

I applied to several colleges, including ashutosh, Jadavpur university, Presidency, Maulana Azad, and Gokhale Memorials Girl's college. After receiving selection offers from Ashutosh, Gokhale, Maulana Azad and Shikshayatan, I weighed my options. Maulana Azad was rules out due to its distance from my home. Gokhale was eliminated as it did not offer sociology. Ultimately I chose Shri Shikshayatan over Ashutosh

Faculty

4

As a student at this college I have a mixed experience. On the positive side the faculty is knowledgeable. The notes provided are helpful. Regular attendance can make additional tution unnecessary. The faculty student relationship is generally positive. The CBCS system with six semesters can be challenging, and the average scoring in our college is not as high compared to other colleges under Calcutta University.

Night Life

2

As a day scholar I commuted to college from home daily, which means I didn't expect hostel life or the nightlife that often comes with it. After college, my friends and I would often grab a bit at nearby restaurants or cafes. Given the local demographics, most of these eateries were vegetarian friendly.The area around the college is notably safe with both army and police establishments with a 5 minutes distance.

Other Applied Colleges

Gokhale Memorial Girls' College | Bachelor of Arts [BA] {Hons.} (Political Science)

Political science was my second choice and they did not have sociology as a course.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I want to know bengali literature and all type of poems and proses that's why I choose B.a. in bengali literature. According to me, my course helps me in doing Masters in Bengali. From the point of view of improvements, I feel that digital classes can be conducted in the class by leaving the theory classes. Mere collage The exam level is basically hard and exams are conducted twice a year.

Course Curriculum Overview:

We were held a class for upto 1hrs, thus we had 4 class a day. Sometimes it is boaring sometimes it becomes striking, it depends on the mood. It is to say little knowledge is a dangerous thing, if you don't read you cannot pass the semester examination. Although it will provide you a second chance. But with change of syllabus the exam pattern also change. You need to attain a total percentage of 75(%) to maintain you honours subject otherwise you would be regarded as programme course student.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The Department of Bengali is one of the oldest Bengali department in the state. It offers undergraduate honours and postgraduate courses. Recently, they have started PhD courses as well. The Bengali department is actively engaged in research in hot topics in literature. The curriculam of Presidency university is most diverse among all other University, colleges in the state. It begins with very basic topics at the first year and ends with very specific research level papers at the final year. The syllabus is so advance that bachelors students can compare themselves with the masters level students after completeing the course. I will mention the bachelor course curriculam in summary: Semester I- Prachin Bangla Sahitya O Bangalir Itihas sandhan, Bangla bhasar itihas o bhasatotto, Semester II- Prak chaitanya juger bangla sahityer itihas, Madhyajuger bangla sahityer itihas o kabyapath, Semester III- Shorosh o soptodosh shotabdir samaj: itihas o chaitanyadeb, Ashtadosh shatabdir samaj sangkriti, changa-alanlkar o prof sangsodhan, Semester IV- Adhunik juger udbhab, gadya o probondho sahitya, kabya-kabitae itihas, natoker itihas o rupbhed, Semester V- Bangla Upanyas, Bangla chotogolpo, Rabindranath, Semester VI- Unish o Bish shataker bangla samaj songskriti o sahitya, bhinna bhasar sahityer itihas o tar obhighat, bharatiya alangkar shatra, sahitya o shilpo. Other than these compulsory courses, there are lot of exceptional elective courses that attracted me more towards joining this prestigious university. Since Presidency University select specific students through their difficult entrance tests, the semester exams should not be difficult for the students, but there are some papers in the course which needs to delt with extra care and attention to get extra marks.

Curriculum is essential to guide teachers in what to teach and, how much depth of knowledge is needed for that grade and a timeline to follow so the year will be completed. I wouldn't eliminate content without background we cannot form good, rational and educated conclusions. We still giving timed tests.
