The University of Calcutta's admission process allocates 60% of seats based on graduation marks and 40% through an entrance test. Candidates listed in the merit list must verify documents and pay an admission fee to secure their spot. Known for its heritage and academic excellence, the university boasts a faculty with all professors holding Ph.D.s. The M.Com course spans two years with four semesters, challenging exams, and a total of 24 papers.

Despite mixed reviews on faculty approachability, the teaching standards are high. The annual course fee ranges from Rs 1,600 to Rs 1,800, with other charges like tuition, examination, and library fees included. A one-time admission fee is Rs 4,000. For placements, around 25% of students secure jobs with companies like Deloitte, IBM, and TCS, with an average starting salary of 3.5 lakhs per annum. However, the placement percentage is low, and no internships are provided during the M.Com course.

Scholarships supported by state and central governments, such as the Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means Scholarship, are available for students based on financial need and merit. These can amount to Rs 48,000 over two years for eligible students. The university's semester fees, influenced by course and college, range from Rs 3,000 to Rs 40,000, with M.Com fees at Netaji Nagar Day College between Rs 20,000-25,000 annually. Overall, the fee structure is designed to be affordable, especially for students from below poverty level backgrounds, and additional scholarships like Kanyashree and Aikyashree provide further financial support.
