The library is very well equipped and is considered to be one of the best among the others under Calcutta University.
We mainly had to select an organization in which we had to work for a month and make a daily report at the end of the internship.

Dislikes

Placements and job opportunities are not very good, as I have heard from my seniors

College cries and happy ties

3.0Helpful

Loreto college is a great institution with a fabulous teaching staff. The staff focuses on instilling a sense of dedication in the students..Priority is given to studies and it is a pretty disciplined institution.
It is the only institution where conferences are held on a regular basis. These conferences are hosted by great personalities who motivate the students to make something out of their lives.

Dislikes

There are no taps in the washrooms. They should take strict action on this issue as it is about the hygiene of the students.
Every college has a canteen and the food provided in the canteen should be tasty as well as healthy. Our college canteen has only fried foods which shouldn't be the case. They should incorporate healthy fooding in the canteen .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm pursuing English Honours which is a four-year undergraduate course. I am an aspiring teacher which made me choose this specific course. English is a medium through which we can bring about certain changes in society. A good teacher must have efficient communication skills which is possible through English. Every field demands that professionals must have effective communication skills which is possible through English. We have eight semesters altogether each of six months. We are required to sit for end-sem exams every six months which evaluate the knowledge we gained in those six months.

teaching faculty, the teaching faculty of the college is really good and helps the students alot
Groups and students unity, the bonding between the girls is really good.

Dislikes

college timing is not flexible alot. for winters the morning classes are hard to attend

Course Curriculum Overview:

the course that i have opted for is Political science hons, i took it for career benefits like civil services exam, SSC exams and more. It awares you about what is happening around the world with proper concept behind it, with different schools of studies and more. As it is under CU, Calcutta University the difficulty and study pressure is really high and the exam dates depend on CU. and as it is said no one can really predict CU.

Loreto College, Kolkata: An Honest Review

4.3Helpful

Likes

The professors and other staff are always eager to help. They are cooperative and make college feel like home. They are all very understanding and try to take the load off us as much as possible.
The students help build an inclusive environment, encouraging everyone to express themselves in their unique ways while adhering to college regulations on decency and discipline.

Dislikes

Sometimes, the number of co-curriculars to be organised can get a bit overwhelming, especially for the student council. The short span of time provided for every semester is not conducive to the number of events held.
Too strict about attendance. Students are required to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance in order to be able to appear for end semester examinations. There are no provisions for accidental and illness related prolonged leaves.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The college follows the curriculum laid down by the University Grants Commission as adopted by the University of Calcutta. The syllabus is extensive and focused. Although the CBCS curriculum of Psychology is a bit theoretical in nature, it prepares students for course-appropriate career options or further studies in the field. The curriculum is divided into specific papers that help students explore their interests. There is room for improvement in the amount of time provided to complete a semester. Although ideally, a semester is supposed to be 6 months long, it is usually reduced in reality to 3-4 months and sometimes even a little over 2 months. The college professors do a wonderful job at teaching, although this dearth of time available often hinders them from exploring topics of interest in greater detail at the risk of not being able to cover the entire syllabus in the short time available. For the CBCS system, examinations are held at the end of every semester.

Stable College

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course and curriculum is a bit strict. The faculty members are great. They are very co-operative. English honours is comparatively tough for CBSE students because there is a lot more to study with respect to literature.

In the societies you can show your talents in various ways

Dislikes

It’s very much strict and phones are not allowed in classes or in between classes
We have classes from 8:30 in the morning so it’s a bit difficult to travel everyday to college .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always loved English. So Studying in Loreto was a dream come true to me. Our departmental teachers are very friendly and you can ask as many qs as you want. Yes , the college is a very very strict but you will learn a lot. The midterm exams are not that difficult and teachers will guide you. There are 50 students in our department and teachers teach every individual properly.

Regular classes, safe campus life, co cirricular activities
Senioes are very cooperate. There are anti ragging, women protection cells, which are bery active

Dislikes

Too much emphasis on attendance, and restrictions on clothing

Course Curriculum Overview:

In the History Department, each year has an average of 40 students, and there are 5 faculty members plus one lecturer. The faculty members are very cooperative and helpful. Unlike other colleges, they actually try to finish the syllabus every semester. The exam pattern is designed by CU. Semester dates remain unknown till atleast 1 month before the exam, which the case for all CU affiliated colleges.

Best Women's College Under Calcutta University

Likes

The canteen food that is offered by the college.
The library is incredible providing all-round knowledge in all spheres.

Dislikes

The placements of our college is not up to the mark
The timings of the college should be considered.

Placement Experience:

The students are eligible for campus placements from the past semester that is from semester six. The number of companies visited is around 10 and the no of offered is near about 20 but there is a catch not all students are placed as it is completely based on merit and only a few can make it to the placement list. The highest-paid package would be 40,000 and the average would be 20,000. The percentage of students getting placements is a bit low. My plans will depend completely on the result of my last semester.

Placement Experience:

From third-year companies start coming to the campus for student selection. Companies like TCS, Cognizant, and Amazon visit for placements. The package usually depends on the job role and skill set of an individual. I opted out of counseling these companies because I would pursue sports management in the future.
