From a personal point of view, I will always say, that taking up Economics as a major at graduation level was one of the best decisions. Economics is a very dynamic subject and it offers a lot of opportunities for the future both at the domestic and international levels. Starting from research, job, and higher studies, Economics is dominant. Now coming to the college's description, Bethune is one of the best colleges with an amazing Economics Department with great faculty. The professors are highly educated and their method of teaching is very detailed. Professors are just one request away for anything you need. The Economics Honours papers cover a detailed analysis and you need to have a clear concept of the topic and then you can easily rock the exam.

Economics is a subject with varied opportunities in the future also I had an interest in studying this subject. The student-teacher ratio was 25:1. Internal examinations are conducted each semester and end-semester exams are also conducted by the university.
Course curriculum hasn't been changed since 1900s or so. No industry exposure whatsoever. Internships were looked down upon. It's so old and regressive you'll feel like you've landed in some village. MG ma'am and SB ma'am were both proactive, helpful and knowledgeable.
The curriculum is fairly good but the one thing which Bethune really stands out is with regard to attendance. Students should be given more time for self study but attendance is of a big issue out here.
Now this system and syllabus are totally changed from my situation. In this CBCS system, the method of examination programme is semester based. Faculties are very good and efficient and very helpful. They guide students very well. The library facility and the stock of books are also very useful for students. In this CBCS structure, the pressure is very high on students as per syllabus length. Many items are included from MSc level which may not require I think.
The college follows the curriculum prescribed by the University of Calcutta which till our batch covered the standard topics of Economics well enough. The faculty have been very very helpful and cordial all throughout the course.
Our syllabus was quite updated. We had to do a term paper during our third year which helped me a lot. Doing a term paper means one has to research a lot and study thoroughly the subject and the topic. It increased my knowledge of the subject beyond the outline of the book covers. It helps one to have a practical knowledge. Apart from that, the syllabus was divided in such a way that one can get good marks if one follows the class regularly and remain up to date.
Course syllabus was updated according to Calcutta University guidelines. However, the syllabus was a little lengthy for some topics to be covered up in a year. Industrial visits were not done. Faculty members are very experienced, cooperative and helpful. Economics department Head Dr. Suranjana Dasgupta and Associate Professors Dr. Satarupa Bandyopadhyay and Mrs. Maitri Ghosh were our guiding light.
Faculties were very good very cooperative, international conferences were also held they give us lot to learn to interact with people. After graduation campus selections are also held. According to Calcutta university the syllabus are thought in the college
The couse is great and faculty is really student friendly. The course is not just centered around textbooks but there are active discussions in class related not just to topics in syllabus but also involves past and recent economic events. The teaching faculty is always ready to help students and the non teaching staff is always ready is ti lend a helping hand to a student in need.
Bethune College is one of the renowned colleges in West Bengal. As you have opted for B.Sc Economics One of my friends also studied at Bethune College, so I might be able to provide some tips about this:
Lastly, as Bethune is a very strict college, try to enjoy your college life, maintain a good relationship with your teachers and work hard and study well to make a successful career.
