Course Curriculum Overview :

The course had the masters paper and one general paper of your choice like political science, education, philosophy, environmental science. And one DSE paper too like gender studies, refugee studies and peace studies. The course was really interesting it mainly focuses on the south and south east Asian countries. Each and every were taught by making class room power point presentation with lots of study materials and references The professors were teaching bilingually. It was a bit tough in beginning but the more time passed the more we got acquainted with the subject and started liking it .

Class Size : 30Course Fees : INR 20000 per year

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

I took admission during the covid time so the fees of first year was waived. And the second year exam fees and semester fee was very nominal. Perks of studying in a government University and not everyone can get a chance. Swami Vivekananda scholarship were provided for students who's family income is less than 3 lakh per annum and they had 70% score in last qualifying exams. Indira Gandhi scholarship were also provided centrally for those who are the only girl child of family. Oasis scholarship was also given to students coming from minority background Like St/school/ obc

Campus Life :

Lots of seminars used to take place. Both inter college and state level and national level. Fests like fests during Holi, freshers , Christmas Our Calcutta University had different buildings for different streams . For arts mainly the alipore building, for science the Rajabazar science college for English and literature the college Street campus and for home science the Biharilal college I belong from Alipore campus and it was a big one and our room had AC in it as well. Big halls with lots of students like 150. But in my department we had less people. Smart board were being provided in some rooms to access power points. Separate washroom for girls and boys. Had access to a canteen who sold food at affordable rates.. Library, lab everything was present.

Admission :

Getting into Calcutta University for your post graduation is really really tough. Since I took admission during the covid 19 period hence no entrance were conducted . We had to fill an online form and based on our merit from the score of graduation several lists were published. And the seats were limited and lakhs and lakhs of students filled the form hoping to get the opportunity to study in the biggest state University at nominal cost and scholarship as well. If you are a graduate from Calcutta University then the process is this. But I'm not sure about the students who come from different university to do post graduation in Calcutta University.

Faculty :

Every professor was highly qualified. My stream was south and south east Asian studies and this subject was a new student to me as earlier in graduation i only student modern history, Islamic history and modern history. But the profession always made sure to give us quality education and pushed us to do better each day.

My life in Presidency

Course Curriculum Overview:

Our curriculum was set according to the need of present literary world, theories were taught practically it was if applying every little lesson to real life. Every single text were selected on the basis of ongoing trends of literary world, each professor had excellent proficiency and competence of what he or she was teaching. Mostly whatever literature offered, we were taught to question and challenge the idea than passively accept it, therefore it is an eye opening journey than mere course. I have learned to become liberal to other people's idea as well as confident about my own perspectives too. My world view may not matched with my classmates but these kind of diversity taught me to be resilient and active. At first it felt difficult but as soon one gets acquainted with various ideas and philosophies one xan easily perform well in exam especially when on has good command over language.

I have always been passionate about history and it gives me a higher study opportunity in future. It helps me to think deeper and to understand global events, cultures in real life. The teachers are fabulous here but need to improve in research and writing skills, professional development etc. Exam level is moderate and the 1st semester and exam timing will be uploaded in website few months before .

My bitter-sweet experience about Prabhat Kumar College

Placement Experience:

In our college from 6th semester students are eligible to sit for placement campus. In my time TCS and Infosys visited our college and more than 15 students got chance out of 50. They are giving average 2-3 LPA package and the highest package is 6-7 LPA more than 20% students are getting placements. After my masters degree I will go for corporate job.

Good College

Remarks:

Apart from the non presence of the placement authorities, our college has almost every facility for the students. The main advantage of our college is the availability of education for the economically backward category of students.

Learning with Fun

Remarks:

Every university has its positive and negative factors that guide is notions in the long run. The sprawling camus is well decorated. The E.M bower tower, near sinthi more is the main campus of the university. The university offers many facilities to the students and it maintains the decor of the campus with high seriousness. However because of it's strict rule related attendance percentage, the students often miss out from major internship opportunities. Every department has its own story to tell, both positive and negative.
