An In-Depth Review of Gurudas College, Kolkata: Academics, Campus Life & More

I feel the theory part of our curriculum isn't much relevant or prepares for real - world applications, only some basic information is what I feel is necessary, although the lab and the practical part prepares us for real - world applications and teaches us a lot of things related to photography, news paper page building, survey report, etc. I believe they should have a better approach and teach more relevant real - world or in demand market skills which'll help the students in the future. Exams are conducted 2 times in a year, once between March - april, and second time between August - September.

This year for my sem 3 I paid 15,350 in total and the breakdown of it is as follows - Tuition Fee 7800 Maintenance Fee 450 Library Fee 100 Development Fee 400 Laboratory Fee 4000 Session Charges 800 College Exam. Fee 150 Students Aid Fund 45 Students Health Home Fee 5 Identity Card / Dup. Identity Card 70 Electricity Charges & Elec. Maintenance 900 Sports Fee 130 Gymnasium Fee 100 NAAC Fee 100 Add-on course fee 100 Job competency enhancement fee 200 And the 4th semester will be the same or the fees might increase, which happens after each semester, so my overall college fees this year for this particular course will stand at - 15,350 + 15,350(considering no hike), Rs 30,700

Fests, freshers and different festivals are celebrated throughout the year, annual sports are also held typically in the month of December. The college library is vast and has a large collection of books for the students to avail.

I applied to the Lovely professional university, punjab but I couldn't get into it because of financial restraints, that university was better in nearly all aspects related to this field and infrastructure. I chose this college because of financial issues.

There are 32 students in our department and 5 teachers in total including our HOD. The teachers are approachable but sometimes lack knowledge related to our curriculum and exams. There are 3 - 4 internal exams conducted based on the syllabus published by the University of Calcutta and vivas are also conducted and the major and minor paper exams are conducted in away centres. There are 2 semesters in a year.

The gym is present but the equipments are old and rusted and the gym is only available on Monday Wednesday and Friday. Cafeteria is not available. I am not aware of the hostel timings. A tea stall outside the college is a famous hangout place of the students. Campus opens at 9 am and closes by 5 pm
