Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course curriculum is well structured and comprehensive, but the syllabus is somewhat in descending order, making it challenge for first year students to grasp. Another concern is the exam schedule. There should be a proper 6 month gap between each semester exam

Placement Experience

3

Overall the placement cell is great especially for the B.com and BBA students. But the placement for sociology department is limited. Most of the students in our batch are planning to do masters or mba.

Fees and Financial Aid

fees of each semester are around rupees 18500, with the last semester being slightly higher at rupees 20000. For the entire three-year program( 6 semesters), the total fee comes out to be approximately rupees 1,20,000.

Campus Life

4

First thing there is no involvement of any political parties, thus no external influence. It is a plus point. Campus life at my college has been overall good, with the higligh being the wonderful frinedships i have formed. The college offers various clubs which caters to different interests, which is a great way to explore new passions and talents.

Admission

I applied to several colleges, including ashutosh, Jadavpur university, Presidency, Maulana Azad, and Gokhale Memorials Girl's college. After receiving selection offers from Ashutosh, Gokhale, Maulana Azad and Shikshayatan, I weighed my options. Maulana Azad was rules out due to its distance from my home. Gokhale was eliminated as it did not offer sociology. Ultimately I chose Shri Shikshayatan over Ashutosh

Faculty

4

As a student at this college I have a mixed experience. On the positive side the faculty is knowledgeable. The notes provided are helpful. Regular attendance can make additional tution unnecessary. The faculty student relationship is generally positive. The CBCS system with six semesters can be challenging, and the average scoring in our college is not as high compared to other colleges under Calcutta University.

Night Life

2

As a day scholar I commuted to college from home daily, which means I didn't expect hostel life or the nightlife that often comes with it. After college, my friends and I would often grab a bit at nearby restaurants or cafes. Given the local demographics, most of these eateries were vegetarian friendly.The area around the college is notably safe with both army and police establishments with a 5 minutes distance.

Other Applied Colleges

Gokhale Memorial Girls' College | Bachelor of Arts [BA] {Hons.} (Political Science)

Political science was my second choice and they did not have sociology as a course.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Political Science as a discipline is quite a bigger domain, which has a huge area to cover, so in terms of comprehensiveness, it was enough to build ones understanding on the subject fully, provided the immense support of the faculty was an add on. The faculties made use of every possible Teaching method starting from Lecture, Discussion, also engaged students in PPT Presentation, Oral Presentation, made us watch documataries, made us visit libraries and read various books, made us write notes from the other reference books. In short, it was enough to build an overall understanding as well as helped me a lot further to go ahead with Masters course.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose philosophy cause I read philosophical novels and I had an interest in it but honestly I'm not going with it in future. Though the department is excellent, the teaching staff is excellent and we get to learn about real world Philosophy, Ethics and morals. Teacher takes classes for major papers everyday and teaches every topic by ending providing notes. Viva and tutorials are the part of the course.. Area of improvement is that the teachers should provide more notes on English mode and teach in English mode as well because not everyone comfortable in Bengali. Frequency of examination is worse under Calcutta University, you don't get adequate time for preparation and that's the worst part.

I choose this course because I was a arts student it in class 12. I like the English subject very much and I got a good number in English in 12th class. You must have above 80% in 12th exam to qualify in the admission process. The teachers of the college are very good person they help us a lot in study. Exams were divided in semesters. Per year there are 2 semistars. The exam were easy for who studied and hard for who didn't.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum and faculty members are great to be honest. I come from a family of Bengali graduates,so there was a common interest in Bengali.Besides it's my favorite subject too. There was 100 students per course.There was more than 20 courses available in our college. The faculty members are so helpful and they are enough qualified,they help us in every situation.The teaching method is so good.The good thing about our college is ,they supervise our attendance carefully.Its one of the reason why teachers are also motivated and try their level best to teach us according to our benefits.They will give us some extra details of the topics,take extra classes,use projectors and so on.The teaching method is standard. The exams happens in every 6 months.Its very difficult to pass these exams .The questions are always so standard in our college.Its so hard to get a good score.
