It is the best college in Kolkata for studies as well as for extracurricular activities.
Placements: The percentage of students placed in our department is low compared to others. One of the main reasons for this low placement rate is that most students prepare for competitive exams like UPSC and State PCS, while some students only take placements from the college.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college is amazing. Classrooms are fully furnished with high-quality benches and are equipped with four air-conditioners in a single room. Washrooms are neat, and the water is clean and tidy. The library has all the books that are needed and is equipped with 10-12 computers that any student can access.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly trained in their respective departments. They are very humble and helpful, providing us with notes, extra materials, question papers, and much more. Students feel at home and are taught by faculty member who is like a mother in the classroom.
Other: I chose this course for my WBCS exam. It will help me with it.
