Review of Government College of Arts and Crafts, Kolkata.

Placements: There is a small amount of students getting in every year. There is no package system in our college. There is no placement provided by the college. In this college, any famous alumni like Jamini Roy, Ganesh Payne, Jogen Chowdhary, etc. This is a government college, so in this college you can get Swami Vivekanand scholarship .

Infrastructure: The faculty is very helpful but in painting Indian style. There is no faculty right now, so be aware of that. Classrooms were good. The GCC library is one of the best library in India. But unfortunately, you can't access it there because of poor management. This college had a hostel but not anymore .

Faculty: In this college, the teachers were the top in Kolkata. They're so helpful. This course makes you industry-ready for things like textile design, ceramics, design wood and leather, applied art, etc. The exam was very tough but the pass percentage is 70-80%.

Other: If you want to be an artist, it's not necessary to be in art college, but it's really effective because of the artist community.

Really good infrastructure, very aesthetic.

Placements: Placement are usually not proposed by the college but a lot of opportunities are proposed to the students, so it's not a very crucial matter.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. Who loves old Kolkata vibes will definitely love the atmosphere here. We have library, canteen, studios, games, medicine facilities available in the college.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, helpful and knowledgeable. The students can gain a lot of knowledge. In west Bengal, this is the best University for students preparing for BFA. The course makes the students industry ready.

Other: In my course, we have many qualified teachers in our faculty from whom we can gain lots and lots of knowledge. Events, Fest, Campus Crowd, Connectivity, Campus Surroundings, Scholarship, Extracurricular Activities, etc., everything is held in our university.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it good to pursue fine arts?

Hello,

Since your question is relevant for students pursuing their undergraduate or postgraduate studies, I would like to answer this question for the benefit of many. Those who choose B.A. (Hons) or M.A. Fine Arts typically head for a career as an Artist, who could work on aesthetics and whose sole purpose is self-expression.

Based on the portfolio of work, Artists may choose to participate in exhibitions to gain valuable experience, work with art galleries, print, digital design, illustrator for magazines and newspapers - the list is endless. The curriculum at School of Design & Fashion, IILM University looks at both the aspects of the need as an artist as well as a designer, we have major-minor, subject choice/combination where one can opt for B.A. (hons) Fine Arts as a major and can learn Design (Product/ Fashion/ Interior/ Interaction Design) or opt for papers from Management, Psychology, Journalism, Media & Communication (to name a few) as a minor. At both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, students gain exposure to the industry, network with artists, and get ready for a career in the area of their interest.

Good luck.
