MAC, Central Kolkata's lesser know educational legacy.

Faculty: Faculty consists of some of the best in Calcutta, with the HoD being an eminent writer who is read both locally and globally. Other faculty members also bear a happy-to-help attitude. The curriculum and exams are held by CU, and faculty operates under their guidance with their own experience.

Maulana Azad College, Kolkata Review.

Faculty: Except professor Shantanu Ghosh, everyone there is either waiting for retirement or vacation. You will gain zero knowledge from others but never miss SG sir's classes, those are really good. He is a very decorated professor. The teaching quality overall is far below average.
