Calcutta University Admissions 2022: Calcutta University has begun its admission process for the academic year 2022-23. Several colleges affiliated with the University has also released the eligibility criteria for students looking forward to taking admission into undergraduate courses. Apart from the certain percentage of marks in the subjects at the Class 12th exam for the subjects they are applying for, the candidates will also have to meet certain other conditions like minimum percentage of marks in a related subject or in English.

As per the principals, this will not only help them to ensure that only those students who meet the eligibility criteria apply for those courses but also will help the applicants to know that it is important to have a grasp on a related subject or English apart from the subject they are applying for to study in college.

“We have been barred from conducting admission tests by the education department so we do not have many options in ensuring that the students have a good foundation in English and mathematics which are required for studying most subjects. In the past, we have found that despite scoring well in most subjects, students find it difficult to comprehend the lessons in class because of a weak foundations in English and mathematics. The eligibility criteria help us to a certain extent at filtering applications at the very initial stage,” said the principal of a north Kolkata college.

As per the Eligibility criteria at Bethune College, even students applying for Hindi or Bengali Honours must have 50 per cent marks in the previous qualifying examination apart. For Bengali honours, the applicant must also have 55 per cent in aggregate and 60 per cen marks in Bengali. For Hindi honours, the applicants must have 50 per cent in aggregate and 50 per cent in Hindi, as per TOI report.

For those looking to enroll in the Maulana Azad College, in the microbiology honours course, they require to have scored 60 per cent marks in aggregate along with 60 per cent in chemistry. However, in Scottish Church College, if there is a tie in the calculation of the index marks in English (20 per cent of aggregate plus 80 per cent of marks in English), marks in Hindi/Bengali will be considered a tie-breaker.

At Seth Anandram Jaipuria College, an applicant will need to have 55 per cent aggregate along with 60 per cent in mathematics and 50 per cent in English to apply for economic honours. At Asutosh College, a candidate need to have scored 50 per cent in aggregate and passed in mathematics and physics to apply for electronics honours.
