Offered by Goenka College of Commerce and Business Administration
4.2
4.0Placements3.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money
Top college of commerce in Kolkata, GCCBA.
Placements: About placements, the college provides them in the last year of completion of our degree. The placement opportunities are quite low but valuable. Companies like EY, Airtel, etc. come to offer placements. The package is around 4–5 LPA. However, if you are a bright student, you can expect more.
Infrastructure: Being a government college, the infrastructure is not that good. Basic amenities are available, like washrooms, classrooms, a common room, a lift, library, study room, and a ground. But private colleges provide more than this. For example, we don't have a games area. But if you're keen to study only, then it's a good place.
Faculty: Teachers are really very helpful in terms of guidance, completion of the syllabus, other information, studies, etc. They also take part with students to organise anything on campus and are all well-qualified, proficient professors who guide properly.
Other: GCCBA is considered the top college of commerce under CU in Kolkata. Having the lowest fees for a 4-year graduation, I think this college is too affordable for students who are passionate about getting a B.Com degree. Fests and all are quite regular in this college. You get to go to other campuses for inter-college dance competitions, etc. Overall, I love this college.

It provides an excellent placement cell.
Placements: Accounting and Finance have more placement and high-package opportunities than Marketing and Sales. For B.Com and BBA, there are good opportunities. Actively hiring partner Big 4 firms and many MNCs. B.Com and BBA are really very effective at Shri Shikshayatan College. Almost every student gets the opportunity to secure an internship. At SSC, there is a policy of one student, one internship, so one can only do one internship at a time. After getting an internship, if the student rejects it, they can be disqualified from other future opportunities from the placement cell.
Infrastructure: There are fully air-conditioned classrooms and proper facilities for clean drinking water and normal water. The canteen provides clean food. The campus is clean. Overall, it is worthy of getting into SSC. Wi-Fi, labs, AC classrooms, and a premium library with 60,000 latest books make this college worthy enough to get into SSC.
Faculty: There are always good opportunities for students. Teachers are really polite and supportive. The B.Com Hons course at Shri Shikshayatan College makes students fully industry ready. Exams are difficult, but teachers are always there to guide students. Each teacher is well qualified and professional. They know the CU pattern well. For Semester 1, everyone should follow the class notes from EH Ma'am and SOM Sir because some papers are set from their notes. For the Microeconomics paper, the paper setter is from the home centre.

It's morning college, so if you don't mind walking up and going to a class at 6:15 AM.
Placements: The college does not provide any placement opportunities. We are told that the college used to provide us with internship posts last semester, but since most of the students did not take up the opportunity, they have stopped providing the internship option altogether. No assistance in placements at all.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are decent, smart boards are available, but most teachers do not use them. Wi-Fi is there, but the password is not shared. The college library does not let you take the book home, so I don't understand the point, but the seminar library is good, with access to all the necessary books related to economics.
Faculty: The exam is conducted by the university, not the college. You have to go to another college to take exams. If you have heard about Calcutta University, you would know how the exams are. The curriculum is very theory-based and barely practical. It is doable.

Review of St. Xavier's.
Placements: Our college conducts several events and seminars for the students to learn and grow. They invite renowned professionals to our college and have an excellent network, which helps students a lot to connect. Companies for recruitment are Deloitte, PwC, McKinsey, KPMG, and many more. Last year, the highest package was 38 LPA.
Infrastructure: The campus of our college is beautiful. The campus includes a chapel, academic buildings, a cafeteria, an auditorium, and hostel buildings nearby. Our college also has an excellent library and numerous classrooms with smart boards, LCD projectors, and others. The college also provides separate on-campus hostels for male and female students. There are single, double, and triple-sharing rooms. They provide mess facilities with good-quality food. The hostel mostly remains closed during summer vacation, Christmas, and Puja.
Faculty: Our college faculty members are excellent. Professors mostly teach using PPTs and whiteboards and are well-versed in their fields of teaching. The college also provides mentorship and counselling sessions. Each class has its own personal mentor. I chose B.Com (Hons.), which is a flagship programme of this college and offers numerous opportunities. They conduct seminars and live projects to make students industry-ready. The semester exams are also quite well-designed for students so that they can gain both practical and theoretical knowledge.
Other: It is a premium institution that offers many opportunities to students. I particularly chose this course due to its curriculum, discipline, and the culture they provide. It has some of the finest societies that help us grow. They conduct several fests and events that excite the students and give them a reason to come to college.

Review of Dhrubachand Haldar College.
Placements: The college offered a very large number of students good placement opportunities. They were very good at their roles. They provided thousands of students with placements in their respective fields. The principal also took responsibility for the placement and provided a lot of support.

It is a quiet decent college.
Placements: It does not provide placement as it is just a normal graduation course. The internships that the students get are often part of the curriculum, and they are paid for by the students. Mostly, the students studying here are preparing for the civil services.
Infrastructure: It provides labs for practical work. It also provides Wi-Fi. Classrooms are decent. It has both a college and departmental library. The quality of food in the canteen or mess is average, but the price is reasonable. It has medical facilities also. Sports and games are scheduled on the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is decent. The semester exam is not very difficult. The course curriculum is relevant, but it doesn't make the students industry-ready. Mostly, the students prepare for government exams.
