Placements: Excellent college with huge opportunities and a very good environment in college. After the degree, there are high chances of placements coming to you. The placement percentage in my course is above 60 percent. The highest and the lowest salary in my course are Rs. 31,000- Rs. 42,000.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my course is very nice and I'm lucky that I'm studying in this college. It's very good for me, helping me a lot in this course through the teachers at the college. The library and classrooms are very hygienic. The environment and labs are fresh and very clean and help us to study more comfortably.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and very well qualified for the subject. They give us lectures and they are very knowledgeable. The course is very relevant. Students are always welcome in industry. Semester exams are difficult for us but our teachers make us very well prepared for the exam. The passing percentage in exams is 25-30 percent.

Other: I chose this course because I always wanted to do a CA and it's helping me from the start to study more. I would be happy if they opened a gym for the students. Events should be conducted because sometimes students also need some refreshment for the best outcome for them.

B.A. LL.B. - Batch of 2030

Offered by Heritage Law College

4.2

Best campus under University of Calcutta.

Placements: Campus placements are zero because companies do not come to our campus. That is why our campus placements are zero. But the value of the B.A. LL.B. degree is very good because Heritage Law College is affiliated with Calcutta University.

Infrastructure: The campus infrastructure is very good. The classrooms have AC, and the library is very good. Hostels are available, but only for girls and not for boys. The hostel food is good, but the canteen food is of very good quality. The sports and games facilities are also very good.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, well qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is excellent. This is a 5-year course, but the semester exams are tough. Achieving a great CGPA is very difficult in Calcutta University. The top CGPA is 8.5. Faculty at Heritage Law College is very good.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com. Hons.) - Batch of 2027

Offered by Goenka College of Commerce and Business Administration

3.0

3.0Placements1.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty2.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

Goenka College is an abode of success with pillars of history.

Placements: As for B.Com, not many companies come here. The placement faculty has deteriorated compared to previous batches. Expectations for placements are very low. After B.Com, you can secure some internships, but a good placement offer might not be something you can expect much after B.Com.

Infrastructure: The building is old and has no renovation. The computer labs are not maintained, and the library is not maintained. There is no canteen. There is no hostel, so you need a PG to reside here. The campus is awful, with no regular cleaning and no proper maintenance. The classrooms are the same old ones, with no smart boards or anything.

Faculty: Teaching is good but lacks guidance. Professors might not always be helpful. There is a lack of practical exposure. Teachers are not interested in teaching what would actually help in a career, but rather what is given in books. Even if you ask, you won't get anything practical.

Other: There are no fests or events due to political influence. Not many events happen here now.

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.
