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 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.

Other: I chose it because I have an interest in psychology. The practical aspect of this subject should be better performed by the teachers. Events often happen on the college campus.

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.

Infrastructure: There were very good facilities. Facilities for my course were good. The hostel of the college was also in very good condition. The hostel was helpful for students who lived far from their homes. It made things much easier for them.

Faculty: Faculty was average but helpful. The exam system was the same as in other colleges, but teachers and department staff were very nice and helpful. Students were very lucky to have their support. Their knowledge gave us the vision to go even further and helped us with our education. Teachers were friendly and helped students do better in their education.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Batch of 2028

Offered by Susil Kar College

2.6

2.0Placements1.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty2.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Average college with no placements, good only for getting a degree.

Placements: Honesty, the placement situation at Sushil Kar College for B.A. students isn't great. From what I've heard from seniors, nobody really gets placed through the college, most people have to find their own way. The college does offer paid internships, mainly in content creation, but they don't really help with getting a job afterwards. It's more like a formality. After B.A., people generally look for jobs in content, marketing, admin, or prepare for teaching or government roles.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite basic, with standard classrooms and unreliable Wi-Fi. The library is decent, but specialised facilities are lacking. Hostel conditions are average, and the mess food is often disappointing, leading to reliance on the canteen. Medical and sports provisions are minimal. Placements are not actively facilitated by the college, with students seeking opportunities independently, mainly in content and marketing fields.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and helpful if you approach them, but the teaching style is very old-school, mostly just finishing the syllabus. The B.A. curriculum is okay for getting a degree, but honestly, it doesn't make you industry-ready. You won't get a job just by relying on college notes, you have to hustle outside. Semester exams aren't that hard if you study a month before. Most students pass easily, with a pass percentage around 80-85%, but the real struggle is finding a good career afterwards.

Other: The infrastructure is quite basic, and Wi-Fi is unreliable. Placements are minimal, students seek opportunities independently. Paid internships in content creation are not very beneficial. Teaching quality is old-school, and the curriculum isn't industry-ready. Exams are manageable, with a good pass percentage, but career growth is a challenge. Campus life is average with minimal events.
