You can take admission here if you want.

Faculty: The teachers were qualified. The principal was good and the staff was very helpful and kind. The toughest semester, according to me, was the fifth semester, it was very tough but I managed to get through it. I had completed my graduation with no back paper in my three years of graduation, by the way.

Great and peaceful campus with a great learning experience.

Faculty: Professors were well-learned. Some of them were really brilliant and provided a great learning experience. But some teachers were not interested in teaching and were busy with their personal lives. Students could experience bias in some cases.

Best college in Kolkata, West Bengal. Take admission and start your dream.

Faculty: Course structure - including faculty qualification, curriculum mandates, and examination policies is dictated by the educational board or university. Faculty credentials, and assessment structures must align with guidelines from governing bodies like the UGC curriculum.

A bit dissatisfied with the environment here.

Faculty: Teachers were qualified and helpful. The teaching quality was not very good, but not bad either. Sometimes teachers were present but did not take classes. The course was relevant, more towards research and, to some extent, industry-oriented. The difficulty level was moderate. The pass percentage was about 80%.

Nice place, peaceful right now since 2026 and offers a great education experience.

Faculty should start teaching in English.

Faculty: I personally would not praise the faculty there. Teachers, though knowledgeable, do not teach in English. They use the Bengali language to teach, which makes it difficult for students from other states to understand.

College life is a hectic but fun life.

Faculty: Faculty members were very helpful. They were very strict, but in a good way. They did not skip classes and properly taught every subject with equal importance.

Extremely well-maintained reputed college.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful, and they are also well qualified. Their teaching is good enough to acquire the main idea of the topic. The course curriculum is extremely relevant at content writing, journalism sectors, etc. It doesn't make students properly industry-ready but it's an approach of taking steps forward to the goal. The semester exams are partially tough but regular interactions make it easy to get passing marks. The average pass percentage is above 90 percent. We have been given a 4-y...

Good infrastructure and facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. They guide you through all your doubts. They are very qualified teachers. It makes students industry-ready if they study regularly instead of expecting the teachers to just give them marks. The exams are pretty good too with proper invigilation.

College is pretty average. I would recommend not expecting much, it's a good college for commerce.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. The curriculum is relevant, but it didn't make students industry-ready. They have to focus on themselves to get ready for the industry. Exams are pretty decent, and the pass percentage is around 85%. Sometimes they didn't give a good score because of bias.
