Feels budget friendly, well-reputed, campus and crowd are quite good.

Faculty: The teachers are biased and partial. Almost every teacher performs favouritism in the college. Classes are not conducted or organized professionally or efficiently. The curriculum is not relevant, however, a new syllabus which is somewhat modern and relevant is being introduced and will be adapted in 2026. Until now, students are not made industry-ready by the college itself. Semester exams are ridiculously scheduled. Some exams are taken 10 months later, and the subsequent ones are conducted wi...

Great value for money, very safe for women. Infrastructure is also great.

Faculty: All the teachers are well qualified, not only that, but also they teach their subject extremely well, and they are very approachable when you come up to them with any kind of trouble, they help you out. The course curriculum focuses on the basics.

Very good infrastructure and experienced faculty.

Faculty: Our professors are highly experienced and very proficient in their field of work. Their classes are always exam oriented. Frequent assessment through class tests also made us exam ready from day 1. The professors are really friendly and helpful towards the students.

Asutosh College can be a good option if you want to pursue a B.Sc. in Statistics in Kolkata.

Faculty: Teachers are well-experienced and knowledgeable. This course doesn't make students industry-ready (you have to learn other skills like Excel, Power BI, and at least basic coding). The course is mathematics-based so it's all concept-based. The passing percentage of semester exams is 40 percent for every paper.

It has good faculty members and a campus with a clean and good environment.

Faculty: Our college has good faculty members and teachers. They are helpful with seamless communication, even via WhatsApp. Regular classes and attendance are encouraged by teachers. Full help is provided from their end to solve any queries of students. Class tests are also conducted every once in a while, along with presentation demos.

Colleges are good for students.

Faculty: Faculty members are good, cooperative, and knowledgeable. The new curriculum is relevant but does not follow the exact curriculum of the college. The exam's difficulty level is medium, the internal examination is too easy, and the external examination is set by the university, which is moderate.

The college has excellent faculty but poor infrastructure.

Faculty: Faculty members are great, very helpful, and knowledgeable. They help with all problems and even reply on WhatsApp. They are well qualified for the job. The excellent faculty is the main reason I took admission to this college. I haven’t appeared in any semester exam yet, so I’m not sure about the difficulty level.

BESC is the best, as with the slogan of the college, it's true.

Faculty: Calcutta University lags much in conducting semester exams. They take too much time. Every year, they start the semester on time. But the 1st semester itself takes 8-9 months for the exams. Hence, all the semesters get disturbed and delayed. There are no internals/Mid-semester in B.Com at this college.

It's one of the best colleges in Kolkata.

Faculty: If the students study well, the semester exams are not difficult. Failure percentage is 5-10%. The teachers are so well-educated and are qualified. The teachers are knowledgeable, and they teach with a lot of effort to make the students understand.

The college has supportive and experienced faculty, structured curriculum, good infrastructure.

Faculty: Faculty is supportive and knowledgeable. Some could be more engaging. The curriculum is well structured. It covers core concepts, but needs more practical and updated content. Exam system is organized with moderate difficulty. That fairly tests understanding.

Good learning atmosphere with impressive infrastructure and supportive environment.

Faculty: Our faculty are very helpful, well-qualified and knowledgeable. Most teachers have PhD degrees. Even though each teacher has their own style, almost all of them try to include case law discussions, class debates, or small activities so we don't get bored with only theory. The teacher-student ratio is pretty decent. There are 9 semester exams and one practical exam. To pass the semester, you need to get 30% marks.

My experience at Heritage Law College.

Faculty: Our faculty members are highly educated and experienced in their respective fields. They are very helpful and friendly and always available to help us quench our curiosity and solve any problem we might have regarding our academics. The curriculum is very in-depth and well articulated, which helps us in real-life scenarios. Other than semester exams, we also have numerous class tests, viva, and moot courts, which not only prepare us for final exams but also help us in our careers.

Modern infrastructure, strong CU affiliation, and decent corporate placements with activities.

Faculty: The teachers are well qualified with experience and they motivate, give personal guidance, mentor, and some subject is not revealed, like ENVS, CVA, etc. These are old, but some faculty are friendly and focus on every student, we understand the Calcutta University, so it makes us challenging to score well in exams and college.
