It provides an excellent placement cell.

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 se...

Review of St. Xavier's.

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...

It's morning college, so if you don't mind walking up and going to a class at 6:15 AM.

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 Dhrubachand Haldar College.

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.

Good placement drives and supportive teachers.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable. The notes they provide are very helpful. Semester exams under CU are, of course, tough, but if you regularly attend classes, you can easily score well. Teachers provide helpful questions that may appear in the exams and are very cooperative. Mass Communication and Journalism is the best course. Teachers are also well-known in the field of reporting. The Economics department is also good. B.Sc. Mathematics teachers are supportive.

It is a quiet decent college.

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.

Coffee, classes, and campus life at Shri Shikshayatan College.

Faculty: The faculty members are supportive and approachable and try their level best to address every minor and major problem within academia and beyond. Though under CU, SSC organises several other workshops on hot trending topics to help students keep up with the modern world and are ready to face the competition. The exam pattern and all is followed as given by the University of Calcutta.

Dissatisfied with the lack of practical support and academic guidance from the college.

Faculty: Some of the teachers are really helpful but the rest of them are not. Though most of them are very much qualified, they get lazy when it comes to taking the classes regularly and properly. The semester exams are not very difficult but due to a lack of guidance, students don't get good results.

Scope of Scottish Church College.

Faculty: Currently, the college is affiliated with University of Calcutta. Curriculum follows CU's norms and regulations. It's set to become autonomous in the next few years, which should bring more flexibility going forward. As for the course itself, it's fairly relevant to the current industry scenario. But students shouldn't expect it to be sufficient on its own. Think of it as a foundation-building block rather than a complete package. You'll need to actively upskill and align yourself with industry ...

It is good for middle-class family students. So I will give it 6 out of 10.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, and they are all Ph.D. holders from those years. They are all enough to make a student's career successful. This course is very relevant to the students, and it makes students ready for industrial circumstances. The semester exams are above average in difficulty.

It's overall a good college, but CU just makes exams miserable.

Faculty: The teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and very healthy but they don't get much time to teach us as CU always keeps them busy with official work, examination duty, copy checking, and practical exam duty. The curriculum is very relevant but you won't get time to study. Faculty is good and supportive.
