Balance between jobs and studies.

Faculty: Teachers are extremely helpful. The curriculum followed is quite relevant to modern-day learning. The exams are a little more difficult than the rest to maintain parity with real-life scenarios. Every student is well-groomed for jobs and higher roles.

I am fully satisfied. I would recommend to join my college, you would not be disappointed.

Faculty: Teachers were really helpful throughout the course, and they were qualified teachers as well. We were CV-ready. The 1st and 2nd semesters were not very hard, but after that, you had to work hard to get marks. You needed to work hard to score better and better to get a job.

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.

Scottish Church College - My Experience at one of the best colleges in Kolkata.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified. Their teaching style is excellent, and they are very friendly. The university mainly decides the Exam and curriculum till this year, but it has become autonomous, now it will be decided by the college. As a student pov the exam schedule is bit disturbed, but the syllabus and curriculum are great, especially the Science subjects syllabus is well aligned for further examinations (eg., IIT JAM, CUET-PG, JEST TIFR, and other competition exams).

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.

Best campus under University of Calcutta.

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.

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

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.

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.
