B.A. LL.B. - Batch of 2030
Offered by Heritage Law College

Best campus under University of Calcutta.
Placements: Campus placements are zero because companies do not come to our campus. That is why our campus placements are zero. But the value of the B.A. LL.B. degree is very good because Heritage Law College is affiliated with Calcutta University.
Infrastructure: The campus infrastructure is very good. The classrooms have AC, and the library is very good. Hostels are available, but only for girls and not for boys. The hostel food is good, but the canteen food is of very good quality. The sports and games facilities are also very good.
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.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com. Hons.) - Batch of 2027
Offered by Goenka College of Commerce and Business Administration

Goenka College is an abode of success with pillars of history.
Placements: As for B.Com, not many companies come here. The placement faculty has deteriorated compared to previous batches. Expectations for placements are very low. After B.Com, you can secure some internships, but a good placement offer might not be something you can expect much after B.Com.
Infrastructure: The building is old and has no renovation. The computer labs are not maintained, and the library is not maintained. There is no canteen. There is no hostel, so you need a PG to reside here. The campus is awful, with no regular cleaning and no proper maintenance. The classrooms are the same old ones, with no smart boards or anything.
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.
Other: There are no fests or events due to political influence. Not many events happen here now.

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.

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.
