Maheshtala College Kolkata, B.Com, General

Reviewed on Jun 7, 2020

Remarks

Maheshtala College is situated in Kolkata, West Bengal, and offers 6 courses, and specialization. Courses are offered for science, commerce and arts. The campus is vast. This college is also helpful if youre pursing some other course while studying here.

Course Curriculum Overview

A year has 2 semesters thus accordingly there are 2 semester-end exams. The course curriculum is credit based and is dependent on, apart from final exams, other things. Varied subject combinations are available. 80% of final score is assessed in semester-end exams, and the rest 20% includes projects, internal tests, and class participation.

Placement Experience

The placement bit is not as impressive because most jobs available were for the level of 10+2 students. I am not aware of the situation now, but when I was studying here, I did not know of any internships. Even if there were, I had to pay attention on CA, thus I have no idea about stipend and work.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is different for different courses, and various subject combinations offered. B.Com: ?2235- ?2410 In comparison to other colleges of the same level, our college is quite affordable, considering it offers science, commerce and arts.

Campus Life

There is a non-political Students' Union, which is voluntary. Students can join if they like. They hold events like Nabin Baran Utsav (Freshers' Welcome), Annual Sports, Teacher's Day, Football Tournament. They celebrate festivals of Milad-un-Nabi, Rakhi Bandhan Utsav, and much more.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel facility is available. Ladies Hostel is funded by UGC's financial assistance. It is on sharing basis. In case of flooding demands and less number of rooms, PG can be found near the college campus at affordable rates.

Admission

I had scored 75% in 10+2, and was studying Commerce. Hence B.Com was the right choice for me. Also because I was pursuing CA along with college, so B.Com was not much of a stress. Admission process was a little lengthy but eventually, it was worth it.

Faculty

The teachers are qualified in their subject and professional in nature. I can say on my part, that they lent their full support to me. I had some difficulties while also pursuing CA, but they helped me with important notes. Because of such caring teachers, I could very well balance my time doing both CA and college.

Faculty is serious and everything happens on time with proper functioning.
I liked the food of my hostel Raman abas that's unique because hostel generally provide average food.
I liked my batchmates, seniors and my hostel mates. They're just love.

Dislikes

The hostel and faculty infrastructure is very old need replacement asap.
Rural location of colleges so urban access of blinkit,zomato etc is unavailable.
Placement numbers here is too short university need to work on that.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Honestly, I was preparing for neet but after neet i was very clear that i want to do this(Agriculture). Practical cum theory approach here will make you a awared man in this field. Placements and Governments seats after UG is very competitive although. In upcoming future everyone will going to focus on larger production in limited land/cultivation area so Agriculture will be needed today and tomorrow.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.

Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.
