Heramba Chandra College Kolkata, B.Com {Hons.}, Accounting And Finance

Remarks

This is one of the best commerce colleges in Kolkata. The faculty includes qualified and skilled teachers. Location of the college is also convenient. This college is a favourite among commerce students so the cut off marks to get admission are high resulting in good students.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course syllabus is based on the syllabus provided by Calcutta University. The faculty is great, with some incredibly qualified teachers who really care about their students. The standard of internal exams are pretty high. I would like to give a shoutout to BBC Sir, Nirupam Sir, and our commerce Head of the Department Jayanta Sir for their excellence in coaching. BBC sir also takes care of the placement in the final year.

Class Size: 115Course Fees: INR 15000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I opted for an internship in marketing with mycaptain.in which sells online courses. The stipend was _1500 per month.

Placement Experience

There is a lot of job opportunities. We see companies visit our college for campus placement. I am not sure about the exact percentage but i heard it is great.

College Events

4.5

Everyone is welcome in all kinds of events.The Freshers' Event is awesome with participation of seniors and various performances. The college fest is the most enjoyable one where celebrities are invited to perform. Apart from that the college also celebrates Saraswati Puja and Teachers Day in a very passionate way. Excursions are organised every year with good participation. The college provides holiday on many occassions like Foundation Day, on various seminar dates etc which is much more than the actual holiday given in other colleges.

Campus Life

There is a small ground to play cricket, football and basketball. Wifi is good. The canteen is nice and clean with good food. There are two libraries - the Central Library on the top floor which is massive and the Seminar Library on the ground floor where you need to make your library cards.

Likes

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.

Good enough

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.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
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.
