Jogamaya Devi college is the morning session of Asutosh College under Calcutta University. It is located at Hazra. You can easily visit our college by metro (Jatin Das Park metro, gate no 1). Metrophobiac people can try the bus as well (Hazra Stoppage). Its timing is generally from 6.15 am to 11 am (summer) and in winter 7 am to 11.30 am. So, after attending classes in the morning you will have enough time to study or doing your preferable work. The library has all the books availability. Canteen is on the top floor, So students mainly prefer to eat outside rather than a canteen. Faculties were nice and knowledgeable. Laboratories are also good. Lab attendants were well trained. All the colleges under Calcutta University follow the same syllabus. It is not an autonomous college. Practical classes are more regular than theory classes. Students mainly depend on coachings for theory classes. Official staffs are a little bit irritated but their service depends on your behaviour too.

I decided to go to chemistry after 12 as it is my favourite subject. Faculty: Student ratio is 1: 10. All the faculties are women. All the faculties have a PhD degree and many of them also have a post-doctorate degree. At our department faculties mainly focus on the base building. Practical classes are more regular than theory class. Students depend on coaching mainly. But if greater no of students presents in the class then faculty never denies taking classes. JDC is under Calcutta University (NIRF ranking 5). Studing Chemistry under CU is really tough. You have to maintain regularity. Many students don't qualify honours at a single attempt. 40% marks ie mandatory to qualify honours. But I can give you the assurance that after passing from CU with Chemistry, you will have enough knowledge about chemistry.

During my time I was not introduced any kind of internship by my department. But you can try for internships by personal mail. You can also apply the INSA- NASI- IASc summer research fellowship programme for an internship. You have to write about your research interest in applying.

Our Jogamaya Devi College offers very fewer placements. My batch didn't get any placement. After B.Sc with Chemistry you can go for M.Sc then PhD (academic). You will also get a job in ONGC, IOCL as a chemist after clearing the gate.

Course fees are not so high. Scholarships are available for the topper and economically weaker sections. College campusing for jobs of Chemistry department is very poor. After B.Sc in Chemistry, you will not get good jobs without clearing the CSIR-NET/GATE.

Classrooms are nice like the gallery system. It can take a maximum of 100 students. But the no of seats for Chemistry (H) is near about 60. You can participate in sports. Our college is politically active. For extracurricular activities there is a team available, you can join that.

There is no hostel facility available. Students take personal PG in rent. You can get good non AC PG at Rs 3000/month. You can also go for high range. You can also avail flats in nearby areas (kali ghat, Hazra, Rabindra Sarobar, Rashbihari, Tollygunj). Metro, as well as bus connectivity, are available. You will get Bengali food mainly (fish meal). If you are vegetarian then you can also take foods from dabbawala. Some PGs also have fooding and lodging system.

Admission is completely on merit basis. There is no admission test. There is no interview round as well. If you have good marks in class 12 you will get admission. For Chemistry honours marks of Chemistry, Physics and Maths will be counted.
