Reviewed on Sep 25, 2020

Remarks

Fees structure is affordable ie 5430 per year. Besides this it is one of the reputed evening colleges in kolkata where regular classes are being held by qualified teachers and recently the college is focusing on extra curriculum activities. Overall the college timings and a healthy atmosphere irrespective of the gender of the students make this college a perfect pick if you're looking for an evening college. The location is also a factor to maintain a good attendance percentage. It is located near Gariahat.

Course Curriculum Overview

Syllabus was the same as appointed by Calcutta University which focuses on all topics like Business, Information Technology, Statistics, Economics (Macro & Micro), Costing, Taxation, Accountancy etc etc There is no such industrial exposure. Commerce faculty and arts faculty are available here. Out of which commerce faculty is more renowned between the two.

Class Size: 15Course Fees: INR 16290 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Placemets are for those who choose the Mcom degree generally. Where mostly the candidates are hired by PWC.

College Events

4.5

Absolutely fun, moreover it is balanced life with fun and studies as well. College hosts freshers for new students every year. A social and an annual sports function along with seasonal picnics and trips which you shouldn't miss.

Campus Life

Wifi is obviously provided in the faculty along with a small ground where u can play football cricket volleyball & badminton. A common room is provided for indoor games like carrom & table tennis. Library is a great place to visit if you're a silent reader. Therese is no lab as there is no science faculty. And the class rooms and the building presents its historic value. The classes are complemented by its unique big sized windows which welcomes fresh air into the rooms.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

Buliding a strong Foundation for higher studies and PSC preparation

Dislikes

Classrooms are sometimes overcrowded, the library has limited updated resources.
Placement support is minimal for courses like History.
There is limited digital access - poor wi-fi Connectivity and lack of e-library facilities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant and theory-rich, ideal for further academic pursuits like UPSC and PSC. I chose History Honours for its analytical depth. Exams are semester-based, moderate tough. Teaching can improve with more discussions and digital learning tools.

Exploring College Life: Unveiling the Prafulla Chandra Experience

Well there wasn't any as such entrance exam in our college(Prafulla Chandra College). Admission forms were distributed in the college portal and we had to chenk and fill it up. We had to mention our 10th and 12th grade with best of 4 marks. The eligibility criteria was to have atleast 40 marks(H.S) in the subject in which honours is to be taken. Rather than that we must have had atleast 40 marks in the language paper(H.S). We had to attach our marksheets of 10th and 12th board exam as .jpeg format. The fees of B.COM Hons. is 5500/- yearly basis. For B.COM General is around 5000/- yearly. After 12th examamination college updates its application form and uploard it in the college portal. Rather than B.COM we've B.A and B.SC streams too. Students can select their language in the 1st semester only i.e, english/bengali. Sice it's a night college, attendence is not an issue. The internals are conducted in our college in the online medium. Absolutely there are benefits for the caste students....Read More
