Surendranath College Kolkata, BA, Assamese

Remarks

This is one of the oldest colleges of Kolkata and being a honors student I always looked for better opportunities and better faculties and also best facilities. And in this college I have found that. The faculties and the facilities have impressed me to select this college and also the library attracts me a lot. As per my conditions I have choose this one.

Course Curriculum Overview

From my point of view the curriculum is very much industry ready as per the recent industry and internship providing company works and as per their requirements and all. Apart from that the faculties are really helpful and they are also very much student friendly. The library has the best affection for me. I used to spent the rest hours of my college in the library and reading the books and journals.

Course Fees: INR 9500 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

The job opportunities are not for the B.A. students, B.Com students can get the job opportunities like 60% of the students got placed last year. But for us the college is providing the internship offers that we can grab easily and these are all paid internship offers. The placement department is doing well to get placed the students according to their choices and skills.

College Events

The campus life is really very enjoyable. The students and the teachers have organised the freshers party last year which was very enjoyable. Apart from that the authority organised the cultural fests which made the platform to showcase our talent and the place where lots and lots talents get the stage and the audience too. There are lots of competitions going on every month and students can participate that which is really very enjoyable moments for us.

Scottish Church College: A Journey Worth Remembering

Likes

Fixed timetable Classes, regular assessment and class test
The professors are very qualified and their teaching style is excellent.
A lot of books are available in the main library as well as in the department library

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum of Calcutta University is aligned with other entrance examination (eg.IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, GATE etc.) Specially for the Physics BSc course. And the syllabus is updated Artificial intelligence bacis, Python Advance level is in syllabus, it's completed in college. Point to be Noted - The time given to prepare for the exam is sometimes ample but sometimes it is very less. So we have to prepare syllabus in time which is little bit frustrating.

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.

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.

I applied for many college not only Surender nath I apply in Balurghat Kuwait college Siliguri college Raiganj University and Ashutosh college and also surendranath College where I am now study in. The reason of choice this college is the college is very good and there is no ragging issue even the college authorities are take strict action for ragging issues the professors are very good and their very caring and harmful and the college is to closer from Shailesh station where I can easily private for my home and college in under of the prestigious University called Calcutta University that's why I take admission in this college. I am not rejecting of any college where I applied but I choose surendranath because this college is suitable for my situations and I happy to study in this college. The process of a admission in our college is to apply online for the admission you should have 70% number in the subject which you want to take honours. After few days of feeling admission from ,college take out a merit list where you can search your name and if you found your name in merit list you can take admission in our college by paying the admission fees....Read More
