Entrance Preview
I didn't have to sit in any exam for opting this course in this college. It was open for all and it had a cut out marks, i.e., getting first division in higher secondary examinations. I chose sociology as it deals with the various points of society and social beings. I wanted to learn sociology because it had many scopes too in future.
Course Curriculum Overview
I did an honours course in sociology. The syllabus was vast but immensely interesting. There were two parts Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 involved 2 years and Part 2 involved 1 years. In the first part i had to study sociology along with two other pass subjects and for me they were economics and political science along with english, bengali and environmental studies.
Internships Opportunities
No stipends were given as there were no internships held in our college. It is a general college and not a tech college.
Placement Experience
There were no placements or no companies came to the campus as it was a general college rather than a tech college in my times. But yes graduating from Asutosh College was considered good as it was a renowned college in our city Kolkata. Students passing out do get much opportunities.
College Events
The list consist of the following-- saraswati puja, college feast, freshers welcome, teachers day, fairwell parties, annual day drama, singing and dancing competitions, band contests, party anniversaries, foundation day celebrations, cultural meets. All events were well organised. Most of the students participate in various segments. Prizes were organised along with bouquets for professors to felicitate every ones hardwork.
Fee Structure And Facilities
It was very much feasible in the year 2004. My total yearly fee was Rs 7000. Monthly i had to pay Rs.91 and I had to donate for party funds too. Books were expensive but mostly available in college library and also in City Libraries.
Fees and Financial Aid
No I have no idea about any scholarship or loan facilities that were offered by college. But yes appreciations in terms of money were rewarded. Also if shown that one cannot afford then sponsors were searched and appointed.
Hostel Facilities
I didn't opt for hostels or pgs or mess. But I did hear them to be qualitative enough. The food was good and the hostel facility was limited to fewer students. The rooms were small but clean. The food was average. PG rentals were mostly for Rs. 1000 to Rs. 1500 at the max without food. Food was available around the college campus.
Exam Structure
The exams structure was very good and not at all tiring or overcrowded. Half yearly and annual exams were taken other than main board exams but they didn't exhaust us as it was much needed as to know where I stood. Other than these weekly assessments were taken by professors in regular intervals.
Admission
I was keeping an eye on the college notifications of various colleges and when I heard about this one i rushed to get it. I had to stand in a long queue with my father from early morning. Around the noon, i got my form after submission of a nominal charge.
Faculty
Our faculty was one of the best ones. From our H.D to the lecturers they were great teachers. They took utmost care and invest in much quality time to illustrate each topic in details. Proper notes were read out by all teachers and professors every day that helped us a lot. All works were done in class leaving a lot less to do at home.
