Sivanath Sastri College Kolkata, B.Com (Honours)

Reviewed on Aug 14, 2020

Remarks

Sivanath Sastri College is one of the top colleges in Kolkata. It's a girls college. And it is the morning section of South City College. The timing of our college is favourable and we can do other activities after the lectures.

Course Curriculum Overview

Sivanath Sastri College is well known for it's commerce department faculty. Teachers are so helpful. They provided us notes and explain all the lessons. Our college is under University of Calcutta. So it follows the university syllabus and exam pattern. Our course is under CBCS system. We have to pass 6 semesters to get the degree for the applied course.80marks theory for honours paper exam. And for general paper exam 80marks multiple choice questions. 10marks internal and 10marks for attendence. One must have 60% minimum attendence to sit for the university exam.

Placement Experience

2.5

The placement cell of our college is also very capable. We have companies coming in for placements every year.

College Events

Sivanath Sastri College organize many events like Fresher's Welcome, Independence day celebration, Rangmanch ( Holi event ), Teacher's Day celebration every year. Students also participate in many fests around Kolkata and showcase their talent. There also a Drama Team and Fashion team in the college.

Campus Life

The infrastructure of our college is not that good. It's a very old building. Sometimes fans do not work properly so it is difficult for us to attend lectures in summer.Our college campus is surrounded by plants. And it also provide free Wifi connection. The size of the library is pretty good. All kinds of educational books are available there.

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.

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.
