Lady Brabourne College Kolkata, MA, Political Science

Reviewed on Nov 4, 2021(Enrolled 2018)

Remarks

I did my graduation at LBC and got so delighted with the experience that I decided to pursue my PG here only. LBC has been ranked 50th by IndiaToday and 39th by The Week 2021 for their respective Arts rankings 2021. The college works under University of Calcutta and also has NAAC accreditation to its name. Admission to the MA- PS course at LBC is based on the Merit in the qualifying exam.

Course Curriculum Overview

When I was thinking about my graduation program I had to research a lot but at the time of PG I just decided to go further in tje field by pursuing a Master's in the same domain which is why I chose MA Political Science. The course was of 2 Years and had a total of 4 semesters. The faculty of our department was really passionate and they were all Doctorate degree holders. It was really a great time period to do my PG in the same college where I did my UG degree.

Class Size: 16Course Fees: INR 27174 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Yes, I have worked in Internships but not through college. I joined one of the many online methods to search for work opportunities and It certainly helped me to get good experience and confidence. I worked in an unpaid internship but due to my good work they offered me another Internship but this time it was Paid.

Placement Experience

The Placement drive is organised annually for Final year students and most of the recruiters belong to the Commerce field. Being from Political Science, I was aware there wouldn't be that high chance of placements and thus I haven't appeared in the round. I had a well built future plan and wanted to work continuously to achieve that. During 2020, the average package for the college was nearly INR 3 LPA. Firms such as IBM, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant etc visit LBC for placement.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Various Scholarships are there such as, Memorial Prize (Roma Chaudhuri) which is given to the best Academic performer are available at LBC, Kolkata. The college also has Govt based Merit scholarships. However,the total fee for the MA degree here is INR 27,174 & students can easily afford it even without any such financial benefit.

Campus Life

4.5

The thing that I liked the most about the college was that it helped students to avail good academic knowledge and also grow their personalities through the co-curricular activities organised. The Student Welfare Committee took care of all student related issues and there were separate cells for Sports, Cultural and Industrial events. Our college library was filled with 1 Lac+ books across Art's,Science and Commerce fields. Along with that, a canteen, auditorium was also there at LBC.

Hostel Facilities

The college has a Hostel situated just beside the college premises and it is given to students belonging to Outstations. The hostel includes well organised Mess facilities and the quality as well as taste of food is commendable. The rooms in the hostel are provided on sharing and for those seeking some additional facilities in the rooms extra fee is charged. However, the overall experience is good both in term of prices and services.

Hostel Fee: INR 15000 per year

Admission

Students who have completed their Graduation in the field of Political Science are eligible for the MA -PS programme at LBC. Students who have completed their graduation with the minimum marks eligibility can apply and the selections are based entirely on the Merit prepared.

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.

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

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.

The Framework is said to be great, with well equipped classroom and simply get to the libraries.
The offices at this college are great. In any case, these changes depending on the quality of the companies going by the college and the victory of the internship changes by the internship.
Understudies appreciate the campus life and flexibility to associate with others understudies. However, there are few impediments such as the division of floors between senior and junior. College life is nice and could be an inviting place for others

Dislikes

The college doesn't have lodging, and understudies must organize their settlement locally.
The college doesn't have a big field to play like any other big college

Placement Experience:

In Syamaprasad College placements and internships are given to the final year students. And the companies that offer placements are Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. The highest package goes up to 20-24 lakhs and the average package goes to 6-8 lakhs. 70-80% of students get their placement in my college. At that time I planned to get the degree and apply to a multinational company with a high salary package with company facilities.

Everything you need to know before taking admission in Lady Brabourne College

I initially applied to Presidency University, Scottish Church College, Loreto College, Bethune. Taking the overall environment and faculty into consideration ( non union college) I opted for this college. Faced a rejection from Presidency and Loreto...but got into the rest two. The admissions are based off of 12th marks strictly. No other exams are accepted. One has to score very high to get into this college. Gen- above 95 Obc- 85 above Sc -75 above The above assumptions are just rough. One might be lucky enough to get into this college with lower marks or be unfortunate to not get into with much higher marks. Let's say a safe 90 above should be scored regardless of category. Luck opens to a lot of students during the later rounds of admission....Read More

I got chance in a lot of different colleges under CU, State University, and Kalyani University, but chose this one since this is a reputed one with no political influence.

We are admitted through merit list which depends on your 12th marks and marks of your major subject. It is a merit based admission process....Read More
