My review of Barasat Government College

If you want to postgraduate in Bengali the eligibility criteria is that you must have passed graduation from any renowned university. It is a 10+2+3 system. You must have 50% marks in graduation to apply here for post-graduation. The application form is on our website. Due to covid, we did not need to pay for application fees. Now as the admission process is merit-based you must have good marks to get a seat here. They will publish several merit lists and if you are on the merit list you have to pay the admission fee. Then you have to verify all your documents offline and this is a complete process. Yes for all SC/ST/OBC candidates reservation seats are available. There are 20% seats for the other university students too.

After completing graduation I wanted to pursue higher studies and I want to research Bengali literature. So I have chosen this course. We have around 10 professors and around 75 students in our PG Bengali section. So our student-faculty ratio is very good. It's approximately 7-8 students per one faculty. Our sir and ma'am are very qualified. Almost every faculty in our department have done P.hD. Their teaching method is very unique and they have taken regular online classes in a pandemic situation. In short, they are very willing to teach us and they are student-friendly. We have 4 semesters in the PG course. So we have 4 main exams and internal exams before every semester.

The fee does not increase very often. And it being a government college fee is very low compared to other colleges. Our admission fee was around Rs 5400. And for every semester the fee stays approximately 4000. Before every exam for admit card, the fee is between 600-1000. So the total fee in two years is under Rs 20000. The scholarships are available for good students. SVMCM scholarship is available for both boys & girls. But a minimum of 60% marks in graduation is required and to renew this scholarship for the 2nd year you have to get more than 53% marks in the first two semesters. The scholarship amount is 24000 per year. For the girls Kanyashree scholarships are available. Those who got over 45% marks can avail themselves of these scholarships. For minority candidates, a small number of scholarships are available name OASIS

In our Bengali department, we celebrate several cultural programs and we are encouraged to perform in those programs. Vivek Jayanti, Rabindra Jayanti, International mother language day, Teacher's day, Fresher's programs, and many more programs are organized every year. We have a very good library. We can find departmental books and many other varieties of books like novel short story magazines journals etc. We can take a book home for study purposes too. Our classroom is medium in size. Our classrooms are kept clean and we have good quality benches. We have a student union group. They organize annual functions and annual sports programs. Many students join this. We have hostel facility and wifi facility on our campus
