Lady Brabourne College Kolkata, BA {Hons.}, English

Reviewed on Nov 18, 2022(Enrolled 2020)

Remarks

The entrance exam should be held consistently, some years based on merit. Cut off usually above 90%considering the best of 3 or 4 subjects. Reservation is available- sc, st,obc. Lots of scholarships are given from college.

Course Curriculum Overview

Exams were held according to the Calcutta University schedule once in 6 months and according to the syllabus of CBS cu. If one studies well it is possible to score good marks. I choose BA eng Hons as I liked the subject English and I knew I could pursue graduation in this very well. The faculty members are great and clear doubts by taking extra classes and teach also very well. Highly qualified professors have done Ph.D. and some also have a doctorate. As there are fewer students in a class around 25 so interaction is possible very well.

Class Size: 25Course Fees: INR 5000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Hardly internships are given from college so people usually go for outside placements hence no stipend one has to go for internships available outside the college. I am not much aware of internships as we didn't come across anything like that

Placement Experience

2.5

Usually 6 semester students get placed also very few. Almost 2-3 companies' visit packages are usually not up to the mark. The package is usually around 4 lac I would pursue post-graduation. Career counseling and orientations are done most of them go abroad for post-graduation.

Fees and Financial Aid

Usually companies like tcs , techno , Infosys come to give placements. College organises career counseling by bringing various companies also provides opportunities to help you pursue studies abroad by discussion and orientations . Ample of scholarships are provided by college upto 25k from oasis ,svcshm, k2, etc. Salary usually around 4lakh per annum. Also has medical facilities and gym

Campus Life

No is such an annual fest but Intra college competition is there and also winter sports day and the annual day are organized. The library is also tucked with ample of books to borrow and read according to one's interest. Ample extracurricular activities are there

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Hostel fees are decent, security of students should be taken proper care of. Good is fine. Washrooms must be improved. Very few hostel seats are available and most of those who stay far away could not get a hostel due to the limited number of seats. Most of my classmates stayed on pg.

Hostel Fee: INR 12000 per year

One of the things i liked the most was the quality of lecture given by the professors
The campus is very spacious the college has every facility
A fully equipted studio and lab for Journalism students

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

Likes

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.

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

Lady Brabourne College: Is it worth it?

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. I got rejected from Presidency University since I was not able to make the cut-off there, but LBC was my second choice, so I am kind of okay with it. 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
