What Students Say

Likes

Faculty is great here at LBC. They are highly qualified and knowledgeble.
Campus ground is something that holds a special place for the brabournites
Both the canteens here are well stocked and has a warm vibe

Dislikes

Some of the classrooms are not well maintained in the RC building

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose Political Science because I have a personal inclination towards the subject and getting to study my dream subject from one of the top colleges was a blessing indeed. There's a quite moderate faculty: student ratio ( 30:1). All the professors are PhD holders from reputed universities from all around India and have more than 10+ years in teaching. We have our semester exam twice a year and if you study consistently all throughout the year you won't find it difficult to hold a good SGPA.

Class Size: 30Course Fees: INR 3750 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Since it's a govt-aided college, the fee is very minimal ranging from 2500-3500 INR per semester. The college helps students in acquiring numerous scholarships like K2, K1 etc. You will find all the necessary processes handled by the college for the acquirement of educational scholarships. I am personally a holder of a K2 scholarship.

Campus Life

3.5

After covid, there was no resumption of the annual fest Kaleidoscope which is a con of LBC. LBC should make more effort in enhancing the social life and participation of students. Even though the authorities help us in taking part in inter-college competitions with other colleges, it would still be lovely if more activity is initiated at LBC. In 2022, the college held its Annual sports competition which was a huge success. Here at LBC, you can join the Drama club arranged by the English Dept. Our Library holds a ton of useful and invaluable books and journals. You can make use of both the E-library and the general library.

Admission

The admission process was clearly and simply merit-based. The cut-off went down to 90.3 % for the general category in the year 2020 for political science honours. You will find all the required notifications and links from the college's official website ladybrabourne.com. My batch had a smooth admission even though it was during the pandemic. The management was efficient with the process and we did not face any hassle.

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
