Well, I applied for Bethune college, Bangabasi College, Seth Anandram Jaipuria College and City College. Out of which my name came on the merit list of all the college but I chose City College because it was very convenient for me to travel there. I was not rejected from any on the college I applied. The eligibility criteria for City College is atleast 50% marks in board exam. Though the cutoff are quite high and ranges between 100-70 in the particular subject you are opting for

Teachers are really helpful and hosts mentor-mentee meeting once a month. In my department (zoology) all the faculty are very helpful specially our HOD ( Dr. Debasish Karmakar) Some newly hired faculty lacks confidence and are not well awared on teaching students.( Dr. Pramita Roy) 2 exams are held each semester and they are quite difficult to pass. In semester 1 around 14 students from our batch failed to clear the exam. The course is very relevant for future opportunities.
