What Students Say

Likes

I like how neat and clean my college always is
I absolutely love the faculty of our department
The professors and the atmosphere is absolutely amazing

Dislikes

The canteen, it has only vegetarian food so..
I'd say certain students who don't clean the toilet after using it
The fact that we're being fed and brought up in a very cosy environment, it may become a bad habit in the long run

Course Curriculum Overview

I've always loved studying English since school days. I saw my fellow classmates saying "what will you do by studying English?" and then seeing most of them opt for it because they thought it'd be an easy course but we don't talk about that. English Honours has always been my dream course and studying it here makes it even better. Thank you BESC for this.

Class Size: 170Course Fees: INR 28000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

we have a semester system so we have to pay around 28000 per semester which adds up to 56000 a year. The fees of students who have scored above 90% is as far as I know less by around 50%. As far as scholarships are concerned students get it from college with a good sgpa and cgpa.

Campus Life

My overall experience here till date is great. Before coming here I had heard that BESC is famous for only fests and fun stuffs which is true but the educational side BESC provides is unbeatable too. Astounding

Admission

I wanted to go to a college which would provide me with proper facilities and great faculty and many of my acquaintances gave me their words that BESC is the best for it. It's a great place if you are a regular student. I can go on and on top describe how great the faculty is

Faculty

the faculty to student ratio is 20:80 which is pretty great. We students have our own mentors whom we can go for help whenever needed. they always make sure to help us no matter what. Always grateful for such a faculty. The professors are always super helpful and open to all sorts of questions we come up with. The faculty of English honours is the best. We have CIAs which are pretty much easy to attend if you are regular in class.

Night Life

BESC is absolutely in the centre of all the best places. Kolkata's oldest mall, Forum is literally 2 footpaths away. There are amazing cafes surrounding our college. And the most important Netaji Bhobon, our pride is a 2 min walk from BESC. Other than that our college area is a pretty amazing place to hangout all day long as Nandan and Moidan is like 10-15 min walk from BESC.

Thk jain college review

Likes

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.

Bhawanipur education society, Kolkata

I choose this college because this college is one of the really good colleges out there in Kolkata. Also, bhawanipur education society, Kolkata is highly reputed and occupies a place under Calcutta university. I always wanted to go to Kolkata to persue my higher studies, as I'm from a commerce background and Kolkata is a hub for commerce students. The reason for choosing bhawanipur education society over other colleges was that alongwith the course-related studies it also provides with the overall development of personality. It provides us with a lot of exposure to sports, and etc. Also, the attendence criteria are quite lenient, which helps the students to pursue other courses alongwith. The drawback I would say, is the marks-based section divisions amongst the students also, that it doesn't have a society as such which becomes a barrier in overall exposure....Read More
