Remarks
Our college still has a vast scope to improve upon certain aspects. Giving the students proper placements acts as a catalyst to boost their career. This, a proper placement cell would be really helpful. Also, a more participative environment to all the students equally would enhance their confidence. Our college has a systematic library and internet access within the library for us to refer to.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is expansive and contains detailed explanation of India's relations with other nations in the world arena. It also gives an insight into how Indian parliament works. The course appeared to be useful.
Internships Opportunities
Our college holds regular seminars providing us students with various social entrepreneurship ventures and opportunities to intern and get adequate internship experience. However, they are primarily tenured after college hours.
Placement Experience
The placement cell of our college is not an active one. This is one thing which needs to be improved to provide the students with job opportunities to accelerate their careers. Thus, more work needs to go behind a proper system of placement.
College Events
Since it is a convent college, we celebrate Easter and Christmas through various plays organised by the dramatics society of our college. We have an annual fest - Samagam, in which several reputed colleges of Kolkata participate. To enhance consciousness of the environment and equality of the gender, we celebrate earth, water, air day and International women's Day as well.

Admission
I had filled a form for political science and my name appeared on the merit list based on the marks obtained in classes 10, 11 and 12. It was followed by an interview conducted by the faculty of the said department, followed by an interview with the Principal of the college.
Faculty
The faculty of the college is nothing short of brilliant. Our department was headed by four teachers teaching different parts of the syllabus. They were not only cooperative with us, but led us throughout the way. They were supportive of our ideas to initiate different workshops and simulations in the department.
