Kolkata Heritage:City College
Likes
- This College is super affordable, fits into your budget.Why to waste money money for Bcom course by going to private colleges when it's super affordable in this City College is one of the oldest colleges in Kolkata.Can you believe it's 145 years old?
Dislikes
- This College building is 145 years old making it a Kolkata heritage but it's interiors are not very impressive.It looks vintage but the cracks on walls,the damped ceiling will horrify you a little.Worst is the behaviour of staffs at it's office.
Remarks :
When I took admission in City College,I opted for other colleges too(all were government aided colleges),I didn't have money to take admission in luxurious private colleges.The other colleges I opted for,were quite far from my home and the transportation is quite complex while City College is quite easy to reach with various transportation mediums available for all.Also City College is one of the oldest colleges in Kolkata and the building looks absolutely vintage.So I chose City College over other colleges I opted for.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Commerce is necessary for survival.You learn about a business, marketing although Bcom is very common and underrated nowadays but it's a good affordable option to complete graduation.Bcom opens path to many professions.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
When I took admission I was charged 3350 rs only for first semester and for the second semester I've paid 520 rs.Estimatedly,I have to pay 7000-8000 rs all total for my 3 year Bcom general course.CU takes other charges for exams and all.
Campus Life :
City College actually arranges nice events such The Sangrila is very famous event which is arranged by only City College,It is arranged generally during the Durga Puja month with painting competitions, Dancing competitions, Singing competitions and much more.Guests are invited during those Sangrila nights.Another famous event is The Annual Social of City College,last time it was arranged in Netaji Indoor Stadium with performance of The Fossils and Darshan Raval.The class rooms are very old and teaching techniques are traditional too!Annual Sports day is also arranged every year.The Students Council can be a boon for some and annoyance for some as well,if you're part of it you have to go on processions and all.
Faculty :
The classes are not very regular so are the faculty members which is very common in Government colleges nowadays.The faculties teach well though,The Head of the department of Commerce is a very smart and good teacher.The exams are taken before CU external exams.The question papers are quite standard but the marks are given on an average basis.The students who does Student's Union gets unfair advantages sometimes.
