Tara Devi Harakh Chand Kankaria Jain College B.Com Review By Aishwarya Ray

I am glad to write a review on such a prestigious college Tara Devi Harak Chand Kankaria Jain College, Kolkata. It's popularly known as THK Jain College. THK Jain is a private college that is affiliated to the University of Calcutta. It has B+ Accreditation from NAAC. Though it's a minority college established by Shree S.S. Jain Sabha but you will never feel any kind of discrimination or partiality inside the college campus except a reservation of few Jain students during admission. They even offer scholarships for eligible students. I took admission in the year 2019 with a scholarship that provided me a fee concession of ten thousand in my academic fees. I am currently studying B.Com (Hons.) from this College and my experience has been great till now. The college offers a range of undergraduate courses in science, arts and commerce all under the curriculum of the University of Calcutta. We all know the value of studying at Calcutta University (CU) and here you will have the perks of both CU and a Private college. THK Jain is a very well-disciplined college. You will never face any type of discrimination, ragging or misbehave from the students. Though it’s a co-ed college but boys and girls are segregated into different sections.

I enrolled for B.Com (Hons.) and I am in my second year of college. Unfortunately, I was not able to spend much time inside my college campus as the whole world is suffering from corona virus. My admission process was very simple. We just fill the admission form online and submit the documents by visiting the college campus. They give scholarships to the students who scored good marks in their boards. I am glad to say that, I got a scholarship that will reduce my academic fees every year. The professors of my course are great. They gave us practical knowledge and also encourage us to give speeches at seminars and participate in inter- college competitions. Today, only bcom can’t help us to fetch a good job no matter from which college you passed out. You have to take an additional professional course for good a package.

The Faculty members are very dedicated. You will never find a professor to sit idle in the class. They are always on time and ensure that all the students enter the class on time. They don’t allow any misbehave or disrespect. Most of the teachers are very friendly and teaches in a very lucid language. The faculties are highly qualified in their fields and have different experiences. Some of the teachers have passed out from the very same college. But what I experienced was their teaching style was very unique and helpful.

There is no facility for campus placement. I have never heard from my seniors especially in our department about placement. The college needs to progress more to offer placement opportunities to their students.

There is no hostel facility available in THK. But one can easily get many PG near the campus. My classmates used to stay in PG or rented flat which are really affordable and near the college.

The campus is full of greenery and also has a little pool with some fishes in it. It’s really beautiful. It includes a G+4 well constructed building which has 34 class rooms, laboratories and library, separate common rooms for boys and girls, administrative block, teachers' rooms, two audio-visual rooms, multipurpose hall, board room and currently it has 2 cafeterias in both the cafes you will get veg food items. It has a big playground to environment the students to participate in sports activities, in addition to that volleyball and basketball courts as well. The washrooms, classrooms and laboratories are very clean and tidy. Overall the infrastructure is quite good.

My campus experience in THK was blissful. I encountered with some great seniors who taught me basketball and make my college life memorable. Our college fest i.e. Ripples and the fresher party is one of the best events. It gives a good competition to other colleges. In 2019, the famous singer Jubin Nautiyal was invited. We were charged no extra amount for the pass. The fests help us to show our talents and have fun. Unlike other colleges, it provides great safety inside the campus. The students participate in the competition conducted by other colleges and I am ecstatic to say that they have won uncountable number of competition. You will have a bunch of memories with knowledge from THK.
