Shibli National College B.A Review By Arsalan Azmi

Shibli National College is one of the oldest Colleges in India, established in 1883 during freedom movement. It provides a good environment for shaping your future goals. Its academic faculties provide a healthy and good environment. Most of the professors are well experienced not just in academics but in practical and make the concepts easy to understand. It is the best college, especially if you live in Purvanchal (Eastern U.P).

The College offers various courses from UG to PG; it includes BA, B.Sc, BBA, LL.B, ITI, M.Sc, Ph.D, etc. If you want to take admission in this college, then you can appear in its Entrance Test, which is held annually, mostly in the month of June/July. You can fill the entrance form through its official website.

The faculties are highly qualified in their respective areas. All of them are Ph.D degree holders from Central Universities like AMU, JNU, etc. The faculties are approachable and always willing to help students even outside the classroom with queries and research. They encourage the students to think critically and engage in academic activities.

As per my knowledge, Shibli College does not have any placement cell. But they do have a strong Alumni Base which can help you to get a placement.

Shibli College does not have a Boys hostel. It has only a Girls hostel. As per my knowledge, it has all the basic facilities which are required to fulfill the daily needs of the students.

One of the major drawbacks is its infrastructure. While the academic and campus life are good, the facilities and infrastructure are not up to the mark. The classrooms are basic, and many lecture rooms are not equipped with modern facilities such as Smart Board, etc. which makes it difficult to engage in certain classes.

The social and extracurricular life at college is vibrant. Plenty of sports and culture events that are held on a monthly/quarterly basis to engage the students in the celebration of vibrant culture of our nation. The College emphasizes Sporting events over any fests, that's why it hardly organizes any fests. The College also promotes students led initiatives.
