Scottish Church College B.A Review By Sresthargha Paul

Studying in an institution with a legacy of more than 195 years as well as currently one of the best college under Calcutta University (under NIRF ranking) was a dream for me which came true due to God's blessings and I am now in the climax of my college life and this college has given me a beautiful and memorable college life not only from academics perspective but also from co-curricular activities like debating, sports, cultural activities etc. I actually got a lot of scope in various field in order to gain more experience of real life.

I am currently pursuing Political Science, and our syllabus is completely based on Calcutta University therefore we get a compact syllabus easy to learn. We have renowned aluminous from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Swami Vivekananda to Mithun Chakraborty, etc the list is very long. Academically also SCC followed the standards of CU perfectly giving a meaningful knowledge to the students.

I am currently pursuing political science and my professors including our HOD sir are very good, they maintain the balance between the professional life and informal student-teacher relationship. We have learnt a lot of things which actually can't be described in words, not only from academic perspective but also for other life related issues. Their advices are like Bhramahastras of our life. In conclusion our faculties are top notch professor of Kolkata, providing the best education to us and clearing all our doubt in an easiest way possible.

Yes we do have a placement cell and infact we are one of the handful of colleges in CU which has a placement cell. However, to be very honest one should not expect high from this sector because in overall although students get jobs but still the salaries are not very lucrative and average salary is 2.5-4 L.P.A that too if you are a very good student. Although it is less but our college is only one of the few colleges that does have such kind of thing which most of the government colleges of the Kolkata don't have.

To be honest I don't stay in hostel but I often visited over there as many of my friends stay over there. Our hostels are aesthetic pieces of art specially boys hostel. We have separate boys and girl’s hostel which are again almost more than 100 years old with proper infrastructure, security and food facilities. Scottish Hostels are some of the best college hostels of Kolkata but yeah as the standards are high the rent of the hostel is little bit on the higher side but I would say seeing the facilities and infrastructure it's completely worth it. Hostel have separate cultural programs and events which make every one grow closer to each other.

From the above statements I hope you get clear idea of the infrastructure of our college. Our college campus is a fusion of old heritage with modern equipments, proper boys and girls common rooms, gym, playground, 2 canteens, auditorium, clean campus, beautiful small gardens, projectors and all kinds of facilities what a student needs to study. Our library is one of the largest and oldest book collection in Kolkata. Beside that we also have student cheap store where everything is relatively cheaper. Overall we have Excellent infrastructure compared to other government colleges.

Campus life is great especially if you live in a hostel and you are part of NSS group. Besides that college host lots of nationals and international seminars and cultural program in order to gain more student engagement. The famous song SWEET HEART written by Anindya sir of famous band Chandrabindu has actually showcased the campus life of Scottish beautifully from a bachelor boy's perspective.
