Behala College B.Sc Review By Anmol Pandey

Behala College has a distinct history as it's a college that's not a new college. The college has a rich history of nearly 60+ years. In coming years various master degree courses will also be offered by the college.

I studied B.Sc Mathematics from this college. There is no as such requirement for enrollment in any of the courses. You should just have a decent score in class 12 boards nearly around 60% or above then you can enroll in any of the courses and if you want to study courses like Computer, Math, Chemistry, or any other course. My motive for joining the course was simple just to pursue B.Sc Mathematics and take a degree and after that sit for government exams and foreign university exams. That’s why I enrolled in this course. This college provides different perspectives as they have NCC in their college and those students who want to pursue their dream in NCC and want to be an officer in the armed forces, NCC will help you a lot. This college has an NCC army division and open air force division.

All professors are well qualified and have decent experience. Some of the professor are highly qualified and have an experience of nearly 25+ years’ which helps the students in different ways. The students who don't have a Bengali background will face a little bit difficulty as the teacher prefer to teach in Bengali as a medium of communication but if you say that you can't understand then they will personally guide you so that you are not left behind in the courses. They follow the Calcutta University syllabus which is very tough and the teachers teach in such a way that you can pass in your paper if you make proper notes and do self study properly. They will try to teach you in such a way that you don't feel bored so that's a plus point.

Yes we do have a placement cell in our college which helps students by organising different types of seminars from different companies which will recruit the students. They will provide you a list of different courses which are helpful like web development, flying drone, etc. This year they called few companies for placement drive but sadly the students didn't want the job and some those who wanted didn't get the jobs.

There are no hostels in Behala College so if you are a student who is not a resident of Kolkata then will have to find a hostel or PG by yourself. But the college's location is in such a place that you won't find problem to find accommodation as it's a prime location. There are several pg and rental property in a very low rate. also the condition of the room are also very good. the connection of the college with other parts of Kolkata is also very good as there is railway station and a metro station in a radius of 2 km which is very helpful for students those who are also from different parts of Kolkata as students doesn't have to worry about accommodation and commuting.

The infrastructure of the college is a bit old as it's an old college but they renovate it whenever required. They have different labs like Chemistry Lab, Physics Labs, Mathematics Labs, Computer Lab, and many more. They have a very good collection of books in their library also which helps the students. They even have a gym inside the college including a basketball court which provides students coaching of different sports like basketball and handball. A student of this college represented India on international level in handball.

The campus life or my experience of the college was quite decent as they didn't forced students to have a mandatory attendance which helped me as I wasn't a resident of Kolkata so whenever I felt I just went home and the college canteen also provides a nice variety of food every time. And the quality and quantity is also quite decent. And the college organises a college fest in which renowned people are invited to entertain all the students. The college has its own college sports competition on different levels and those who excel can represent their college on further ahead levels.
