Goenka College of Commerce and Business Administration B.Com Review By Aayushi Sinha

Every teenager wants to live a college life in their high school. Bollywood movies, OTT series all made cherry on their fantasy's college cake. I also dreamt of my college to be cool as they show on TV. I took commerce as my main stream in high school, When the results were declared in May, 2015. I started looking for good colleges in Kolkata and the first name it highlighted was St. Xaviers College but that was autonomous and I wanted to be a part of a University. So I started looking for best colleges of commerce in Calcutta University and my college name popped up. It was Goenka College of Commerce And Business Administration. I secured good marks in 12th examination so I got a place in this college. I did my graduation in B.com (Honors) in this college. It is the best college in Kolkata, West Bengal. It's purely a Government College. Reasonable fees for admission, tuition fees. I completed my course in Rs.3000/-. So, I would like to suggest this college to you. You just have to score good marks in Boards and there you are on the merit list of this college.

My course was B.com (Honors in Accounting and Finance). There are BBA, MBA, M.Com courses also in this college. Entry requirements were 90% above in boards. You can fill the form online and wait for the list to come. Colleges in Calcutta University make merit list on the basis of your marks in Boards. If You secure good marks you will get direct admission in this college. Eligibility criteria for general students is above 90 in boards and for reserved students above 85.

My faculty teachers were fun, respected Govt. professors, highly educated and a good sense of teaching and disciplined. They teach in the most common language i.e., English. As it was in West Bengal, locals also studied there if they find problem in English, by requesting teacher they also teach in Bengali, their native language. So, it was very thoughtful for them. Classes are in morning as well as in afternoon. Some Professors are same in both the shift and some are guest faculty for certain subjects in this course.

There are two blocks in my college and both are attached to each other. There are passages inside the building so that you can move from each block to another. One block is for administrative purpose and the other for the classes, auditorium, sports section. There are common rooms separately for boys and girls. There are sports rooms where sports equipments are there. There is a gym in our campus. There is another Table tennis room. Classrooms are large as capacity for each class room is 90-100 students.

Campus life is too cheerful in this college. There are fests which are held in September month of every year. The fest name for the college is "QUEST". It is a 3-day fest with all the co-curricular activities and competition for each activity are held in day time and fashion show, DJ night and celebrity show are in night time. People from various colleges come to attend the quest. You will get the passes from the college campus only and you can get as many passes you want. That's whole a festive season for the students there. Saraswati Puja is also conducted in college campus with a special lunch held for the students and staffs.
