College campus is something I have a box full of memories. From college fest to programs for new comers to art fest social work and many. All the programs fetched attention and brought smile fun or experience to every student
Academics
Studied commerce..it definitely helped me to to gain knowledge as teachers were supportive and the teaching pattern was way too good..having cultural programs helped to keep mind refresh and the knowledge gained is definitely worth it.
Placements
Students in large number of groups take admission..Highest salary offered to me till yet with no experience any job field is 18k for commerce field. Teachers were really supportive from providing extra classes to notes
Value-for-money
Near 5000. YES it is worth it.

College Infrastructure
Very good infrastructure. Good labs and comfortable class rooms. The rooms were also very big. Alot for lights came. The labs were equiped with many important tools for the students to learn there. Very helpful.
Academics
Over all academics wise it was good as well. Very good faculties as well. The faculties were very helpful. They helped the students in every manner. During exam they took extra classes for the students.
Placements
Place wise it was average. Due to covid placements were not good at all. In other years few companies came like indigo airlines and icici Prudential but in our year only one company came. Other companies didn't due to covid.
Value-for-money
If we consider value for money it good because the fees are reasonable. The fees are very reasonable so for that reason if we consider value for money it's worth it because you will learn many valuable lessons.
Campus Life
Campus life was good. We enjoyed alot. Ome of the best time i have had. The college is also situated in very nice location. There were many location for the students to spend their time. Good canteen with good food as well.
Anything Else
Overall it is a good college with good faculties. Good rooms and good labs with good and big canteens and very good food with different tastes. The campus is also very big and luxury. The students will appreciate it alot.

College Infrastructure
I had perfect infrastructure at my college. We had all the necessary things at one place. The libraries, the labs were perfect for us. We also had a well maintained sports area. Community halls etc. Each and everything were perfect out there.
Academics
I really got some very polite and lovely educator in my college. They all were too qualified to teach some novice like us. They all kept us up to date about the market that we can be ready for our future.
Placements
I have completed my graduation in the mid of pandemic. That's why couldn't experience the placement drive. Still looking at the previous years I can say that some well known companies do visit at our campus and students get jobs from there.
Value-for-money
We had to pay a nominal amount in each semester. Where as I could get to know that other colleges are charging much more than us. It was easier for every student to pay the fees.
Campus Life
I had a really friendly college campus. The best thing was the seniors were too supportive and they promoted the fact it was a ragging free campus. The union members were not so polite that can be called as a bad feature. But all the staffs, faculties were outstanding. Safest place for everyone. The location was prompt.
Anything Else
I had experienced a really good time in my college. At first I was a bit frightened. But as soon as I get to know about my campus, my educators, my classmates everything were too good then. I feel proud to be a part of the college.

College Infrastructure
Classrooms are really spacious as well as this college is well equipped with facilities like two libraries, computer laboratories, WiFi, smart boards and the college canteen is really good. It provides all delicious foods at very cheap price rate.
Academics
This college is well known for its academic records. This college is educating people for more than sixty years with a reputation. First, it was the only college of commerce in south Kolkata. Gradually, it opened other branches of higher education and now offers honours in Bangla, Education, English, History and Political Science in Arts, and Economics and Geography in Science, along with honours in Accounting & Finance.
Placements
The placements of this college is average but people do get placements from this college.Companies like TCS, HDFC Bank, Wipro hires from our college. Average Salary offered two lacs per annum and the professors are really supportive and help us by informing about the placements
Value-for-money
The average cost per year is 6000 to 8000.Basically this is a government college so the fees rate is really cheap.

College Infrastructure
Well, our college has the necessary infrastucture required for academic purposes. Classrooms are well accomodated . Teachers teach with projectors and all . The building especially the canteen and the bathroom is kept clean to ensure healthy environment .
Academics
I am studying B.com in Accountancy and Finance( Honours) for the last 2.5 years . The quality of teaching is good . Well the projects and assignments given to us are helpful for our development . I will not say what we studey makes us absolutely job ready but it starts the process .
Placements
Many institutions like TCS , Wipro , etc approach our college for placement. The placement activity is primarily managed by placement commitee including faculties from various departments . In the 2017-2018 about 30% of the total students participated were selected . Sorry I cannot say about the salary or about the interview because I have never been on the interview .
Value-for-money
Our course cost Rs. 5000 approx per annum. Well for a graduation course it is a bit difficult to say that the course is worth of every penny spent but let's say that as a yes .
Campus Life
See the college campus has all kinds of facilities like well accomodated classrooms with proper ventilation, canteen and ground for playing football or cricket whichever is preferable. Our students union organises inter-college football matches. Annual sports is organised every year in Deshopriyo Park . It gets some time to get used to a new environment but when you get to know them it's bliss. The college campus is located in a safe secured region around Golpark .
Anything Else
No. That's all I could come up .

College Infrastructure
This college is having all the necessary infrastructural facilities and required equipments, the libraries and other sections of the colleges are kept clean from time to time. And the food from the canteen that we have is very good. It's great and comes at a reasonable price that tastes good.
Academics
Subject wise attendence is a must here, otherwise you'll be facing consequences related to the same. Teachers are good, they teach pretty well and are available for your doubt solving. Teachers are always available on time to take the classes.
Placements
Placement facility is actually great, but limited as per my analysis. You need to make it and take it up as a challenge. Legit competition exists. Companies like TCS is what most people get into. Other companies are also there if students are interested in them.
Value-for-money
This college is definitely worth for money with the brand value it already has. I'm pursuing B.Com Honours and total cost of this course is around 16k.
Campus Life
Campus is pretty good again. You can play carrom, table tennis and such other games on your pass time.
Anything Else
It's good so far.

College Infrastructure
Decent but not upto the mark. Could have been better. Lots of areas to improve. Quality of classroom facilities need to be revamped to modern taste. Basic infrastructure is decent though. Canteen can be improved.
Academics
Mainly focuses on commerce field. Some of the teachers are very good. But classes were not held regularly during my time and attendance was a big issue. Hardly half the class went to college everyday.
Placements
Very poor placement support. Practically nil. No company comes for campussing. College should be much more proactive in training students focusing on jobs. Only teaching regular classes will not be enough.
Value-for-money
Tuition fees are very less which is a good point.
Campus Life
Practically nil. Maximum initiatives are on behalf of students.
Anything Else
Decent college but could be much much better.

College Infrastructure
South City College has only one building which is 'U' shaped. It runs 3 colleges in the same building (Morning, Day and Evening). It has a canteen, two libraries (Central and Seminar), Girls Common Room, a very small field, IT labs, WiFi (Basically you cannot use it as it gives very less data). Infrastructure is simply what you get in a government college.
Academics
South City College is famous for its commerce department. Most of the teacher's provide quality education. The semester results of this college comes quite good and you will only get a supple if you don't study at all. But don't expect full marks in internal as teacher's purposely don't give.
Placements
Placements Cell of this college is more or less below average. Companies like TCS, Indigo etc visit for campus recruitment but hardly five or ten students are recruited finally. Some companies come with Internship opportunities every year. So don't expect anything big unless you study in a private college.
Value-for-money
Though our Bcom(Hons) course was supposed to cost Rs 5640 every month but after first year they started taking fees semester wise for which we had to pay higher fees. They also charge higher semester examination fees than as mentioned in the Calcutta University payment slip.
Campus Life
The college has NCC, Football team, Cricket team etc and takes part in various tournaments. Teachers are friendly with students and you can approach them for any help. Ragging is strictly prohibited in this campus. This College is located in Golpark nears Ramakrishna Mission.

Heramba Chandra College popularly known as the South City Day College because of its day shift college. Heramba Chandra College is one of the most renowned colleges in Kolkata for Commerce. A simple yet elegant college for everyone with excellent faculty, green environment, big airy classrooms and yes very good and helpful seniors! Loved spending 3 years of my life here. Spent the best memories of my life here.

Where do I start? Actually, it was a great experience to me studying there. I remember the first class of the first day of my college. Our class teacher was very helpful and gentle. The atmosphere was also fabulous and the seniors were very friendly to us too. Infrastructure, library, canteens and all could have been much better.

Everyone is very cooperative.Teachers are very experienced and teach in a very good manner. The building and infrastructure could have been better .No playground does not help,and the canteen is also unhygienic and gross. The fees are very low,so that's a positive . Everything is very simple and not extravagant! The seating facilities could be a lot better and even the washrooms! The crowd and the atmosphere of this college are very very vibrant.People are very helpful and extremely friendly.

Despite being in the centre of the town, the college is very peaceful and meets the needs of students. The teachers also possess high standards as they are very well aware of the subject they teach. The ambience of the college is awesome and refreshing thereby attracting a decent crowd of Kolkata

This college tends to be one of the best in Calcutta University and it's equally good when it comes to studies but classes are hardly held and the attendance is not a problem but at the end of the day the marks are what matters hence it is decently well if you were to take my view.

Amidst the modernisation of south Calcutta dwells this college wd capacity of 10000 or more students. Over a vast area, this college spreads its wings along with a playground,common room for boys and a canteen. Also not to mention there is a beautiful park(lake gardens) located within few metres where we will find our college comes over there.;) Within my 3 years of college life, I enjoyed the most of the time hanging with my buddies in boys common room nd in playground kicking off the sweat from the body. It's worth mentioning about the faculty over there are very very friendly nd helpful and helped me countlessly in studies. Apart from all these not to mention my college crush...;) oops sorry its crushes...:p From dating to cafe coffee day to hanging out in shopping mall we used to chat and have a wonderful time. In short, I have enjoyed my college life to the fullest!!

Heramba Chandra College provides me the 3 golden years of my life. I miss it every moment.The college did not provide any opportunity for placements nor there were any campus interviews organised but the professors individually helped us by providing some referrals. Those referrals were of big help as those paved a smooth path for us. Also, at that time the name of the college was enough for a student to get a job. The faculties or the professors, rather, were very good and were very helpful. they did not look at the subjects they taught as their profession only. There were students from all religion like Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians. The course curriculum was elaborative and detailed everything that I was looking for. The same was a comprehensive guideline as to how I should progress in the course. The curriculum helped me in assessing the subjects and the main focus that I should give to. No, the college in which I studied did not provide any internship at that time. I am unaware if the same has been introduced nowadays. We celebrated the freshers' welcome where we got welcomed in our first year. The freshers' welcome was organised on the last day of the college before the pujas which made the event more important as we all were in the festive mood. The college social was organised just after the pujas and it became the medium of celebrating Bijaya. Many artists of high repute performed on both the occasions. I did not avail of any scholarships though there were scholarships available under sports, commerce and extraordinary performance in language. There were no loan facilities provided.

College life can be summed up as pretty much satisfactory. The start of term was pretty good. All the buzz and excitement but however it started to fade away sooner than expected. The teaching faculty is good. The teachers encourage students to give their best ultimately succumbing to the lack of lack of attendance which doesn't help them succeed in their endeavour to bring out the best in every student. There is a huge problem regarding lack of attendance in college which is, however, being looked into by our new Principal. Infrastructure wise I would rate my college below par. The classes are very old and the fans are as good as non-existent. The library has a collection of almost every book that a student would require in the 3 years of college life. There is a lot of encouragement in extracurricular activities and participation in various college fests. Regarding placements, the procedure was very chaotic and haphazard. This led to a lot of students backing out of it. Overall the college is good but there is a scope for improvement or it would be appropriate to say that there is a need for improvement. Beyond a certain point of time students start losing interest and the whole curriculum is disturbed.

The college focuses on strong academics and extra curricular activities as well. It has a very good faculty panel. It offers a variety of subjects to choose from. Overall it will be a very good experience for the student. There are a lot of events which takes place in the college which will enhance the learning experience. College conducts regular examination so that constant learning is there.

The teachers are very warm, they are polite and quite experienced which is good for us. There is a pre-assuption about the presence of the unions but they are not harmful at all. Overall it's a good college. There are a whole lot of activities in the college. The canteen and the ground could have been much better, in short the whole infrastructure needs to be reconsidered. One problem for non-bengali students is that they have to talk in bengali which is not possible.

It was a change from school to college. Everything was so new on the first day but thanks to my helpful seniors, I could adjust very easily to the new environment. The college faculty were excellent and they helped me throughout the 3 years. They also encouraged me to participate in a lot of extracurricular activities like taking part in debates and discussions. I have learned a lot from my college life and really miss those days.

Heramba Chandra College, popularly known as South City College, is located in gariahat area of kolkata. It is a Co-ed college. The education system is quite good, the faculty as well. What prevents it from being best is the political involvements and students union. The cultural activities like sports, annual functions, rabindra Jayanti celebration should be looked after upon, and political activities should be minimised.
