Jogesh Chandra Chowdhury College, Kolkata Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri college does have the necessary facilities, clubs, etc. which are mostly enjoyable. It boasts a student union which will help with almost anything you want. The college also has a common room where you can come and chill out in the middle of classes. You can also play table tennis and carrom if you will. The cons will be that most of the facilities are not well maintained round the year, and the toilet hygiene could be improved as well.

Well the academic experience differs with departments, but on an average most of the staff and professors are open to conversations relating to academics and finance. The curriculum will be stated by the University of Calcutta, and professors will try their best to help you. The department of mathematics is pretty cool, but the rooms can be a bit clumsy. All in all you have to put the effort to get good grades. Con: you will not get the opportunity to showcase your academic skills here.

Being a non-technical college, it doesn't provide placements as such but you can always visit the placement cell and discuss your issue. Most of the placements will be based on a general profile, meaning it will not relate to the skills you have. Most students either go for government jobs or pursue masters after completing their graduation.

The value for money is pretty good for the college, since it provides facilities like library, reading room, clubs, computer lab, common room, etc. at a very low cost. Most courses won't charge more than Rs.5000 a year, so those who want to earn a bachelor's degree for a low fee, this could be the place. Also the college could grant you fee waivers if you explain your situation.

Campus life is pretty cool. You will get ample time to spend with your friends and professors. You can also chill out at the college canteen and reading room (if you can stay low on decibels). I used to play chess there, and used the common room for table tennis. Overall it's a fun experience. Con: If you are uncomfortable with smoking then the common room and canteen could be a no no.

Nice experience. Loved to visit the field nearby and play cricket and football. Was also a winner of inter-departmental chess competition, 2018-19, before the covid situation arised.
