Shri Shikshayatan College, Kolkata Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Infrastructure is not something to boast about but facilities are quite good. Full air conditioned classes ( a huge relief in summers to beat the heat of this city) . Smart boards and mics are available in every class but are not frequently used ( depends upon the teacher). There are all kinds of lab with necessary equipments. Library is well updated with latest editions of books to cater the needs of the students. Washrooms are clean,hygenic & well maintained.

I am a final year B.com (Accounting & Finance hons) student. Teaching quality is pretty decent. The curriculum is governed by Calcutta University so if we compare it with top univ. such as DU it is not at par with it . Although there have been recent changes in it but still there remains a scope for further improvement. The curriculum is not something which can make the students job ready as it does not stress on gaining practical exposure or knowledge , soft skills etc.

Cannot say much about this as I didn't sit for the placement due to some reasons. But what I know is there is a Placement Cell which provides assistance and guidance for students to sit in placements. Students got placements in companies such as PWC , SDC ,Delloite, Omnifim Solutions , Decathlon from my batch i.e. B.com hons in Accounting & Finance 2020 batch. Cannot tell about the past records.

The cost of my course was around Rs50,000 per year i.e 2 semsters. It charged collectively for both of them. The fees is very economical as compared to other pvt colleges offering the same course.It is value for money as facilities like full ac class & geniune teachers with such low price is not something which is provided in all colleges.

The best thing about this college is its location. Located in 11 lord Sinha Rd which is 3-4 min. away from Exide bus stop and Rabindra Sadan metro 2 of the most used and convenient means of tranport in this city. Students get to participate in various intra college events and clubs like Entrepreneurship Cell, Leadership Training Scheme focusing on building their skills in such areas. Teachers are friendly and approachable.

After my 12th, i was confused to which college shall i join. I scored good in boards so i wanted to join the best college. Shri Shikshayatan was on my top list. So i thought of visiting the campus. It is a huge campus with huge ground. Classes are big in size which can easily accommodate around 150-200 studets. It has library which has all kinds of books. Computer room can accommodate many students at one go. It has swimming pool and canteen, my favorite part. There is no littering at all.

I was in Bcom Hons. I chose commerce in my 12. For bcom shri Shikshayatan is best college. It has very qualified teachers. They are more of a facilitator than a teacher. They are very friendly. The curriculum is also up to date. It helped me in my real life.

After college, i preferred to do MBA. I wanted to do MBA from a good college. And doing bcom from Shri Shikshayatan helped me in joining the best MBA college. As background does matter in MBA. College is very supportive in placement. U didn't sit for placements as i wanted to do further studies

The institution boasts a state of the art infrastructure and has air-conditioned classrooms, alongside an air-conditioned canteen, a common room with equipment of the gymnasium. The college also has a swimming pool and an open space with a basketball and a throwball court for students to cool themselves off after classes. The journalism laboratory boasts of having MAC labs and state of the art laboratories for students to give them a decent exposure.

As a student of journalism and mass communication, I must admit that the curriculum lags behind in the real world if we talk about practicality, the academicians are however not strictly disciplinarian, which is quite contrary to what the popular opinion of the institution outside, the teachers never come on time and during our semester 1 examinations in the first core course paper, we had almost 65% of the syllabus uncovered. Needless to mention, the syllabus is not at all job-market ready.

The placements in the college would be less than satisfactory and the pay package is an extremely low return with respect to the fees taken by the institution every year in the name of tuition fees and other miscellaneous fees.

The fees per semester for BA Journalism and Mass Communication is around thirty thousand INR, which roughly stands to sixty thousand INR per year, with this amount of money, I really do not think the college is meeting proper teaching-learning standards when it comes to this particular course. Needless to say, the syllabus for Journalism in Calcutta University is extremely backdated.

There is no campus per se, all the pictures on the website are a hoax, honestly, since Shri Shikshayatan College falls under the premise of Shri Shikshayatan School and is one huge building. The support staff is extremely rude most of the time and the canteen remains closed during Saturdays, and after 3 pm, which is another huge disadvantage. There are two clubs- the Debating Club and the Bengali Literary Society which is extremely and equally inactive.
