Students’ Corner

The college admission process has been made entirely online. The entire process from the filling up of the forms to submission of fees, publication of merit list and getting admitted is done online.

Our college caters to economically disprivileged students. It is our major objective to get them access to various sources of grants and stipends. Our college apart from many other kinds of stipends has worked hard to provide financial support to the students in every form. We were awarded by the State government of West Bengal for arranging for our students the largest number of ‘Kanyashree’ stipends to the students in the entire state.

Through funds received from the UGC we initiated a formal scheme of Remedial Coaching for backward students. This coaching was successfully initiated in all departments of the college.

We did not have a single internet facility for the students during the last NAAC visit. We have successfully provided over 40 computers with 1 Mbps internet connection for use of students in various departments.

The Wi-Facility has been made available to all teachers and staff throughout the college by placing routers at important intersections in the college.

Five UGC-sponsored national and regional seminars were organized by various departments since the last NAAC visit. One such seminar was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Governor, West Bengal. Eminent resource persons from all over the country were invited for the seminar.

Over a dozen other seminars and workshops were organized by various departments apart from the UGC-sponsored Seminars.

A new career counseling cell was set up in the college organizing various career related workshops and conferences. Recently a Psychometric Assessment Test for the Third year honours students was conducted as part of the career counseling programme. Students were then advised about various career opportunities after completion of the Undergraduate programmes.

A number of fieldwork activities were initiated for most departments using funds allotted by the UGC. This was done to supplement the curriculum.

Although the college does not have any playground we have a designated non-teaching staff working at providing linkages with local authorities and Railway facilities for use of their playground facilities. Regular sports events are held at the playground of a neighbouring college. Students have also qualified for various state-level events in Kabaddi and Archery.

A number of extension authorities with the help of NGOs and local municipal authorities have been organized.

We have also introduced a system for an online student feedback, using Google Docs. The link is provided on the college website and it provides for an efficient and dynamic feedback process which is regularly monitored by the Principal and the other Heads of Department.

We have set up an Anti-sexual harassment cell in the college in accordance with the government guidelines.

Freeship is granted to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Candidates interested in availing of this facility are required to apply through proper channel.

There is a provision to extend financial help from this fund to students with financial constraints to help them to purchase books and stationery, to pay their college dues and University Examination fees, to photocopy study material etc.

The College has been providing its students with free medical check-up and health counseling at the Nilratan Sarkar Medical College (NRS) and Students’ Health Home.

A College magazine MANAN is being published frequently since the inception of the College in 1948.
