Admission:

Getting into Calcutta University for your post graduation is really really tough. Since I took admission during the covid 19 period hence no entrance were conducted . We had to fill an online form and based on our merit from the score of graduation several lists were published. And the seats were limited and lakhs and lakhs of students filled the form hoping to get the opportunity to study in the biggest state University at nominal cost and scholarship as well. If you are a graduate from Calcutta University then the process is this. But I'm not sure about the students who come from different university to do post graduation in Calcutta University.

Admission:

The admission procedure was simple. We had to fill an online form and the eligible criteria was 65% in boards exam for general candidate and 50% in boards exam for St/sc/obc candidates. There were no such admision test or entrance examination. If you are short listed then your name would pe published in the first list and then if people selected in the first list don't take admission that seat will be given to people waiting in the second and third list. And the second and third list students will have to compete for the seats as it will be then first time first basis. In my opinion there should be an entrance examination for admission.

Admission:

The admission process is very simple. All you need is to fill up the form by visiting the college website and pay admission form fees. You need to wait until the merit list is out. Almost 4 merit list is being shortlisted by the college. No entrance exam is being conducted by the college. Admission is done purely on the basis of your 12th marks. The cut off is also very low i.e around 70%. There is a reservation benefit for only Kolkata students. They must have the certificate that they reside in Kolkata. The semester exams are conducted in an interval of 6 months that is twice a year. The passing percentage for semester exam is 35%-40% and the exam level is moderate.

Admission:

You'll have to score 55% to be able to fill out the form and then based on the merit list you'll be selected but keep in mind your score should be above 80% because Bethune is a highly demanding college and as far as my knowledge goes only toppers study here and I am not joking at all I have friends who are West Bengal rankers so be thankful if you get your chance here

Admission:

Its not that tough to take admission in here I guess you have to score 70+ percentage in your 12th . If you have pretty good percentage like 90+ you can easily get admission and your name will come in the first cutoff list. But if you have 70+ then you have to wait for few times till your name come in the list. But eventually you'll get accepted. Do check the cutoff before taking admission in the college website.
