The college provides best campus life to students. It organises events very frequently. The college has different clubs for students to take part in such as drama club, fashion club, dance club, music club, and games club. I was a BCA student at the college for the years 2020 to 2023. It had granted me the best 3 years of my life. The college also provides good placements from top MNCs to students. Overall, it is one of the best colleges in Kolkata. The faculty members are also very friendly and are high qualified in their respective fields.

For getting admission into the college, students need to clear the CET (Common Entrance Exam) for admission in all the mentioned courses: BCA, BBA, BMS, and MMS. After clearing the test, students undergo personal interview with the principal himself, Mr. Gaur Banerjee, a very humble being. Students must pass their +2 with a minimum of 50% to get qualified for admission. I chose BCA since I had interest I’m coding since my high school and as the world is progressing. The field of Computer Application is growing accordingly. Thus, I chose this course. Exams take place in Continuous Assessments which hold per month, 4 CAs to better prepare the students for the upcoming semester exam, followed by the final semester exams. The college is affiliated to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT).
