Ques

How much percentage do I need to acquire to get an admission in Lady Brabourne College or Bethune College in Kolkata for History honours?

● Top Answer By Adrita Bose on 28 Dec 21

Ans

It will depend on the cut-off marks as set up by the college. It differs from year to year. If you score above 85 your chances of getting selected in the first round will be easier. Later it will gradually drop down to 75-80. This will also vary among students of reserved and unreserved categories. Students belonging to reserved categories might require a lower score like 70-75, which can drop down to 60-65, depending on the course and the college’s set cut off.

Ques

Which is better, Bethune College or Vidyasagar College?

● Top Answer By Riyanka Dasgupta on 30 Oct 21

Ans

I know people from both Bethune College and Vidyasagar College. According to what I heard from them, I will say the former is better. Bethune is an all-girls college and it is quite strict. If you want good academics with regular classes then Bethune is the right choice. Vidyasagar has union problems too. At Bethune, you won’t have to face such problems as party politics doesn’t exist here. The faculties and the ambiance of Bethune are great. The facilities offered at the college are good. Both the central and departmental libraries have a good collection of books. There are many extracurricular activities for you to participate in. These reasons make Bethune a better option for pursuing your course.

Ques

How is the B.Sc. psychology department of Bethune College? Can I get admission if my rank is 40 and there are 13 seats?

● Top Answer By Reeti Chakraborty, on 18 Nov 21

Ans

Yes, you can get admission in B.Sc Psychology at Bethune College as a number of students leave their seats for better colleges. You can then try to get a seat during the second, third or fourth cut-off list. Bethune College has highly qualified faculty members but the classes are not conducted regularly. Sometimes they even fail to complete the syllabus. But if we ignore these flaws, they are quite brilliant as educators. If you're joining this college, make sure you can study by yourself because you will not get constant attention from teachers. Bethune College will provide you with a better experience. In Bethune, you will develop both academically and holistically. Overall it is a great institution to be a part of.

Can you share some interesting memories of Bethune College?

● Top Answer By Priti Dixit, on 18 Nov 21

Ans

Those who think that an all-girls college is not much fun are absolutely wrong. One of my friends from Bethune College said that from attending classes to celebrating festivals, it was always a great experience. Bethune College teachers are friendly and cordial. The seniors as well as the juniors are enthusiastic and energetic. The college staff was equally cooperative. The most memorable thing at Bethune College was the inter-college competitions, for which they also received an award. Bethune was also ranked as the best college by the Education Minister. Every college under Calcutta University should get inspiration from Bethune College.

Ques

How difficult is it to get Economics (Hons.) in Bethune College?

● Top Answer By Sulagna Saha, on 18 Nov 21

Ans

If you are willing to apply for Economics (Hons.) at Bethune College, then you require at least a minimum of 88% marks. The index marks of Economics are calculated in a different way, so it is suggested to check the official college website for it. If you are good at Mathematics, it is quite easy to get into colleges like Scottish Church College or Bethune College. If you have a mark of above 85% in Mathematics and English, it will be easier for you to get into a good college for B.Sc Economics Honours.

Ques

Between Loreto College Kolkata and Bethune College which one should I choose for pursuing a Bachelor's in Economics Hons.?

● Top Answer By Sampriti Sen, on 18 Nov 21

Ans

Loreto College Kolkata and Bethune College are under Calcutta University. Their overall course structure will be similar. As one of my friends graduated from Bethune, I can say that their Economics department is much better than Loreto College. The faculty is really great. They are highly experienced and extremely cooperative. They make sure that the students learn each and every topic from scratch. Even if you did not have an economics background before college, the professors teach you in a way that makes you familiar with the basics of the subject, hence gradually you get the full concept of it. Due to this, it is suggested that you go for Bethune College rather than Loreto College to pursue an Economics Honours.

Ques

I am going to start my B.Sc. Economics Honours from Bethune College of Calcutta University. Can you give me some advice?

● Top Answer By Isha Khurana, on 18 Nov 21

Ans

Bethune College is one of the renowned colleges in West Bengal. As you have opted for B.Sc Economics One of my friends also studied at Bethune College, so I might be able to provide some tips about this: Buy a last 5-year question or CBCS system previous year’s question as soon as possible. Calcutta University tends to give the same question in an odd-even-year system. Solve those papers and prepare accordingly as 60% of the questions will be similar. Make sure you utilize the profit of the online exam system. You can score 15-20% extra than offline exams. After the regular college classes if you need extra guidance to go for a coaching centre suggested by your seniors. Keep in touch with your seniors frequently, as they can guide you through a lot of things. Lastly, as Bethune is a very strict college, try to enjoy your college life, maintain a good relationship with your teachers and work hard and study well to make a successful career.
