Ques
Where should one pursue economics, Jadavpur University or Lady Brabourne College?

● Top Answer By Bhaawna Sommeya on 07 Jul 21

Ans
My sister studied economics at Lady Brabourne College for 3 years and from that experience, she came to realize that Jadavpur University would've been the better option. The subjects taught at Lady Brabourne College were very hectic and lengthy answers were asked in exams and even then you will be given low marks. Whereas in Jadavpur university, the faculty number is vast and they are all very well read and experts in their fields. Amartya Sen is one of the JU professors. You will find that the semesters are well spaced too so that even if you study all year long, it won't feel like a burden. Economics has not only a very advanced syllabus but also a very brilliant faculty who focus on the development of students and remain unaffected by university politics. One thing is for sure, that as a JU student you will not require tuition fees because the faculty will always be ready to solve all your doubts and answer each query.

Ques
How is the hostel of Lady Brabourne College Kolkata?

● Top Answer By Sayanti Shome on 28 Dec 21

Ans
The hostels at Lady Brabourne College, (LBC) Kolkata are very basic and usual. The building is very old with corridors having fewer lights making it difficult to walk around. The Hostel fees are very less. About INR 1500-2000 per month including food and lodging. The whole campus is wifi enabled, which at times gets a bit slower than usual due to heavy traffic. LBC hostels are very secured and students here can stay peacefully without facing any major inconveniences. In the first year you have to stay in a dorm along with 10-15 other students.  In the second year you get to share your room with one other student.  And finally in the third year, you will probably get a single occupancy room. There are strict rules which are to be followed by the students. The hostel timings should be taken seriously. The food offered here will take some time to get adjusted, but overall it is healthy. If you do not have a required percentage in your exams, you will not be allowed to stay in the hostel from the following year. Many students opt to stay in the hostel but if you want an alternative you can choose to stay as a paying guest. There are many places nearby. The people here are very cooperative and overall it is a good college, so there will not be many problems.

Ques
What are the minimum marks required in CBSE board exams to guarantee an admission at Lady Brabourne College or St. Xavier's College at Kolkata?

● Top Answer By Aratrika Mukherjee on 28 Dec 21

Ans
One of my friends studied in Lady Brabourne College with Physics (Hons). The criteria was an exact 100 in physics. The criteria for other boards may be equal or vary. This might have changed over the years, but chances are very less if you have scored less than 95. St Xavier’s College’ Chemistry (Hons.) criteria is around 95–98%. Some students with 90% or above will get admission through 3rd or 4th list if there are vacant seats. Therefore to secure a seat, your overall percentage must be more than 95 and in the subject you want to pursue for your honors, you must have a higher score than 97, from whichever board you graduate from.

Ques
Which college is better for political science hons, Lady Brabourne or Loreto, Kolkata?

● Top Answer By Subhasmita Desh on 30 Nov 21

Ans
Lady Brabourne is comparably better for a Political Science (Hons). It is one of the top colleges in Kolkata. The faculty base is great. However, it is quite difficult to get admission at the institute as the number of seats is limited. They are also quite strict regarding attendance. Loreto College is also one of the most reputed colleges in Kolkata. And both Lady Brabourne and Loreto come under Calcutta University. So, you will take the same examinations and go through the same evaluation process.
