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.

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.

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.
