Among Loreto College or Shri Shikshayatan College in Kolkata, the former is said to be better. 

• The cutoffs here are high and they have very limited seats. 
• General category students only have 25 official seats. 
• Their English department is said to be the best in Kolkata. 
• They have an excellent faculty comprising talented members with years of educational experience.

Shri Shikshayatan is a bit liberal and gives students enough freedom to explore, on the other hand Loreto is completely opposite. It is very strict and disciplined. They keep their students in check most of the time.

Both Loreto College and Shri Shikshayatan College are the most reputed all-girls colleges in Kolkata. Choosing any one of them will prove to be a good step up for your career.

Loreto College is popular for its English Honours course. It is more strict compared to any other college. Students here have to maintain a 80% attendance, failing which you will not be able to sit for the examination. Also for subjects with practicals, students have to maintain a 100% attendance in labs. The faculty of the English department is highly experienced with some professors having 15-20 years of educational experience.

Shri Shikshayatan College is a bit more liberal than Loreto. It is not so strict about certain rules and students have the freedom to explore. The attendance, dress code, academics, etc. are much more lenient than Loreto. But according to the education provided both are equally good. Choose the one that meets all your requirements, as only that can give you a fulfilling college life.

Both Bhawanipur Education Society and Shri Shikshayatan are reputed colleges in Kolkata. They admit their students on a merit basis. Their cut off is usually high but if you have average scores you will get a chance in their 2nd or 3rd lists.

Shri Shikshayatan is an all girls college and requires a better academic record. Both colleges are more or less the same. They differ in infrastructure, faculty and overall fees. Shri Shikshayatan has better infrastructure than Bhawanipur with better well maintained buildings, auditorium, gym and swimming pool. 

Bhawanipur encourages students to join their college clubs and committees, they believe in the holistic development of the students along with academics. The college hosts, organizes and takes part in several inter-college festivals, cultural activities, competitions, etc. which take place all year long. If you prefer being around such activities then Bhawanipur is the right place for you.

The choice entirely depends on the individual and where his or her interests lie. Both are reputed institutions, so you will enjoy the perks these brands offer, you just have to choose what interests you more. A culturally active college or a college mostly inclined towards academics.

Among the colleges mentioned, Loreto is definitely the better choice. It has been consistent with its academic excellence and discipline. The Economics department of the college is one of the best with excellent faculty. Also, Loreto has witnessed university toppers from this department before. If you are getting Loreto, you should go for it. 

I have friends from both J.D Birla and Shri Shikshayatan College. According to their experience, I will that you should choose one of these institutes based on the course you want to pursue. Shri Shikshayatan College is a good option if you want to pursue any Commerce degree. The faculty base for Commerce is quite good. On the other hand, J.D. Birla is well-known for its home-science honours course. 

Among these two institutes, Goenka College of Commerce is the best option for pursuing a B.com Honours course. As Shri Shikshatan College is a private institute, the infrastructure of the institute is good. Bot Goenka College of Commerce offers better academics. After St. Xavier College of Kolkata, Goenka is the most popular.
