According to the location factor, which college among Vivekananda College Kolkata, Acharya Prafulla Chandra College and Acharya Girish Chandra Bose College is better?

This majorly depends on your location and where you live.

If you belong to South Kolkata or plan to stay there, commuting to Vivekananda College, Thakurpukur will be easier for you.

But if you are from North Kolkata or from the suburbs, it is suggested that you go for Acharya Prafulla Chandra College or Acharya Girish Chandra Bose College. This is because they will be near Sealdah Railway Station.

Also you can get rentals in North or Central Kolkata at a very affordable price.
