Its the Best College If you want to enjoy your college life through festivals, Party.

Overall: Let's Talk about the not so good stuffs. College management faculty really need some improvements, members of the management faculty loves to turn down the students who maybe travelled from another town or district to show up at the college to submit their documents. Sometimes they don't even properly mention the documents. There are times in exam season when students come to the college to give their exam without even knowing the seat or exam hall numbers. And Class rooms really need an upgrade! Although they are working on it when I was passing out. Oh the union members! they jump for help the students who are in need but on the other side they really like to showcase their powers over regular students. Which I didn't liked! But it's pretty much balanced I guess! Now on the good stuffs My college life was great! ❤️ Wanna know why? We have the Biggest Campus! it's *HUGE* and *SEXY* we have a stadium sized, no I think it's even bigger a massive sized Play ground,a Big tennis court, vollyball Court, but that's not the thing excites me! College arranges at least 3 big college fest! Each year! And trust me each fests are on pin point perfection, the bands they bring each year is Awesome! And ofcourse you will get the free entry! It's No1 College in the town for Fests! If you want to enjoy your college life then you can enjoy here.

Placement: Yeah it's the one thing that lacks. You will get a recognition. But you will not get any job placement from the college. But I like to add one more thing that as far as I remember students who have passed out from this college no one is unemployed. Of course you have to find it on your own. If you have skill then you will get the High paying jobs.

Infrastructure: Class rooms are not very much clean. Some of the rooms have the upgrads! But some of them really dirty. They really need an upgrade. Although when I was passing out they are working on it.

Hostel: Of course you will get a separate building for boys and girls. The comparatively girls hostel is bigger than the boys and both are clean. And the hostels are inside the campus so you don't have to worry about running late to the class!

It is a decent college.

Overall: It is a govt. college, one of the most prestigious colleges affiliated to The North Bengal University, has decent faculty & campus too. However there is kind of a language barrier.

Placement: The institute, Siliguri College, affiliated to The North Bengal University, however, does not provide any types or placement or campus placements to the students.

Infrastructure: It was built in the 1900’s I believe. It has the very old skool architecture, which I personally find aesthetically appealing. The college also has a large play ground, where all the fests take place.

Faculty: Has a great board of scholars, all the professors are great scholars who are highly qualified, and on top of all are great humans to be accompanied with. However, there may be a language barrier for people who might not understand Bengali.

Hostel: Hostel facility is available , for students of the institution both for men as well as women , at the fees of about 18k per year or such. I’d like to repeat again of the institution being a govt funded institution. Hence, the facility might not be as pleasing.

Overall: Dear all, I an studying in Siliguri college and I am pursuing economics honours, this is a government college and provides a lot of opportunities for us students, our seniors are very polite and always helpful and our teachers are very much dedicated to their work. Even tho we don't have facilities like AC classrooms and all those things but we have a really good batch of teachers. Our campus is ragging free. Our college provides NCC trainings for girls and boys both.

Placement: Our college is a government college which doesn't really provide placements but from this year they have started this new system in which they said that they'll provide with placement facilities.

Infrastructure: We have different buildings for almost every department we have a huge ground, there are 5 different buildings and each floor is dedicated to one department. But however classrooms are small.

Hi, as per the rules, no senior can ragging new students at any college or university. You must know that ragging is legally prohibited in India. The Supreme Court of India has issued strict guidelines against it, and it is mandatory for institutions to report any incidents of ragging to the police. Punishments for ragging can be severe, including cancellation of admission, suspension, withholding scholarships, and even criminal proceedings.

You need not to worry as Siliguri College has a dedicated Anti-Ragging Cell. This indicates that the college administration is aware of the issue and has a formal mechanism to address it. The contact details, including the email ID (<arc@siliguricollege.in>) and contact numbers of the Principal and other members of the Anti-Ragging Cell, are available on the college's official website. The college's website explicitly states a zero-tolerance policy towards ragging.

The college is affiliated with the University of North Bengal, which has an Anti-Ragging Cell and issues guidelines and circulars to combat ragging. Siliguri College's Anti-Ragging Cell is formed by the Principal and faculty members from several departments. This implies a multifaceted approach to preventing and combating ragging. The Anti-Ragging Cell strives to create a ragging-free environment and investigates complaints.

I hope this is helpful!
