 WHY CHOOSE
SURENDRANATH COLLEGE?
The college is a 138-year-old heritage institution producing galaxy of alumni in its long run. Since its inception,
the institute has been imparting high quality, all-inclusive education (with no discrimination based on caste,
creed, or economic status) to all sections of the society and thereby nurturing the dreams of the under
privileged. Due to its convenient location (~400 meters away from Sealdah station) despite standing at the
heart of the city of Kolkata, it demographically attracts many first-generation learners every year from various
parts of West Bengal even from the remotest villages. It has students coming from other states too. It is an
additional skill set of the faculty of the college to keep such students always motivated in their academic
pursuits and help them to evolve their capabilities for the job market. Faculty members work with
determination and patience to achieve this feat. Keeping in view the above objective, the Institution may not
regularly get toppers across all the disciplines but is often successful in finding meritorious students from the
non-creamy layer of the society and help them to carve out a stable academic career. The multilingual platform
offered by the Institution also aids significantly in achieving this objective and learners can slowly adapt and
get moulded into the academic ambience of the campus. The college is above all committed to usher in socio-
economic transformation by providing inclusive innovative quality education of global standards to fully meet
the expectations of its stake holders.

Women’s Cell, and SC, ST, Minority Cell run by teachers and student members which prepares our students
to get various scholarships, freeships, etc. for providing them the opportunity for higher education. The
institution stresses outreach programs and inculcates in its students an awareness of the value of holistic
education and empathy for the less privileged sections of society. Social service is a compulsory component
for all students.

Active NCC and NSS units of the college organize outreach programs for the student
community. The college rallies around natural and manmade calamities and often become a
collection center for relief materials. Packaging of these by the students and transportation
to distribution centers is a part of our commitment. Value Education classes once a week for
students of all years (though not mandatory) are held throughout the year to enable students
to discern and make informed choices for life. Soft skills also form part of these classes.

Surendranath college follows an effective individual mentoring system for

students. This individualized form of counselling and guidance activities
has the main motto to address the needs of the students and to help them
find as a friend, as a counsellor, and as a confidante on the campus. This
practice is aimed at fostering a better rapport between the students and the
teachers at a personal level by establishing a trustworthy relationship

backward sections of society who are often first generation learners, the course has
an added social relevance. Those who qualify the examination are provided with
certificates which might be of use in their professional fields. The responses from

housed at the third floor of the Science building with two laboratory cum lecture
rooms and one classroom. Presently, two more laboratory cum class rooms has been
