Institutional Distinctiveness

Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya focuses on outcome based education and holistic development of the students. Apart from imparting theoretical knowledge, the faculty members put utmost effort to enhance life skills, communication, comprehension and analytical power of our students. In spite of being a comparatively new college with a very small campus situated on a thoroughfare of the city, Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya runs eight undergraduate Major (Honours)/ Minor (General) and two post graduate courses. The PG courses offered by the departments of Bengali and Commerce are exceptionally affordable. After obtaining the postgraduate degree from this college under the affiliation of the University of Calcutta, some of our students have joined the academia as faculties of different institutions. Some others have secured jobs in various other sectors. Some of our undergraduate students from the departments of Bengali, History, English and Commerce have also been pursuing higher education. This is no mean achievement for an institution such as NBM which provides an inclusive and comfortable academic space to a majority of young adults coming from the underprivileged and minority communities not only of the southern part of the city of Kolkata but also of the suburbs and even the semi-rural and rural areas of the South 24 Parganas. Many of our students are also first and second generation learners. Hence, it can proudly be asserted that, notwithstanding numerous structural and infrastructural challenges, the authority and staff of Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya have constantly been striving to expand the educational horizon to include a greater number of learners and, thus, contributing in the making of a smarter nation of the 21st century equipped with a ready workforce.

 

 The Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya campus has great locational advantage. Very well connected by both railways and the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, NBM ensures educational prospect of young aspiring learners coming from the southern outskirts of Kolkata as well as the remote areas of southern Bengal. Given the factor of easy commutability, the NBM campus is also the preferred examination centre for different university and national and state-level competitive examinations. The college is adjacent to the Kasba Police station and also quite near to a number of government and private hospitals, such as, C.G.H.S Rajdanga and Ruby General Hospital. Besides, it is only around half an hour to 40 minutes travel from Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya to the National Library, one of the most easily accessible and free knowledge repositories in this entire country, situated at Alipur. Moreover, surrounded by other degree colleges, educational and professional institutions of south Kolkata along with Jadavpur University, located not too far from the campus, Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya enjoys the privilege and potency of cooperation, collaboration and competition among our students and staff.

 

 Taking into account the practical needs of the majority of our students, Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya has established a very active placement cell. This cell organizes various seminars, career scope enhancement programmes, training workshop and career opportunity awareness sessions in collaboration with a number of professional and job generating agencies. NBM also conducts various add on courses with the purpose of equipping students with alternative professional skills and interests to ensure that they can earn their living and contribute, as per individual ability, to the growth and prosperity of their families and communities. Students are also encouraged to participate in various co-curricular and extracurricular activities so that academic learning does not appear as dull and drab to them and they remain confident about their own community, ethnic, religious and cultural identities and gain a broader perspective on holistic education. It should also help them to be respectful to any culture other than their own. Most importantly, the staff and faculty members of NBM are committed to provide a safe, secure, inclusive and comfortable space for all its students irrespective of their class, caste, gender or any other identity with the inherent motto of inclusivity, creativity and harmony.
