BFA Kolkata: Admission, Courses, Fees, Placements

Bengal Fine Arts College, or BFA Kolkata, has been shaping artistic talent since it was first founded in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, in 1979. This affiliated college is spread out over a compact 1-acre campus and has undergone much development over the past four decades. With only 171 students enrolled and aculty strength of 8, BFA Kolkata ensures that its compact size really does bring a more compact study environment. 

Colleges take pride in the variety of facilities provided to the students in order to enhance the learning experience. The Library is a good collection of books on Fine Arts, well-equipped with Slide Projector and Film Projector along with documentary video cassettes and transparencies. It has sports facilities available to all students for outdoor and indoor games. The Bengal Fine Arts College, Kolkata has spent on good IT infrastructure to stay abreast of the digital age. The college provides hostel accommodation for male students who come from different parts of the country, making it a 'home away from home'.

Bengal Fine Arts College offers six full-time courses to pupils across several art disciplines. At the undergraduate level, there are two BFA and four BA Hons programs. In the case of the former, there are programs for Painting and Sculpture, while the latter offers Hindustani Vocal, Kathak, Tabla, and Light Music with honours. These courses offered are pretty diverse in nature and give each student the opportunity to excel either in visual arts or performing arts. 

Almost all admissions to the BFA courses in Painting and Sculpture are based on merit at the Bengal Fine Arts College. The academic record and potential art-related skills are assessed for admission. Since it is an affiliate, BFA Kolkata follows the same working calendar and schedule for examinations as prescribed by the parent University.
