What Students Say
Likes
- It's very renowned and one of the best universities in the world.
- What truly sets my university apart and makes it special to me is its small, tight-knit community. Unlike UBC Vancouver's sprawling campus, our university fosters a close and intimate environment that allows for meaningful connections and personalized experiences.
Dislikes
- Firstly, the lack of vibrant events and social events on campus has left me yearning for a more engaging atmosphere that fosters student connections and memorable experiences.
- Secondly, it is disheartening to see some professors receiving consistently poor reviews from students yet remaining in their positions without any discernible improvement. This raises concerns about the university's commitment to maintaining a high standard of teaching and ensuring student satisfaction.
- Additionally, the inadequacy of transit facilities poses a significant inconvenience for students, making commuting to and from the campus a challenging aspect of university life.
Required Exams for Admission
My overall experience is okay. I am not very happy with the studies and curriculum as well as the campus life but i still got to learn a lot of things which I wouldn't have if I was to be still in India,
Course Curriculum
In my opinion, the courses being taught are outdated and irrelevant in today's world. The course curriculum is along the same wavelength as it was 50 years ago. While there are some business trips and research experience, it is not as much as it should be.
Faculty
One advantage of my faculty is the smaller student population, which results in a more favorable student-to-professor ratio. However, there is a significant disparity among the professors, with some being highly knowledgeable and approachable, while others remain distant and hard to approach.
Campus Life
The campus life leaves much to be desired, as there is a noticeable lack of engaging and enjoyable events and activities. Furthermore, the gym and fitness facilities fall short of expectations, with limited space that can hardly accommodate the number of students.
Placement
One of the major concerns at the university is the dishearteningly low placement rate, which poses significant difficulties for graduates in their pursuit of meaningful career prospects. Securing a good job after completing one's degree has proven to be a daunting task for many students. Addressing this issue is crucial to ensure that graduates are equipped with the necessary skills and support to thrive in their chosen fields and make a successful transition into the professional world.
Accommodation
I live off campus.
Exams
Admission requirements for my admission abroad was IELTS 6.5 minimum or TOEFL, Class 12 more than 85%, and volunteer experience or extracurricular activities. SOP - UBC has it's own set of questionnaire that you have to fill out. It's slightly different from SOP but in the same wavelength. LOR- You have to submit at least 2 LORs from relevant fields. I had a virtual interview for a specific program, where they ask a pre-recorded question and you get a minute to answer them.
Fees
40000 CAD.
