MSU FROM MY P.O.V

Maharaja Sayajirao University has one of the best Geography courses and not many students know about it. It is one of the few universities that allows both BA and BSc geography students can apply and gain admission in MSc Geography. The geography department comes under the Faculty of Science and it is one of the disciplines and strict faculty of the university, The student ratio is also very high in the faculty. Professors are highly educated and knowledgeable. The teaching method is advanced as they follow the updated syllabus. Each classroom has a smart board/projector. Exams are conducted on time and paper pattern is sometimes quite tough but the way professors teach it is not that difficult to sail through exams and pass.

University conducts its annual fest. Every faculty also has its own annual fest even departments also organise fest annually. Footprints is its annual tech fest. Fests are conducted in the months of January to March. There are thousands of books available at the university library, some departments have their own library and reading room for students and staff. Classrooms have basic amenities like desks, chairs, projector boards, monitors and speakers, dustbins, and notice boards. There are inter-faculty sports and extracurricular activities that are conducted at the university often. The geography department has its own club named Prakruti Young Geographers Club.

Women's college kolkata

The college doesn't conduct any annual fest or tech fest. But we have celebrations on environment day, Earth Day, and many more days. The college has its own library. The books and journals are all time available in the library. The book from the library can be issued for a maximum of 15 days and can be reissued further.

I choose this course because I love geography and wanted to opt for academics. The college does provide a very good environment related to faculty. They are very helpful. The college takes exams semester-wise. We have 4 semesters in our curriculum. And colleges do take mock tests.

A Good College in Howrah

The campus is very good-looking, and the college is very popular in this area. they conduct excursion tours every year for geography students. I did not find any library for geography, so I have no idea about the college library. Every year the college conducts annual sports in the month of January. There was a science club in the college.

I opted for MA in Geography. I Choose this subject because I love this subject. The Faculty and student ratio is 1:20. All faculties have Doctorate qualifications. Term exams are university dependent, so the college is not responsible.

Review of the oldest University of Assam , cotton University

Varsity Week is the cultural week conducted by the university. It is conducted every year in the months of February or March. There is a sports week conducted by the university. Departments, groups, or even single entrees are welcomed. And different cultural programs are conducted throughout the year. Students are encouraged to develop their extra-curricular activities and talents. The university has two general libraries and every department has their own libraries. These libraries are equipped with all the books and journals required for the different courses at the university. They also have old manuscripts and books. If some new journals or any books are not found in the library, then the teachers themselves provide the required materials to the students. The university also has different social and cultural groups. It also has sports clubs. These clubs and groups show great participation.

The geography department at the university is good. The department is small, with a maximum of 30–40 students in each class. This helps in good interaction with the teachers and avoids congestion. The teachers are good and very cooperative. They help the students in every way, be it academic or extra-curricular activities. The department takes part in university activities actively. The teachers also help and are actively involved. All the teachers in the department have PhDs. Teachers use theory as well as practical knowledge to teach the subject. Computers, smart phones, and journals are also used by them. They clear every doubt of the students and also, if necessary, they teach topics beyond the syllabus for future help. The exams are conducted on time. And the question pattern is challenging for the students.

My Days in Women's College, Calcutta

I chose this course because I loved the subject. The faculty is thought not permanent, but knowledgeable and friendly. I had like 4-5 teachers and we were a class of 50. The teachers helped a lot through out the course. The term exams are easy enough if you attend the classes regularly.

We used to have fests and welcoming ceremony to the new comers at Girish Mancha. The library was accesible all the time. I studied Geography. So the geography lab is equipped pretty good. All the instruments are there, even tables with lights for tracing.

My M.sc Journey in WBSU

I have got good grades in Geography honors. Now I want to do higher study in Geography. So I aim to be a lecturer that's why I have taken this course. We have roughly 45 students in our department and around 5 professors So the student-faculty ratio is good. We have around 9 students per one faculty. Every faculty in our university are highly qualified and all of them have done post-doctorate. Their teaching method is very good. They are very interactive in the classes. In covid times they have taken regular online classes. They are very keen to teach us in detail. However, some online classes are boring and some of the classes are interesting. We have a total of 4 semesters and we have to pass all of them to get an M.Sc degree. We have practical exams and internal exams every semester.

Due to covid, our university was shut down most of our university years. So I have not seen any annual fest or cultural programs happening in our university. Some online seminars were organized in our department. We have the best library room available at the university. The room is very big and very well decorated. There have thousands of books are kept on colorful bookshelves and there has been a lot of space and for studying there has a table & chair. The whole room is air-conditioned and painted well. Our classroom size is perfect according to the students. We can seat one student per bench. And the large glass window so the room is filled with natural light. We have a table tennis room and other sports activities available. The campus is big & good. We have a student union.

WBSU-MY 2 YEAR EXPERIENCE

After completing and getting good marks in graduation my next step is to pass MSc with first-class and prepare myself for the NET SET exam so that I can either do a Ph.D. or become a lecturer. We had 4 faculty and almost 42 students in our department. So the student-faculty ratio is 10 students per one professor. But our professors are very good and understanding. They are very interactive in online/offline classes. They have empathy and patience to understand our topic very deeply. They also do regular practical classes. Our professors have done Ph.D. in their field. We had 4 semesters. Every semester we had 5-6 papers and practical exams and internal assessment tests and assignments. Anyone who studies regularly can pass these exams.

Our university has a beautiful greeny campus. It's very much pleasant & refreshing. Our university organize some cultural functions but due to covid most of them did not happen. Our classroom is very clean. We had enough space between two benches. Our classroom was a wide amphitheater that amplifies the professor's voice in order to reach the entire home. Our library is awesome. Thousand of books are well organized on bookshelves. You can find your department book in the Geography section. After taking the library card you can take a book home. We have sports activity every year and we have a student union group.
