Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Our Institute follows the course curriculum and syllabus which is in line with the UGC defined guidelines for a program at bachelors level. The syllabus of the course covers various subdomains of History like the ancient, mediaeval and modern History in a comprehensive manner. A system of examination that is followed for the course is semester wise system. As a part of the system examinations are held twice in a year that is in total 6 semester examinations are held in the entire course duration.

Placement Experience

2.5

Placements and jobs are something that our Institute fails at miserably. Placement and job guarantee is not there as it is normal government graduation institute which atmost provides you placement assistant but not a good placement offer. One has to strive on their own to get good placement. Internship is not a part of our course.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Being a government institute fees is something that is quite manageable and feasible. For the entire duration of the program one has to pay under Rs 10, 000. The fees that has to be submitted at the start of each academic year is around Rs 3, 500.

Fees and Financial Aid

The West Bengal State Government provide scholarship to meritorious student based on fulfillment of certain criteria. Apart from that the government also provides scholarship to the needy students from the Chief minister's relief fund. In case one is not able to get the scholarship sanctioned than educational loan facility is extended by most of the commercial private and public sector banks.

Campus Life

Our college doesn't things to offer in terms of extra curricular activities. As students we indulge in activities like sports, craft etc on campus however there is are no clubs or dedicated societies for that in the college. In the name of events celebration Republic Day, International Women Day and Independence Day are celebrated. Take in consideration the classrooms, library, seminar hall, playground and other facilities I can say that the overall infrastructure of our college is fine.

Admission

Admission in our college are done based on shortlisting of candidates on fulfillment of the required cut-off for respective course. Cutoff is nothing but the percentage of marks obtained by the student at 10 + 2 level. Since I passed with distinction in 10 + 2, I easily got admission in the program of my choice. The reason for opting this college was that I was looking for a woman's only college and this being that college near to my residence so I opted for it.

Faculty

3.5

Putting my views considering the teaching methodology and student friendly approach I can say that professors in our college are good. They understand their respective discipline not in a mere academic sense but as a discipline they have to teach to the student by making understanding for them easier.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.
