Remarks

This college had everything for a student. The best part of this college was as follows- they had different cells including anti-ragging cells and placements cells which helped us a lot with our problems. The medical facility provided to us was extraordinary. Every year our college used to have parents teachers meeting for giving our parents, feedback about us. The use of ICT in teachings upgraded their teaching style to the highest point. This college was complete package for education as well as physical and emotional development of a student.

Course Curriculum Overview

The Course structure was very well designed according to the latest demands. Our curriculum was a complete blend of modern as well as traditional topics. Our exams were a little tough even compared to today's exams.

Placement Experience

In my time our college was one of the best colleges for placement and job opportunities. We got a wide range of opportunities from different companies. I too got my job from the college campus with a very high package.

College Events

4.5

Sports day was the most frequent event of our college. Many other activities like karate etc helped us to defend ourselves in our needed time. Several other sports including football, cricket, etc was mostly played inside our campus. We often had many interstate and intercollege competitions on several sports. There was also a wide no of cultural programs that always inspired us in some way and gave us happiness.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure of this college is quite affordable. For my BA course, they charged me something 4000 which included all the other required field charges like library charges, etc. The fee was never a tension in this college.

Fees and Financial Aid

There were many types of scholarships available for economically deprived students in our college. Even if due to any reason we were unable to get scholarships, there were many kinds of educational loans for us from different banks. But the fee was so low for this college that we didn't even need any loans or scholarships.

Campus Life

4.5

There were many kinds of extracurricular activities that happened in our college. Annual Exhibitions, Seminars, Educational programs, etc took place in a daily manner. We often went on study tours to the Okayti tea garden. Different festivals including international days were celebrated in our college every year.

Admission

I got admission here in 2015. Everything was online only. Anyone with 60% or above was eligible to apply. I too applied here and gave my results copy along with the application. After some time I got a call for the counseling process.

Faculty

Faculty members were excellent in their jobs. Most of the professor's teaching style was too different and so good that we didn't even need to study that topic on our own. They always guided us with our academics and made all of us a better person.

The campus is very spacious the college has every facility
A fully equipted studio and lab for Journalism students

Dislikes

Things i disliked was the most has to be the locality the college is really nice but the locality is a bit shady

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to take up Journalism as a career and the thing which caught my attention in this college is that they have a fully equipted studio room and other colleges may have one but the students even publish there own news report here it prepars us very well for the real world

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.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

Likes

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.
