Ashok Mehta's Review On National Institute Of Oceanography - [NIO], Panji

The course curriculum is interlinked with the study matter of the oceans and all the articulations of all the aspects of Oceanography which has all the clear convergence. We are given to write a thesis which should be inclusive of all the necessary factors and which we have to submit by the end of 4 years.

The institute gives opportunities for the graduates and post-graduates with internships in which they are allowed to carry out various projects related to oceanography. These internships are really beneficial for us to grow and get well-researched information of our own.

The fee structure per year is RS. 14,000 and the total fee for the complete course i.e for four years is Rs.56, 000 which is feasible and also as compared to other courses, also less than other institutes. The tuition fee per semester is Rs.7000 which is inclusive in the total amount of the fees.

We do have extracurricular activities in the form of guest lectures, research work, and projects. We have an open day on the Foundation Day of the institute where the gates of the institute for the outsiders. On this day we let the world known about our various research works and make them understand everything.

A student needs to qualify the entrance exam of CSIR or UGC NET JRF and also a person is having basic qualifications with sufficient training of 2-3 months is necessary. Then one can apply for the application online. I fitted in the first one, so I got selected for the interview round which happens only once in a year. Luckily I cleared that also and got an admission in the institute.

The college makes sure that all the faculty is very professional and highly qualified and also they take up their responsibilities more efficiently. They also have various training programs for the faculties which helps the faculty be up to date and teach us more perfectly. The faculty makes the organization a high performance organization.
