Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is well designed and well structured. As the institute offers an integrated course, the duration is of 5 years with 10 semesters. The focus is given on both research and practical applications, but the research domain is the institute's strong point.

Placement Experience

The college has a great reputation for its research. The placement cell does help in providing training and internship opportunities for students with a good stipend. We are do provided with good research opportunities with a stipend of around 30-40K per month.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is quite feasible with only around 25,680 Rs per year. These fees will cover tuition, admission, and other fees. If someone opts for a hostel, then they have to pay somewhat around 2K Rs per month.

Campus Life

We have regular seminars and workshops here. Apart from that, we do a lot of other club activities. We have sports facilities available here with annual sports events. We also celebrate our cultural fest and all other festivals in our campus.

Admission

Getting admission here is pretty challenging. One needs to appear in their entrance test UPST and if cleared then there will be an interview. Admissions also happens on the basis of JEE or NEET score and will be directly called for interview if scored well in those entrance exams. For me, it was UPST and then interview.

Faculty

4.5

Faculty members are all highly qualified and selected after a good screening test. All are highly knowledgable with good contributions in their domain of expertise. We also have some guest lecturers who are pretty good.

GO FOR IT!!

Course Curriculum Overview:

There are several prospects, especially peer-to-peer counseling, where you get a mentor. We call it mentor mentee program. So, there will be groups of students, and each group will have a mentor who helps you whenever you face any issues whether in real life or in your academic journey. They’re always there for you. There are also remedial classes, and extracurricular activities are included in the curriculum. You even get the freedom to choose what you want to pursue creatively, like joining poetry clubs and similar groups. Right now, I’m at Banaras University, and the curriculum here is really good. We have sessions on public speaking, how to conduct interviews, and many other practical skills. These are highly commendable because they help you in professional situations like the one I’m in now. However, I would say that teachers could be a bit more active with electronic tools like using PPT presentations or audio-visual methods instead long lecture sessions. As for exams, I wouldn’t say they’re too difficult because there are many weekly assessments and sessionals, which actually help you evaluate yourself better.

The college is not really what one would expect from a regular college since at its heart, it is a research institute. However, it is adaptable and seeks to provide a good environment to the few students it enrolls to mould them into good researchers.
