My best days

Overall the university is good and the facilities provided are also satisfactory. The major advantage being the nominal fee it charges which enables every person to gain education and also scholarships for those who are needy and meritorious.

The course curriculum focusses on the overall development of the students. The course teaches us the theoretical, practical as well as performing skills. The skills acquired through the course are relevant in teaching and research and most importantly, the course prepares us for public communication, reporting and entertaining industry.

There is a training and placement cell which assists the students in finding appropriate jobs. However, not all departments get job opportunities. The placement cell needs to be improved. It is not that efficient as it should be. But, students from science and commerce departments can surely avail the job opportunities as some highly reputed firms come to offer the opportunities and the packages can be quite good as well.

The fee structure is absolutely feasible and nominal. The fee for the course which I am currently pursuing is 10,020 (for the first semester ) which is actually quite less if we compare it with other universities and institutions.

Extracurricular activities are organised all around the year to keep the students engaged and it actually gives them a chance to their away from their limits, fears and anxieties. It gives them a chance to enhance their skills. Sports competitions, seminars, workshops, talk shows and social service campaigns are organised.

The hostel infrastructure is actually decent. There are well furnished and spacious dining rooms. In the girl's hostel, there is a volleyball court inside the hostel campus. Sports equipment such as cricket bats, balls, wickets and nets are there. There are a photocopier machine and a water heater also. The hostel also has a high-speed wifi connection.

The admission in the university is merit-based for undergraduate courses while for students pursuing M.Phil or P.hd the process consists of an entrance test and an interview round. I got admission by going through the entrance test and viva round. The level of entrance test was not that hard and I was easily able to score the cut off marks. The viva round was quite mind-boggling but I answered the questions quite confidently. For the postgraduate courses, the university has reserved 60 per cent of seats for those who have completed their graduation from the University of North Bengal. The rest 40 per cent of seats are for those who did their graduation from another university.

The teachers are highly qualified and proficient in the subject matter they teach. The teaching methods are quite efficient. They are properly trained and they teach us in an ethical manner. There are doubt clearing sessions every week where the students can discuss their doubts and weak areas. The teachers are interactive and friendly.
