Jamia millia- A brief intro

There are very few good colleges in India for psychology and Jamia Millia Islamia is one of the best colleges in India for that. The faculty of the college is very nice and helpful. The student crowd is also very good. People from different ethnicity come to Jamia Millia Islamia to pursue their education. This includes both national and international students. This is one of the best things about the college that there is diversity in the college which helps in learning new things about different cultures. This and the high quality of education was the reason I chose this college. I found out about this college via collegedunia.com.

I chose the course of psychology because in future I wanted to become a psychologist which is a booming field in India and Jamia Millia is a college which provides the courses in psychology. The faculty is very knowledgeable and nice. They are always ready to help. The teachers are well qualified and most of them are PhD holders so they have a good grasp of the field. The faculty and student ratio is a bit low. Sometimes they're used to be guest teachers for specific subjects but that wasn't a big issue. There were 2 sessionals in every term and in the term-end a final exam. The difficulty level of the exams was always between moderate to high.

In the last semester of graduation, there used to be placements for the courses. The placements were not really good for every course but only for the selective ones. The placement opportunities for psychology department are not really good and there were very few institutions who used to come for hiring students. Especially for the bachelors, it's not up to the mark as compared to other universities. The few companies that used to come for hiring offered packages from 3-4 lakhs max. My plan after getting a degree was to pursue my masters because without it a bachelors in psychology is of no use in india. There are very few opportunities.

The fees structure of jamia millia islamia is also one of the best things about the college. Since jamia millia islamia is a central affiliated University, the fees is very low and affordable. The fee hike depends on the funds allocated by the central govt. There is no fee hike in recent times and the college is very affordable to everyone. There are scholarships for various quota for students and it can be availed by people through the accounts department. Not everyone is eligible for the scholarships. I didn't get any job from the campus because in psychology, a masters degree is really important to get jobs. A bachelors degree is not enough to practice psychology as a subject.

The life at the campus is really great as there are people from different cultures studying in the university. There used to be annual fest called 'Miras' and one other called 'Taalimi mela' or educational fest which happens every year for 3 days on the foundation day of Jamia Millia Islamia. Other than this, there used to be individual fests of every department. The sports facility at the university is also great. There used to be tournaments for students who were interested in sports and the college even encouraged the students who were good at it. Other than this there were many social clubs in the university like the debating club, art club, acting club, etc. Which students could join by giving trials.
