EXPERIENCE IN SPMC

I got selected on a merit basis (with 88.25% of the best 4 subjects) in SPMC in the 2nd cut-off ( having eligibility 88%). I qualified several other colleges in the 1st cut off but I preferred this college over others because I liked the environment of SPMC also, we were going to be the first batch of the department of Geography of SPMC so this thing also excited me.

Geography having wider scope attracted me to pursue it. The course of Geography is of multidisciplinary nature because in the past 3 years we studied a variety of papers like Geomorphology, human geography, Remote sensing and GIS, Fieldwork and Research Methodology, Population Geography, Regional development and planning, political geography, Evolution of geographical thought, Hydrology and Oceanography, etc. The CGPA was calculated on the basis of Internal Assessment of 20 marks, Attendance of 5 marks, Theory exam of remaining 75 marks which were of moderate level. The faculty-student ratio is fair enough (43:3) therefore, teachers are able to allocate enough time and attention to each student. The faculty members are very cooperative and encouraging. We are fortunate enough to have such well-qualified and helping teachers as our mentors.

Companies like Quollab, Apna Campus, Kollege Connection, Blitz jobs, Themerakigirl, Glevy service India private limited, DDMS, Tripgix, Pratham, etc. hire students.

The college placement cell is quite active. Students become eligible for placements in the final year. Before COVID 19 placement fair was organized and after pandemic the cell provides information about online internship and placement opportunities through social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp groups.
