My Year at Monad University

I chose this University because it is close to my uncle's home. I would easily be able to commute from there and this was the best university I was getting in my field of interest that is computer science with my scores. And it is actually one of the top private universities in Uttar Pradesh and the top university in the region so I was happy. The admission process was relatively simple. At first, I looked at the the eligibility criteria, I do not exactly remember what they were but they were pretty basic. Then I got a DD for 6000 rupees and filled in the application form with the documents and my JEE Mains score. I think direct application from the office can also be done. Later when I checked in after the announcement of the merit list I found out that I had been selected.

My department's course curriculum is really comprehensive. We have a very good Faculty to student ratio so we often get individual help. Our professors actually encourage us to work on projects to learn on the job so to say. I think it is a very good environment for learning.

I would say that the placements here are pretty well equipped. As first year students we were provided internship on an initial basis and then I think our professors and advisors will help us get internships for our second and the third year students internships based o our interests. Our seniors told us that placement drives are arranged with all the reputed firms and the average packages offered range from between 3 lakh per annum and 7 lakh per annum.

My total fees for the course is about 600000, I am not sure about the exact amount. I do not get a scholarship but some of my friends do so I have heard about it from them. I think the university gives a 50% to 80 % Scholarship available for eligible candidates. And a whooping 100% Scholarship for SC/ST Candidates. Those, I am told is subject to State & University regulations but none of my friends had difficulty claiming it.

My friends and I enjoy our life in campus to the fullest. There are major festivals celebrated which are a lot of fun. Ad then there are the conferences and seminars with long names and even longer hours which are not as boring as I make them sound. It is actually quite the learning experience, if I were to be honest. There are sports facilities too, courts and everything. My absolute favorite would be badminton in winter, those are really good.
