Swathi's Review On Ethiraj College For Women, Chennai

There were no entrance exams. I got 93.75% in class 12 and secured seat in Ethiraj. It was a wonderful experience.

It is a very interesting curriculum. It is a mixture of both easy and tough subjects. The highlight of this course is the 1 month internship at the end of the second year of study. The student gets to choose a company of her choice and she has to work in the secretarial dept for a month.

Yes there is a one month internship program. There is no stipend of any sort. The student gets to choose a company of her choice. I did my internship in The India Cements Ltd. It was very interesting and we all enjoyed it to the core plus we learnt some of the nuances of companies.

The placement is extremely good. Companies like EY, Delloite, RBS and all take part every year and there are a good number of students who qualify for the job. The salary package is satisfying and they companies also offer options for their students to pursue higher studies with their job.

There are many events like department meets , inter departmental competitions and inter collegiate competitions, the college never fails to recognise talent and encourage others to participate in competitions.the college has won many awards especially for dance and light music.

Yes there is a scholarship facility in the college. Any student who wishes to avail the facility needs to fill up an application and submit necessary supporting documents.

The exam structure is good as it consists of both internal as well as external exams. The internals add upto 40% of total weightage and the remaining is that of external exam. Since a semester system is followed, thee is no pressure on the student to remember a whole lot of syllabus at one point of time.

We need to fill in an application form. The college authorities will calculate the cut off and call the student based in the cutoff. It is different for different castes. The college will give specific dates for admission. The student needs to appear there and pay the fee and secure admission in the college.
