My Review of TGCE, Port Blair

There is a common portal to apply for all the colleges of Andaman. You just need to fill in all your details & select the colleges & courses of your choice & your registration is done. Provisional & Final Merit lists are released on specified dates. The date of Counselling is announced after the release of the Final Merit List. The eligible candidates are categorized in different categories & called upon the basis of merit. All original documents are verified on the Counselling day. And if everything's cool, you are selected.

As the college is affiliated with Pondicherry University, the course curriculum is decided & is according to the University. I chose B.Sc. Computer Science with Integrated B.Ed., as I was deeply interested in Computers & Tech also loved teaching people about it. Few Faculties are Very Good, Some just Alright, rest don't deserve to be teaching at a college. Qualifications are not a measurement of Quality 8-semester exams - with no marking based on the answer - it's based on pure luck & handwriting

The internship is provided for 2 months in different schools on the islands. You get the opportunity to apply whatever you have learned. You get to experiment. You are guided by teachers who have been in the field for more than 15-20 years. It is an excellent opportunity to learn.

Fees are way too less, as it is a Government College : around 4000 - 5000 including exam fees No other scholarships. What else would you need!! Internships are costly as you will need to prepare Attractive Teaching Aids & those are costly No jobs or placements are provided but you get to display your teaching to institutes & which indirectly get you placed.

The Campus Life at TGCE is Awesome. A wide variety of events are regularly held on-campus & that provides you with the opportunity to explore & enhance yourself. Form groups, manage events, take up tasks & responsibilities. You get the opportunity to build up strong bonds with all your classmates as well as most of your college mates. Trips, Campings, Annual Events, Freshers, Farewells are all conducted & managed by students along with Guide Teachers. You will definitely change after you pass out from this institute.
