MATS form a student perspective

I took admission in BA psychology and didn't have to appear for any entrance exams, usually at graduation level apart from some famous ranked colleges like DU, Christ, etc you don't have to sit for any entrance test. I contacted my department via phone call, the number was available on the newspaper add and got all the needed information. The staff who answers the phone calls are very cooperative. After having all my queries cleared for example what's the course structure, fees, faculty information, authenticity, etc, I decided I will join the college. You will have to go to the university campus on your own, just ask at the reception area and you will have all your queries cleared.

We had professors who have done phd in various fields of psychology. Our hod has done phd on childhood disorder ADHD. We had one faculty who was himself a counselor and he used to share his work experience along with teaching which used be a fun class and an informative one. We get mid terms exams and term end exams, mid term exams are of 20 marks which conducted in mid of the semester and term end exams are like final exams of 70 marks, 30 marks for practical.

As I was in the undergraduate course of psychology, we had an internship (unpaid) to get clinical experience and write research papers. We went to Dr. Asfaq Hussain's clinic, he is a psychologist at Raipur and had work experience of 11 years. The internship was the best part of the entire 3-year program but apart from this we also got a chance to provide online counseling to covid patients who were in home isolation. It was a health department initiative to take care of the mental health of patients. We counseled over 1200 patients approx.

You will not get a job opportunity as such if you are looking for undergraduate courses, however, the fees in my course were only 17000 which is okay. They have scholarships for reserved categories as well as if you were a meritorious student in school, it will help you in aid in fees.

If you wish to work part-time along with college time can be managed very well. In fact, you can talk with the head of your department and you can get some relaxation from attending classes regularly (only in special cases). There are various fests like, MANCH, MATS fashion fest, annual function, rubaroo, painting, singing, dance competition occasionally throughout the year.
