Xavier's Review On Sri Pratap College, Srinagar

I recently took JUET (Jammu University PG Common Entrance Test) for PG in Physics. I had two options, Mathematics and Physics. But my passion to unravel the secrets of nature made me go for Physics.

The course structure is exceptionally good but unfortunately no or very little focus on Research. Talking about the faculty, the college has a high class and a reputed faculty with all of them being doctorates.

My internship experience was pretty good. I worked with HDFC for about a year. Almost 30-35 companies visited the college last year about 200 students did their internship with 20 companies.

The placement opportunities are not that much. This is the only front where this college is lagging behind. Only 2 students were placed in 2014 in Wipro and HCL.

The college holds only annual festivals like the College Annual Day. It is a pretty large event and various scholars from within the state/country attend the venue.

The College awards the top 3 students every year with a Merit Scholarship.

There are about 2000 students studying in the college out of which 300-400 are girls. The college hosts students from around the country and has a very diverse atmosphere. About 1/3rd of the total students are nonlocals. The college organizes cricket and football matches at intercollege/state level. Debates and seminars are also organized on regular basis.

Hostels are not that good but looking at the fee they charge, it's a thumbs up from me. They only charge a mere sum of Rs 2000/- per month and serve you with the most delicious food you can get in that rate. Moreover they are pretty well organized.

The alumini of this college include some prominent polititions of J&K. The seniors and the alumini are constantly in touch with the students. There is also an Alumini Association of this college. Overall experience on this front is 9/10.
