Remarks
One has to score at least 60% overall in Class 12 boards and at least 60% in English to be eligible for the course. The application form can be found by registering on the admissions website (Bethune admissions.ac.in). The application dates will be updated on the college website (Bethune college.ac.in). The application process was smooth and glitch-free but in the future, I hope a separate entrance test is held instead of just considering the percentages obtained on the 12th boards.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course attracted me due to its novelty and bright prospects. The faculty is well qualified and sufficiently equipped to help students reach their potential. The student-to-teacher ratio is approximately 7:1, which is impressive for a public college. Lessons are well-planned and doubts are cleared as and when they arise. Exams are held timely and the standard of questions is pretty high. Passing is not easy but also not impossible.
Internships Opportunities
Students from the college have interned at Fortis hospital's Mental health care unit, social organizations under Kalam Foundation, All India Radio, and many such esteemed organizations. Not all internships offer high stipends but when it comes to gaining experience, opportunities are plenty.
Placement Experience
The college has a Career Counseling Cell which specifically caters to placements and job opportunities. Seminars on communicative English and workshops on career counseling are frequently held for students of all semesters. Reputed companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, and Genpact recruit students from campus placement services. The number of students getting recruited from campus is around 25 per year.
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fee is nominal and studying is extremely affordable. Considerable financial help and numerous scholarships are available for students from lower-income backgrounds. A notable scholarship is the Swami Vivekananda Merit and Means Scholarship (SVMCM) which provides financial help to students from lower-income families.
Campus Life
There are two libraries in the college, both of which are well stocked with books relating to various courses. Lending books is hassle-free and a boon for students as they don't have to buy a lot of books. There are 6 clubs, covering areas from film and drama to environmental activism. The cubs are managed by the Student Council and are active in their club meets and extra-curricular activities. Students also have the option of joining the National Social Service (NSS). The annual feast of the college is called Aalap and is usually held in December. An annual sports day is also held in the open field on campus every winter.
