Likes

The college's location is very scenic, and the college is quite historically significant.
There are many clubs in the college, and this is a college that places a great deal of emphasis on exracurricular activities.

Dislikes

A lack of facilities within the college (will change, as the building was being renovated while I had to attend onsite college).

Course Curriculum Overview :

The course curriculum was apt, however, I felt as if some of the subjects or rather the specific topics they delved into were somewhat out of touch for the early 2020s. However, most teachers provided us with question banks, PDF study material, and so on. Exams were timely (one unit test and end-of-term test per semester), and projects were also timely by nature (one individual project and one group project termed as SLE.)

Class Size : 110Course Fees : INR 35000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

Adequate internship opportunities were provided by the college on a regular basis via the mediums of WhatsApp, and every company had a stipend provided to the intern bar a few companies. There were both online and offline internships available to us. However, I did not participate in any internship provided by the college and applied for an internship on my own.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

The fees were to be paid upfront and via the student portal provided by the college. I received no scholarships. Regular internship offers in a multitude of companies, both on-site and work-from-home were presented to us via the official WhatsApp groups.

Campus Life :

The college has many clubs and social events on a very regular basis some of which are run by the students themselves, with the college providing an emphasis on extracurricular activities by students. The library was adequately stocked with books. The classrooms were a bit drab when I had to go to college as the building was being renovated, however, I believe this particular statement will change in the future. The campus is a stone's throw from Marine Drive, and there are a few places to eat snacks and a few street vendors not too far from the college.

Admission :

I applied via the official website, paid the upfront fee, and then uploaded the necessary documents to the portal. I applied towards the end of July, and my application was reviewed, the confirmation of which was communicated to me via email and the fee payment was to be made towards mid-September (every part of the process was online, as this was during COVID lockdown). There were options for Sindhi minority reservation, however, as I do not belong to that category I did not apply for it.

KC College - The untold truth

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that influenced my decision to choose this course were hands-on practice, internships, and collaborations within the industry. The curriculum has prepared us well for real-life instances through assignments and other activities. One suggestion for improvement could be that the curriculum be more flexible in terms of online and offline learning both to cater to different students' schedules and internship interests. The difficulty level of our exams is fair and manageable making it good for all.

Life at Bhavan's

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am a second year student in Bhavan's college in the BMM department. During my admissions after 12th , when i looked up for curriculum in Bhavan's a certain subjects like Mobile content creation and photography lured me as they are easily applicable in practical work plus they are in demand in todays media field. The current curriculum is 85% theoretical according to me as only one subject that is theatre studies is practical. Hence the application of current syllabus in real life is questionable. However , it can be useful if one opts for Post graduation. The area where the curriculum needs to improve is to add more practical knowledge and teaching methods should be more interactive. In context of frequency of exams, only 2 end sem exams plus internal exams for 2 credit subjects are conducted. The difficulty level can be rated as mediocre.

Being A Xavierite - Experience to Review

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course has changed a lot from last year due to the NEP guidelines. The new curriculum provides cross-faculty minor courses through which we learn about not only our course but a completely different one too. It is a very new model of timetable and we are the experiment batch. Some suggestions I would give are to provide minors which are related to our subject so that it would be useful to us in future also providing better options in choosing electives. One positive I found is the honours programming which gives us the option to directly take Phd once done with our bachelors. Also the free exit system is also helpful.

Critique of Dr.Babasaheb ambedkar university and its departments

Course Curriculum Overview:

The fact that the curriculum included subjects like art of writing and political science and sociology made it attractive for me. It made me aware of the real world in terms, i had to stay informed with the current affairs of country and its political activities. It made me a better communicator on interpersonal and intrapersonal levels. The teaching method of the teachers didnt expose us or help us at all. My peers and seniors mostly helped me with great many things. The classes were regular at the start of the year but soon the lecturers began to quit and classes became irregular. The exams are the worst for someone who studies and witnesses delinquents cheat their way. Complaints made to the HOD was literally laughed at by the head of the department.

An overview of Guru Nanak Khalsa College

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose to opt for the BMM course because many writers, directors, actors and ad experts and artists have studied in Khalsa College. The curriculum prepares you for real world applications by not only teaching within the portion but also outside the portion. Various recreational activities take place at the college. Areas for improvement would be to decrease the over importance of giving attention to the attendance and project submission. It's college not school the teachers soften a little and try to give students the freedom of exploring other things too. The frequency and timings if the exams are usually the same as ither colleges. There are 6 semesters carried out in three years which are 2 or 3 hours long.

UPG - in detail review!

Placement Experience:

Everyone who is studying at UPG is eligible for campus placements. They provide internship and job offers too. The highest package I think was 17 lakhs and the average is around 8 lakhs which is quite good for a fresher. However, many students don't sit for the placements as they go for higher studies.
