College experience of an Undiscovered Genius

I chose mathematics because I love maths. Per batch on average there are only 20 students. In BSc mathematics major boys are more in number than girls with 5:1 ratio. In other science majors girls and boys are around in the ratio of 1:1 with average 20 - 25 students per batch, same as mathematics. Around 6-7 teachers are there per major on average and around 15 for commerce. All the teachers are highly experienced with decades of teaching experience and there are rarely any vacancies. Term exams are not conducted timely as my batch got admitted in the month of September and all semester are shorter than usual to make up for the time lost due to Corona pandemic. Term exams are not that difficult as well as not that hard. They are of the optimum level and with regular studying a good score can be secured.

Fees are extremely affordable. They never axceed around Rs.5000 annual. Maybe a couple of thousands more for computer science majors. There is around Rs.1500 per semester exam fees. State scholarships are availed by the college who apply for it. Main two scholarships are post matric scholarship and ug merit scholarship. There are no financial assistance or campus jobs available in my university.

Annual sports fests are conducted each year in the month of December. Many tech fests and workshops are conducted frequently every month except for exam months. Library is full of all the books of all the majors or minors written by famous writers. Except those many books like novels, fictions / non-fictions etc. are also there. Sports is a major forte of our university as many sport events are conducted frequently by the state government.

Eligibility is to have completed 12th. Selection into my college is based on 12th percentage. It's a merit based selection system. Application form is available in the SAMS(student academic management system) Odisha website. There are reservations for students of sc/st category and students belonging to minorities. Overall the admission process is good but slow. It takes months for to get admission. If this long and arduous process can be made simpler and faster then it would be great.
