SSW, RN: Made Memories but Not Good Enough

It was the only college in Mangalore that gave Criminology as an option with Psychology so that was my main reason for choosing it. The curriculum is pretty intensive in terms of assignments and projects. In theory, the course is alright but practical wise, there was limited exposure. There should have been more time allotted to learning research methods and stats intensively. There are internals conducted every semester after two months of commencement and finals at the end of the semester. The difficulty level lies in that you should be able to answer long answers in shorter time.

There were no tuition hikes during my time in this college. The tuition was according to the subjects you take. The first two years have higher tuition than the final year as we have to take foundation courses and an extra language course as well. The complete cost of my education came around 1.5 lakhs, including all the club fees, society fees, marks card fees, exam fees etc. There are scholarships available according to reservations. There are campus jobs available for students such as library assistant, computer lab assistant, and evening college assistant. The link for this can also be found on the website, paid per hour.

There are many events held. Traditional day, Freshers Party, Annual Day, Students' Day, Expressions are some events held every year. Expressions is the biggest event with many colleges participating. It is themed by final year students so it is different every year. Students day is the second biggest event and considerably the most fun. The library is well-equipped for research and exam preparation. There is a wide range of books available and it is accessible to the students easily. There is a projector and computer in every class for teaching and presenting. There is a sports club where students participate in different sports events at different levels. There is also NSS, YRC, ECA clubs to choose from. There are no student social groups.

The admission process was pretty simple. The link and instructions are provided on the website itself. Just download and fill the form, submit it to the college email address and wait for confirmation. I got in a few weeks time and was selected for interview which was basically a Q & A session with the HOD of the department. Would have appreciated a more concise and detailed description of the courses and curriculum on the website.
