Assessment of Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences

The course I study is Statistics. It offers wide range of career options from data science to teaching. Even if a student is average, the course can still get them a decent amount of earnings. The curriculum includes various methods to analyse data and check its reliability. This is very important in today's world since all of the companies work on some kind of data only. The course curriculum focuses more on rote learning and performing calculations. It do covers the practical aspect too but it is not sufficient. The practical to learning ratio should be at least 70:30 since most of the calculation part cam be done using softwares readily available in the market for free. The curriculum should be more focused on developing the analytical skills of the students. The DU conducts exams twice in a year. I feel this is sufficient. The colleges should take regular class tests in between so that the syllabus does not seem too heavy at the end of the session.

The tuition fee for statistics in the year 2023-24 was 22500. Other than this, students had to pay examination fees twice during the session. The exam fees may vary anywhere between 1500-2300 depending on the various subjects the student chooses. The complete cost for the education for statistics honours in DU would be around 1,10,000 for 4 years including the college fees. Scholarships are available for financially weaker students of the college.

The overall campus life is good. Three fests are held annually, the technical fest 'TRAP' in rhe month of November, the sports fest in the month of January or February and the cultural fest 'Caravan' in March. The library is also a big one, spread on 3 floors of the college. It has a range of books and can be issued for free for a specific time period. The facilities provided are also fine. Water is readily available. The computers are also new and of good quality. The college also has an elevator. The clasroom conditions are also good. They have projectors in every classroom. There are many sports too in the college including volleyball and football. They have a big ground to practice and also take students to stadiums too for practice purposes. The college also has many student societies and clubs. They hone the student's skills while also focusing on social issues of this world. They get a certain amount of funding from the college itself in order to run its programs.

A student must have studied mathematics in class 12 to be able to secure admission in statistics honours in DU. The application form is available on the csas portal. Students must undertake CUET exam to qualify for admission in DU. The applicatikn form fees for general category students is approx 1500. The exam is conducted after the 12th board results, that is, in May or June. The reservation benefits are there too but were not availed by me. The CUET exam is conducted once a year. The syllabus is 12th based and the exam is not very tough. If you study thoroughly in your 12th for your boards, you would be able to crack the CUET exam. The admission process is online and is quite hassle free. One just needs to submit correct documents and pay the fees for the year to secure their admission. The fees is also refundable if someone doesn't like the college or course after attending some of the classes.

There are approximately 45 students in a classroom. This is not a very big number. So, the things are managed effectively while teaching. The teachers do teach to the best of their abilities and provide students with handwritten notes. The notes are very helpful during the exams and almost 80% of the paper is covered in the notes itself. They also take doubts through WhatsApp and in classrooms too. They take regular tests also to assess the students' progress. This also makes exam stress less. Overall, the teachers are approachable and can assure the answers to each of the doubts of the students.
