What Students Say
Likes
- Speaking about the faculties in Microbiology department of Central University of Tamil Nadu, they're really helpful and cooperative. They help you in academics as well as help you to get into internship opportunities
- Hostel has been a big positive attraction. They are well built. The infrastructure is attractive and you can feel home
- Campuss life is a positive factor. If you're surrounded by good people, you can enjoy the campuss to it's fullest
Dislikes
- Mess food can be of poor quality at times. People used to fall sick occassionally
- The university is situated in the remote backgrounds of Thiruvarur. So for emergency situations, you need to travel a bit for getting things
- Bus facilities to town is a problem. There is a single bus that takes you from University to Thiruvarur and they run only 4 times a day
Course Curriculum Overview
The syllabus of my course is actually good and covers major areas of Microbiology with insights on the future applications too. Coming to the exam point of view, the exams aren't very hard. An average or above average student can clear the papers with some effort. The way they conduct exams are pretty impressive as they give the students a day or two off after each exams for preparation so that we won't be exhausted.
Internships Opportunities
I've done one month internship in the university and the university provides us the chance to do internship here itself. If we are interested to go outside, the department helps us with the recommendation letters. The placement is pretty rare when coming to life science field. But companies like Federal Bank etc conducts campuss placement which offers job placement for students from all departments.
Fees and Financial Aid
Tution fee per semester falls almost 17600 per student. Which is actually pretty justifying considering the weightage of the course. We have the opportunity to get scholarship, so that almost our entire tuition gets covered under this. The hostel fees is just 2000 for 6 months which is very formidable. Coming to placement part, certain department offer campuss placement while life science department won't. The departments do help you to get into internship at the University or elsewhere.
Campus Life
The library has got vast collection of books and is accessible every day upto 9 pm. We can utilise the reading room close to the library for 24/7 too. There's vast opportunity to involve in various sports activities like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, badminton, table tennis etc on daily basis. Cultural events and fests are conducted and celebrated based on the occasions. There is a student council run by representatives elected by the students.
Admission
The admission was through CUET(PG) examination. I got admitted under OBC reservation and i scored 183 in CUET life science examination in the year 2023. I got alloted in the 5th allotment. The exams were actually good and you can crack it with some effort and preperation
Faculty
The faculties are well qualified and literally everyone are having Phd and are engaged in some research works. They've got numerous scholars under them too. The faculties are always willing to help us out and they even teach pretty well. Apart from minor flaws from one or two faculties, the rest are actually good
