Through the eyes of a Bhavanite

The curriculum is not designed to combat real world. The content in the textbooks is repeated and not well written. It focuses on the theory aspect. I will also highlight that our college lacks in providing our department facilities so practical study was not carried by the teachers. We didn't had access to computer labs or had a theatre for our drama practices. Teachers would give us important notes so the exams were not difficult because questions were framed from the important notes.

I took admission in the college in 2021, the fees for my first year was 15,000 rupees. Later, for second year, the fees was increased to 22,000 rupees. For my final year, the fees was 24,000 rupees. Computer lab fees is compulsory, although, our department has ever seen our college computer labs. There are many fees divided in the fee structure which are not important and relevant. Scholarships are available for all backward classes through MAHDBD scheme. There is no campus employment. One can indulge in roles such as campus contingent leader, assist in cultural committee; however no stipend is provided. These activities enrich leadership skills and teamwork. The college doesn't provide elevator facilities for students, so I don't think the course fees does justice to what facilities we are offered. Drinking water is accessible and that's the only thing we have access to with the fees. Our classrooms are not clean either.

O2 is an annual fest held by our college for seven days in the second week of december. A drama club, film club, photography club, and visual communication club was formed in the first year by teachers and students if our department. However, after few teachers left the faculty, the club saw a fall in its activites. Our college ground is huge and sports are highly anticipated in our college. The college has two libraries which doesn't have ac. It is accessible to all students; however, 30 rupees is spared by students to make a library pass and take the books home. The campus life is very exciting because our college campus is big. The classrooms are not equipped with facilities. There is a chalkboard in each class. However, the projector works only in few classrooms.

The admission process was smooth. The application process and submission of fees was online. We just had to print the form and receipt and submit to our department heads. A detailed round of hardcopy of documents is also carried that gets check through different teachers followed by the head of the department and representative from the college office.

Our mass media and mass communication faculty was good and understanding. We could approach the teachers whenever there was problem. However, the teachers had their favorites based on their closeness and openess with the teachers. The faculty came from different fields but provided great insights on how media works and shapes the society. Mostly, the experience of the teachers in the media industry played a major role in depending on their credibility and trusting their words.
