Unlocking the Real World: CUK

Some papers need to be updated and should include topic related to current issues and more discussions are need to be conducted in the classroom that improves the critical thinking of the students. For Social Work course field exposure is very relevant and important to increase the knowledge of the trainee. But the department is not providing any field exposure to the trainees according to their specializations. The only field experience students are getting from the one month block placement/ internship, but that is not enough for the students.

For the Social Work students internship organizations are opted and searched by the students only. No oppotunities are provided by the university. In the second year there is one month entirely dedicated for block placement, students will search and apply in the organizations according to their own specializations.

The fee structure is divided into 4 semesters, students have to pay fees for each semester. The average fee for Social Work course per semester is around 7000 for OBC and General category students. The fees includes health, lab, library, students welfare etc. These are 600 each. Students have to pay the fee through the CUK app. SC/ST students have to pay around 4000 for each semester. Scholarships are not received till now.

The annual sports and cultural event is Ankur which is held in the month of April. There are no clubs or any society in the university. The range and accessibility of books and jornals in the library is quite good. The faculties are well equiped with technologies.

The hostel room is congested accomodating 4 students and it provides a study table chair and a cupboard for each student. The mess food is the worst. No quality and repeated menu. The hostel registration are done through the DSW office. The sanitation facility of the Kaveri hostel is very poor and the students complaints are not taken into consideration by the authorities. There is no PG vailable near to the campus.

The application process was easy. The eligibility is 50% in any degree from a university and the admission was according to the CUET entrance exam and the scores of CUET. Students should register and attent the CUET Social Work entrance test.

Few faculties are biased and some are not. The department also requires more efficient faculties. The teaching skills of the faculties is good and some need to be updated in the area. Most of the faculties are old fashioned and are interested in the personal affairs of the students questionong their relationship status and judging them according to that.
