What Students Say?
Likes
- The environment is good, it is coverd in evergreen plants and flowers and there is construction on fountains going on. o
- the college has a big playground. As someone who liked playing cricket and football, it was by most favorite place in that college. Many sporting events take place there. Other sports were also played including Badminton, Volleyball, Table tennis etc
Dislikes
- The boys bathrooms are in really bad shape, you cannot help but puke because of the smell. Derogatory and vulgar images are made on the walls and the administration doesn't do anything. In the past 3 years they haven't cleaned it even once.
- The main college building is bad shape which is actually a heritage site as it was a palace of Hari singh. The wooden benches are really old, there is no proper lighting,the white boards is still being used rather than projectiles
Course Curriculum Overview
All i wanted was to complete my graduation as soon as possible to become eligable for government exams. i choose the easiest one there was with education and sociology as my core. For further academic pursuits the curriculum prepares you well as the minor and skill subjects keep changing giving you a broader sense of academia. For real world applications i have to say not much as it will largely depend on what you will choose as your skill subject . Most of the curriculum is bookish. A semester exam should be held after 6 months as usual. But in my college this was never followed. I am in my fourth year of my 3 year graduation, i think that gives you an idea. The exams are really easy as most of social science just go a little deeper to what you already have studied at 10+2 level.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions
when i took the admission in cluster university sringar, the old educational policy was in place, here is what i paid Registration fees--700 yearly fees for 2 semesters--5000 approx exam form submission fees per semester--1350 scholerships are available for physically challenged students and backward classes. concerned department is put in place for submission of scholarships like NSP Fees for medical subjects was higher by about 30% in comparison to what i paid. lab fees, id card charges and other charges come under your semester fees what you pay.
Campus Life
world recognized days are celebrated including women's day, environment day, independence day etc. other than that there are no festivals celebrated. There is an estimated collection of 2000 books there which by given standard is low i think. English literature is avialable in good quantity but medical journels are like rain in desert. My college lacks heavily in technological provisions. Only 2 classrooms are equipped with smart boards .Most classrooms only have white boards. My college has a big playground and sports is qiute a big thing. Inter college and inter district matches are held regularly. Also there is a wide range of extracurricular activities organised by NSS. other than NCC and NSS there are no clubs or groups
Admission
I applied to Amar singh college srinagar which comes under the control of cluster university srinagar. I got the admission there as i scored well in the enterence exams. I chose this college because it was the closest to my home and didn't want to live in a hostel. Admissions in my college are done on the basis of scores in CUET examination held by NTA. A candidate will have to give enterence test then the college will select him on his scores+marks scored in 12th exams (must score more than 40%).Then the college will issue courses to students and they have choice to reject or accept the given course. Then there will be original document verification with fee procedurs.
Faculty
The faculty to sudent ratio is around 40:1 The faculty is nice usually and do help with your concerns regarding your studies. The faculty i didn't like was the faculty of Urdu. i chose urdu language as my minor subject in first year and i regretted it. There were never found in their office and would cancel classes without informing student. Faculty members were more present in staff rooms rather than classes. It was the only faculty in my college i didn't like. In a semester there are two exams, internal and external. In internal examination there is usually a class test of the topics given by the teacher or they could go for assignment and viva. In external like usual there's a wriiten discriptive examination of all your syllabus.
