Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I would rate the curriculum a 8/10. Although, we have a very creative bunch of teachers, there is a need to update the curriculum. We still follow traditional methods of learning which creates a hige problem bridging the gap between the education here verses the education abroad.I belief that there is a need to shift to a more field oriented form of education rather than a theoretical approach to the study. In that sense, there is a need of total reform.

Internships Opportunities

4

I am not currently under the internship program but many of my seniors are doing internships for which they even get paid from the college for their expenditures if any and beyond it provides them with the necessary exposure.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure in Edmund's for the course of Bachelor in Arts (Ba Sociology) 2024 per semester including the Mdc's and Sec's as per NEP 2020 is 18,500 approximately so per year it costs a students of sociology hons a sum of 37,000 approximately. The fee structure is subject to change however any increase in the fee structure is rarely noticed and if noticed it is not by a huge sum of money (not more than 500). As for courses with practicals such as physical sciences, the fee structures differs and is slightly higher compared to subjects without practicals.

Campus Life

5

The college campus here at Edmunds provides the perfect environment for a student and aids in his/her learning process. We have a very green campus and a very vibrant campus life to go along with it. Everyone is very sociable and the variety of cultural communities and clubs provide the students with opportunities to grow, learn and interact at a personal level and build meaningful relationships.

Admission

I did get into the other colleges that I applied to but I wanted to pursue Sociology and not all the other colleges provided a course in the same. I had also heard a lot about the reputation that the college holds and the enthusiasm of the faculty members that encouraged me to pursue Sociology here.

Faculty

5

The faculty members are very friendly and approachable. The teachers are very creative and expressive with their teaching methods and always strive for betterment. The course structure is very diverse and we get to learn beyond what is prescribed. The examinations are usually held under NEHU (North East Hill University) which is why we may face problems at times when it comes to the results announced as it is usually irresponsibly conducted but the examinations conducted by the institution itself, internals and practicals are carried out effortlessly without the possibility of any misconduct. NEHU follows the marking scheme given and followed by all national universities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

It was not my actual mind to opt my major which is history, since it was hard to find open colleges late I had to adjust to it. It might be better since I had a habit of remembering things that are upto no use in the present or maybe better for securing jobs as it is quite in needy in these aspects. It's still not very clear in my part but it partially taught us the basics It gives us 3 hours of time per paper and it's not very different or very hard because it has been always the same pattern along with the portions

The course is quite vast. But it only consisted of three subjects for my batch before NEP. We only have Western music, Hindustani classical music and regional music. But courses with NEP has a lot. And not just focuses on music but extras too.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The way they prepare the question is the main reason for me to choose this college. They really provide not only bookish knowledge but also how to deal with the real world. The examination that they conduct are very reasonable because they give us the amount of time that a normal students need to be prepared for an examination. So I think it's quite reasonable and nice.

I would rate an 8 because curriculum is essential to guide teachers in what to teach, how much depth of knowledge is needed for the grade and a timeline to follow so the syllabus will be completed. Curriculum needs to focus on what you can do with information

NEHU syllabus is quite good I should say, especially with the introduction of the NEP(New Education Policy) Well regarding the curriculum, I would say the teachers play and important part regarding that situation. However, exams or tests are becoming quite a headache for the students compared to the duration of our courses
