SNU REVIEWS FROM A STUDENTS POV(POINT OF VIEW)

ARCHITECTURE CAREER IS QUITE UNIQUE AND INTERESTING RATHER THAN OTHER COURSES OFFERED NOWADAYS. THIS COURSE OFFERS VARIOUS JOB OPPOURTUNITIES AND SCOPE TO CONTINUE STUDY FURTHER AND IN DIFFERENT COURSES. ARCHITECTURE IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF EVERY COURSES IN THE WORLD AS IT GIVES US THE IDEA ABOUT HISTORY,PHILOSOPHY, HUMAN BEHAVIOUR, LIFESTYLE, FUTURE ASPECTS,UNDERSTANDING SPPACES AND THE CULTURE. MORE VISTS TO CONSTRUCTION SITES AND BUILDING WILL HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND WELL THE COURSE AND THE NEED TO DETERMINE STUDY OF IT. THE EXAMS ARE NOT FREQUENT AS IT PRACTICAL BASED COURSE WHICH FOCUSES MORE ON UNDERSTANDING. THOUGH THERE ARE 2 EXAMS AND RETEST AVAILABLE. THE TWO EXAMS DURING A SEMESTER ARE - MID SEMESTER EXAMS, END SEMESTER EXAM

INTERNSHIPS OFFERED ARE FOR 12 MONTHS IN THE WHOLE DURATION OF THE COURSE. AS IT IS A NEW COLLEGE THERE IS NO STUDENT WHO GOT A INTERNSHIP. THE ROLE FOR THE INTERNS IS TO ACT AS A JUNIOR ARCHITECTS UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF SENIOR ARCHITECTS.WHICH HELPS STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR FUTURE WORK AFTER GRADUATING

STUDENTS ARE GIVEN INTERNSHIP THROUGH WHICH THEY CAN GET CONTACTS FOR FUTURE JOBS. AFTER COMPLETING GRADUATION COLLEGE PROVIDES PLACEMENT IN ARCITECTURE FIRMS WITHIN THE CITY AND OUTSIDE THE STATE AS WELL. AS THE COLLEGE IS A NEW ARCHITECTURE COLLEGE THERE ARE NO PLACED STUDENTS YET AFTER THIS YEAR TE FIRST BATCH WILL GET THEIR PLACEMENT. WHICH WILL BE QUITE EASY AS THE HOD IS A VERY FAMOUS GUY WITH HIGH PROFILE CONTACTS. COLLEGE WILL PROVIDE 100 PERCENT PLACEMENT. AFTER COMPLETING THE DEGREE I WILL WORK FOR A FEW YEARS THEN OPEN MY OWN FIRM AND AFTER FEW MORE YEARS COMPLETE MY MASTERS AND APPLY ABROAD.

AS A CURRENT ARCHITECTURE STUDENT OF SISTER NIVEDITA UNIVERSITY, KOLKATA . I AM PLEASED WITH MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR. THE UNIVERSITY OFFERS EXCELLENT FACILITIES THAT CATER TO THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS, ALTHOUGH THE FEES FOR THE NEWER BATCHES HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE, THERE ARE SCHOLARSHIPS PROVIDED WHICH REDUCES THE FEES SIGNIFICANTLY YET THE FEES REMAIN QUITE AFFORDABLE COMPARED TO OTHER COLLEGES IN KOLKATA. THE COLLEGE OVERALL IS PERFECT FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NEW TO ARCHITECTURE AND HAVE NO BACKGROUND/KNOWLEDGE TO ARCHITECTURE MY YEARLY FEES- 85540 (PER SEMESTER-42770) BREAKUP OF YEAR FEES(85540) TUTION FEE-46060 (PER SEMESTER-23030 ) TERM FEE-39480 (PER SEMESTER-19740) FIRST PAYMENT-78770 THIS INCLUDES FIRST SEMESTER FEES ALONG WITH ADMISSION FEES ALL MY BATCHMATES ALMOST PAYS THE SAME AMOUNT BUT SOME STUDENTS WHO GOT HIGHER MARKS IN THEIR CLASS 12 PAYS LESS AS THEY GOT MORE SCHOLARSHIP. SCHOLARSHIP PROVIDED IS MERIT BASED WHICH IS DIRECTLY FROM THE UNIVERSITY

AS EVERY OTHER COLLEGES THERE ARE FEST EVENTS ORGANISED BY THE COLLEGE. THERE ARE EVENTS AND FEST ORGANISED BY INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS AND A COLLEGE FEST. DANCE, SINGING ACTING AUDTIONS ARE QUITE FREQUENT IN THE COLLEGE WITH SA RE GA MA AUDITIONS AND OTHER ZEE AUDITIONS GOING OUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.THERE ARE BENGALI LOCAL CHANNELS AUDITIONS AS WELL. WITH GREQUENT VISITS FROM FAMOUS ARTISTS. THERE IS A VAST AND UNCOUNTABLE VARIETY OF BOOKS AVAILABLE IN THE LIBRARY. I HAVENT YET BOUGHT A BOOK FROM MY OWN MONEY AND I USE LIBRARY BOOK FOR STUDIES. THERE ARE SMART BOARDS, PROJECTORS,AC AND VARIOUS OTHER FACILITIES PROVIDED BY THE COLLEGE. SPORTS PROGGRAME ARE ORGANISED BY THE COLLEGE AS WELL AS THE ARE INDIVIDUAL SPORT EVENTS OF DIFFERNT DEPARTMENTS. EACH DEPARTMENTS HAVE STUDENTS HEAD AND PROFESSORS ARE THERE WITH THE POST OF HANDLING STUDENTS PROBLEM.

AS THERE ARE VERY FEW ARCHITECTURE COLLEGES IN KOLKATA.I APPLIED IN OM DAYAL INSTITUTION,JADAVPUR COLLEGE,TECHNO UNIVERSITY I REJECTED OM DAYAL BECAUSE IT WAS VERY FAR FROM KOLKATA. AND WAS ALMOST IN SOME RURAL AREA WITH NO FACILITIES. AND TRANSPORT.THE COLLEGE FELT LIKE A DESERTED PLACE WITH NO POSITIVE ENERGY IN THE CAMPUS. I DID NOT GOT ADMISSION IN JADAVPUR BECAUSE THE CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION WAS THROUGH WBJEE ENTRANCE EXAM AND I DID NOT APPEARED FOR THAT EXAMS. I REJECTED TECHNO INDIA BECAUSE IT WAS ALOMST SAME AS MY COLLEGE AND THE ADMISSION FEES AND SEMESTER FEES WERE TOO HIGH WITH NO SCHOLARSHIP GIVEN TO REDUCE THE FEES. I CHOSE SNU ARCHITECTURE DEPT. BECAUSE OF THE FACULTY AND THE WAY THEY INTERACTED AND APPROACHED ME WITH A VERY FRIENDLY BEHAVIOUR AND ASSURANCE FOR INTERNSHIP AND PLACEMENT GURANTEED. THE ADMISSION PROCEES IS VERY EASY AND STUDENT FRIENDLY.JUST THE LAST EXAM RESULT WITH IDENTITY AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND ADDRESS PROOF. ELIGIBLIY-NATA EXAM-ABOVE 70 JEE PPR-2-60

FACULTY ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND INTERACTIVE HELPING TO NURTURE WEAK AND STRONG STUDENTS. THE FACULTY ROOM AND THE HOD ROOM IS ACCESIBLE TO ALL THE STUDENTS WHICH MAKES IT UNIQUE UNLIKE OTHER COLLEGE AND DEPARTMENTS.THIS SHOWS THE BONDING AND WELCOMING NATURE OF THE FACULTIES. FACULTY TO STUDENT RATIO-15:1 WHICH IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ARCHITECTURE COURSE. BEST FACULTY NAMES-POULAMI BANERJEEE,ABHIRUP CHANDA,SOUMYADEEP,IPSITA SHII, THERE ARE NO FACULTIES WHICH STUDENTS DON'T LIKE OR ANY REASON TO DISLIKE THEM. THERE ARE 2 EXAMS IN A SEMESTER. WHICH ARE QUITE EASY AS THE TOPICS ARE VERY WELL DISCUSSED AND EXPLAINED DURING THE CLASSES. THERE ARE NO STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO CLEAR EXAMS EXCEPT 2 OR 3 STUDENTS WHO DON'T ATTEND CLASSES.
