Fact about my college

Actually, when I was in 9th grade, I developed a strong interest in chemistry. I studied it thoroughly from 9th to 12th grade, and I decided to pursue my graduation in chemistry. I had some excellent teachers who made learning chemistry enjoyable, which further fueled my interest in the subject. After completing my graduation, I plan to continue with a master’s degree in chemistry. I just hope everything I’ve planned works out.

So this is the information about my college: "In my college, the annual fees are applicable, and when you take admission in the first year, you have to pay the admission fee as well as get registered at the same time. The admission fee for the first year is Rs 2700, and the registration card will cost approximately Rs 1500. Then, after that, you will need to fill out the exam form, which will cost around Rs 1500, and the rest are expenses for books and notebooks. Similarly, in the second and third years, the admission fee is around Rs 2600, and the exam fee is Rs 1500. Apart from this, there are also charges for the project you do, which are quite minimal. As far as the fees are concerned, I belong to the General category, so these are my fees. Some of my friends belong to different categories, like OBC and SC/ST, and their fees differ slightly from mine, with their overall fees being a bit lower than mine. Besides this, there are no other types of fees, like tuition fees, development fees, etc.

Overall, I feel that I haven’t been able to experience much of college life. I had hoped that college would offer a lot of new learning experiences and a more social environment, but that hasn’t been the case. The quality of education is poor, so there’s little room for social activities or festivals. Classes are very infrequent, and there’s so much uncertainty around exams that it’s hard to know when they will happen. There haven’t been any functions or events organized; it’s mostly just admissions, a few classes, and then filling out exam forms. That’s pretty much been my entire college life experience.

I completed 12th grade in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. After 12th grade, I decided to pursue the same course at Patliputra University, which was considered one of the best universities in Bihar at that time. All the colleges affiliated with this university were reputed, and they had regular classes along with lab facilities. However, due to COVID and lockdowns, I couldn’t go there. To avoid dropping a year, I had to enroll in the university quickly. I didn’t realize at that time that this university was running late and extending a 3-year course to 5 years.

The faculty ratio in my college is good, with approximately three teachers in each department. For example, in the Chemistry department, there are three chemistry teachers. I find all three of them good, but the one everyone praises is Ashok Sir. He is very humble and teaches exceptionally well. If you don't understand something on the first try, he will explain it thoroughly and repeatedly until you do. However, I have some issues with a few other teachers. They come to college, but when you approach them with questions related to studies, they tend to give irrelevant answers, which is quite frustrating. Despite the challenges, exams at our university are conducted rigorously, and the question levels are quite high. As a result, many students fail.
