A sneak peak into GCM(Government college, Malappuram)

The course curriculum included everything that a commerce student would want. The main reason i choosed this course was because i wanted to pursue a career in the accounting or management field. The course have financial, managerial and cost accounting, income tax, gst and corporate law, banking and finance, economics and quantitative technique which is needed in my higher studies and even if i choose a career in the corporate Of course there are areas that need to be improved. The course could have had any kind of computer languages to study and also atleast a two months internship which would have helped us in practising what we had studied so far. As the exams are conducted by calicut university the timing of exams were a bit problematic. For instance one time our second semester exams was conducted about three weeks after our first semester exams so it is hard to keep up with.

In the starting of first semester i paid 5000 which included caution deposit, lab fees, library fees, pta fund. For sc, st and ph students it was lower than that. As it was a government college and i got in with 98% there was no other fees included for the whole course. But there was a fees of 800 for each semester exam. There was six semester for that 3 year course. Also there was e- grantz scholarship for students and I was eligible for that so as exam fees i just had to pay 200 rupees for each semester . At the end of the course they refunded the caution deposit of 500 back.

In our college there will be many programs such as union fest probably after election which will august or September, kerala piravi on November 1st , onam celebration on September, Christmas celebration in December, food fest and sports on January, arts on my February, magazine launch on February and each department will have association day on August or September. Each class equipped with projectors, benches, desk, white board, a podium etc Apart from that there are NSS, NCC , walk with scholars club, social club, literary club, environment club, english club and editorial clubs. All of the club helped the students in many ways, to become confident, creative and insightful. I was a part of walk with scholars club. They provided me with free academic books, special classes on many subjects. We helped students who are backward in studies with buddy teachers where we tutored the students. Helped them prepare notes etc.

I applied to about 10 colleges my first priority was Victoria college, palakad. And this was my second option. Victoria college priorities arts and sports certificates which i didn't have. But government college, malappuram was looking for students with score above 90% and i had 98%in my higher secondary so i got into government college, malappuram. After getting your final allotment you just have to present before a committee and take admission after verifying your documents and other necessary things. You can apply for E-grantz from there itself and you just have to pay the fees. The eligibility criteria was anyone who completed higher secondary with 90% and above. Commerce students will have more preference

There were 10 teachers in the department of commerce including our HOD. They were very much approchable, highly insightful and friendly. They were very supportive with both academical and curriculum activities. My favorite faculty was Sunitha mam. She was the best and our class mentor. There were other faculties such as Jafar sir and Jaya prakash sir who were the best at teaching and were friendly both inside and outside the class. There were no such faculties that i disliked but one particular teacher was there she had immense knowledge but her teaching style was not according to my liking. As there is six semester and 6 or 7 subject each semester the exams were pretty much difficult. Calicut university exams tend to be a bit difficult but i am sure if you put enough time into it then its a cake walk. The course curriculum included everything that needed in a three year graduation course like accounting, economics, second language, english, management, tax, corporate law, statistics and banking.
