Survival Kit for Spians

My personal reason for choosing geography was due to my background of competitive exams. Most of the topics covered overall in 3 years covers major portion for competitive exams. That is the main reason why I chose this course. In terms of real world applications the topics taught in the class and the practicals we perform are very important in terms of calculating land for various purposes also certain equipments help us determine weather conditions and the changes that occur as well the reasons for those changes. As of for now I don't feel like there's one specific area or areas where change is needed the curriculum is set properly according to the needs of the respective job opportunities.

The course I've opted for that is geography,provides with on job training in third year of my graduation. Atleast for the first six months the internship is without the stipend on basis of respective individual's performance they'll be taken on the job as a paid intern.

I belong to OBC so because of that my fee structure for the course I'm doing i.e. BSc Geography is around 5000 rupees but for a student from general category would have to pay around 7000 rupees. Talking of scholarship college provides scholarship for girls whose parent's early income is less than 8 lakhs this includes free of cost education. Students from SC/ST too have certain benefits like less hostel fee and a certain amount off on the academic fees as well. Tuition fee, registration fee everything is included in the 5000 rupees slot and 7000 rupees slot and for SC/ST students it is around 2000 rupees

College provides with educational or departmental fests which has a different theme every year and based on the theme decorations are done. Also according to the theme different competitions are help giving an opportunity for students to showcase their talents. Apart from the educational fest the department also offers many guest lectures that help us to enhance our knowledge about our respective courses. They also carry out different workshops about various topics related to our curriculum. The cultural fest takes place once a year after all the departmental fests of all subjects are over. The cultural fest includes singing, dancing, Mr. & Mrs. SP along with a ramp walk etc. All the classrooms have projectos and WELL built laboratories. The sports department also emcourges talent and takes measures to make the students best at whatever sports they play through everyday practices. The college also provides with NCC units including the Army Unit and Navy Unit. The college also provides with a NSS programme helping students to carry out social work and help them grow as an individual

One room is provided for two students the room is big enough to accommodate two people. The architecture of the hostels is inspired by the Wada system famous in Pune . Every room has a balcony with quite a stunning view of the college campus. The rector of girl's hostel is quite strict which is for their own good. The curfew for girls is 7'o clock while that for the boys is 9'o clock. Meal quality is quite average it's edible to say the least. The PGs near college are as expensive as the hostel annual fees but with hostel you just get more sense of security and less freedom.But if you're willing to compromise a little on security you'll get all the freedom you want

I applied To Fergusson College and I also got in but the only reason I didn't opt for Fergusson College was as they didn't provide B.Sc. in geography instead they provided Geology.And the other option waa B.A. in geography which again was not my choice as I completed high school with a science background. The eligibility criteria for getting into Sir Parahurambhau college was totally based on the cutoff of 12th percentage.

Teaching staff overall of my department is quite good. Their teaching techniques are quite interesting it actually makes you pay attention in class. Since my degree is more depending on the outdoor practicals we are being taught all about how to handle the equipments in a very polite way. The teachers actually trust us with the equipments and giving us a sense of responsibility. It's hard to pick favourites since all of them are great at what they do. There are 4 exams in a year 1 internal exam and external exam for each semester same pattern of internal and external exam goes for practicals as well. The difficulty levels are not that high if you actually attend the lectures and pay attention. Mostly the students who skip college on regular basis fail most of the times

The night life of around college is quite fascinating as the college closes around 4'o clock. There are quite a few hangout spots around college like S.P. katta on a little distance there is F.C road with number of things to do. Consisting of book cafes, Irani cafe, goodluck cafe with good food and a nice cup of tea to wash away the tired day. The college itself provides with a gym that is included in the fee structure but only students who live nearby can take its advantage.Pune is almost awake till 2 in the morning and is very safe for both girls and boys with Police patroling at every square.
