Great Haven to Break From Your Shell

I chose sociology as my major as it is concerned with the society and moves to take down stereotypes, social issues, etc., something which i personally resonate with a lot. The curriculum prepares us for the real world in terms of living within the society. However, the discipline of sociology still does not offer secure jobs in the future. I suppose the curriculum could be improved through teachings using more examples which are unrelated to the topic but show a parallel side that can explain the concept. Due to NAAC, many of our assignments and tests were pushed all together in the previous semester. I hope thst is not the case with the current and the future semesters because it was very hectic and hard for us to complete the assignments but also study for the tests

Internship opportunities are constantly given to us. However, most of them are offline and seem to be too time consuming, given that we are still students. It get tiring and exhausting. The pay is also not guaranteed.

For admission, we have had to pay Rs. 10,386. Then, the extramural charges and alumnae fees were for Rs. 1650. I did not recieve any reserved seats since those were available only to the Christian candidates. There are scholarship and financial aid available which I do not know the details of very well.

Campus life is great. There are two cats in the campus. Our college festival is extremely fun and engaging. A sense of belonging and girlhood is formed during the festival season. The campus is also decorated very well and it all becomes very worth it. Classrooms are also well kept despite the building being old. There are moldy parts in the walls and ceilings but they are looking tk fix those issues. The environment is pretty green and clean. People don't litter around. There are various clubs and each of them always has some sort of event going on. These events, activities and festival really help the students open up from their shell.

In Mumbai, Sophia at least has a bit of greenery and space. It has a central lawn and a nice environment. I chose this college for the name it holds and its alumni. I was also happy with the course i was granted here. I did apply to two other colleges but did not get the subjects i wanted. To get admission in Sophia, you have to register in the Mumbai University site first and then in the Sophia College For Women official site. After that, all notices will be sent to the registered email. The merit list will also be mailed. There are 3 merit lists, and they come out with gaps of around 1 to 2 weeks. The first list usually consists of previous alumni of the college who have done their JC there, those who have scored well in their 12th boards and the ones under Christian reservations. The second list consists of the ones coming after the ones who scored well for their 12th boards in sequence, and those looking to avail hostel seatings in the college. The remaining are in the third list. After this, an amount will be needed to be paid as adimission fees to secure your admission to the college.

The faculty to student relationship is really wholesome. There is an economics professor however who is not very understanding and unreasonably strict. The faculty overall is helpful. The administrative staff has two members in particular who have anger issues and are very impatient with their work. They are very rude towards both the students and the parents. I personally like the sociology department faculty as they are understanding and giveb their subject, they can really empathize with the students and help them build confidence with no judgement. The exam patterns follows the NEP pattern. There are internal assesements as well as assignments that take place, each of 25 marks, and the final sem text is of 50 marks. So in total, it sums up to 100 marks. Students havw dailrd to clear the psychology tests as the way the answer is to be written is a completely new concept for us. We were never taught this back in school nor are we being taught this right now in college.

I do not live in the hostel so i do not really have knowledge on this. The canteen shuts down around midnight as far as i can recall but that may be because it was festival season then and many workforce members were staying back late.
