Banasthali Vidyapith College Review

There is theoritical as well as practical learning. So, we get a hands-on experience of the learning. We get deadlines for each project which helps us prepare for industry level tasks. Our Design Department organises a workshop every year in the month of December which has a list of various events and helps students learn something different from their daily course.

Six months on-site internship under the name Industrial Training is scheduled for the last semester of the college. Roles and companies are offered based on the course a particular student is studying. Also a student has to return to the campus to appear for final exams after the internship in the month of April-May.

Students are eligible for college placements in the final year. Industrial training of 6 months is also given. Companies like Zee Media, Raymonds, The Yellow Tree, Aditya Birla Group make an offer and visit the design department.

I have paid the tuition fees this year as 139000, other fees as 4000, development fees as 41000 and hostel charges(mess, electricity and water, room rent and campus fee) as 45000. Hence the total fees is 229400 which is split into 1st and 2nd installment (semester-wise).

Campus life is good and engaging. A student of Banasthali Vidyapith can never get bored or feel lost. There are so many things to do. There are five fold (extra-curricular) activities like singing, dancing, sports, aviation and many more. Every festival is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm. There are a list of activities a student can take part in every semester. After college hours, these activities are there for a student to change and relax their mind.

Room has a bed, a study table with study light, a charging socket. Rooms are available as 2-seater, 3-seater and 4-seater with light and fans accordingly. There are no AC or cooler rooms. Mess food quality is not good and only vegetarian food is served and available within the campus. Tuesdays are weekly holiday and we get a slightly better food on Tuesdays.

I had appeared for NID entrance exam. It is every designers dream college, for sure. I could not clear the entrance exam and was left behind by just 15 marks. I was selected for MIT-ADT Ujjain, but the fees over there is too high and I could not afford that. However, I was selected at Banasthali Vidyapith which offers good quality course at a comparatively cheap amount than other design colleges in India.

The faculty-to-student ratio depends on the department of study. there are various departments. The faculty, almost all, is friendly and approachable. There are 2 periodical tests of 10-10 marks each and a final semester exam per semester. The exam pattern is strict and it is necessary to start studying from the very beginning to cope with the class standards.

It was based on merit for my course. However, there was counselling session and an interview upon selection as a part of admission process. Interview included general questions like name, interests, hobbies etc. I honestly did not prepare for this and did not even had the idea that I would have to appear for the same but I came out with flying colours!

Every department has its own library and there is a Central Library which comprises books from all fields alongwith previous year question papers to help a student prepare well for examinations. There is a Gym with multiple equipments which opens between 6 - 8 am in the morning and 5-8 pm in the evening. There are cafeterias which offer good quality vegetarian food. Hostel gate shuts at 8:30 pm in the evening.
