The Master of Science (M.Sc) in Applied Geology at the Central University of Karnataka (CUK) offers a comprehensive program with a blend of theoretical and practical knowledge. Admission requires passing the Central University Common Eligibility Test (CUET), generally needing a score above 150, with at least 55% of the entrance exam marks. The process is mainly online, although fee payment may need to be done in person. The program spans two years with academic fees totaling 41,200 INR, divided into 21,100 INR for the first year and 20,100 INR for the second.

Additional charges cover tuition, exam, library, and other facilities, amounting to various specific fees. Hostel fees are set at 18,474 INR per semester, with waivers for SC/ST students. Scholarships are primarily available for SC/ST and EWS categories, but there is no general or merit-based financial aid, nor placement support. The department boasts a favorable faculty-to-student ratio of 1:5, with 6 faculty members for 31 students, although teaching enthusiasm varies. The curriculum includes a semester-based exam system with both internal and external assessments.

While some faculty members excel in interaction and unique teaching methods, others are critiqued for lack of punctuality and interest. Placement opportunities are limited, with a notable summer internship at Central Mine Planning and Design Institute under Coal India, offering practical experience without a stipend. Despite some challenges in faculty engagement and placement support, the program attracts a diverse student body and offers valuable educational experiences.

Realities of my Campus life

Almost all the facilities like bank,post office,shops,canteens and hotels etc are available inside the university itself.Also the library of our university is also good.The syllubus of our course is more of competitive exams oriented.

Generally, there is a hike in fee structure when compared to the last years. Academic fees can be tolerated but the increase in mess fees and hostel fees are unaffordable for the students. For the 2 years (MSc), the Academic fee is 41,200 rs ie 21100 for 1st year and 20100 for 2nd year. Scholarships are provided by the university, both central and state scholarships. Natives and SC/ST or EWS caste avail more benefits from scholarships. Some of the scholarships such as Egrantz provide around 13000 per annum for the applicants.

Navigating the Educational Landscape at Central University of Karnataka

The tuition fee varies with each category. Not much hike in the fee was experienced. The education fee is quite low compared to other universities as this is a central university. About 35000 is for one year along with the lab fee. There are a lot of scholarships available ews for the general category, obc postpartum scholarships, SC St scholarships along with that single girl child, and top two rank holders also get scholarships under the central government. The campus provides placement opportunities for various departments.

"BEYOND THE BROCHURE; REALAM CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF KARNATAKA"

THERE IS NO REGULARITY FOR THE INCREASE IN THE TUTION FEES. THE INSTITUTION PROVIDED (IN 2019) A SCHOLARSHIP FOR ECONOMICALLY WEAKER GIRL STUDENT AS YEARS MOVED UP THE AVAILED SCHOLARSHIP WAS NOT BENEFICIAL. NOTHING TO BE IN THE CASE OF PLACEMENTS AND STIPENDS.
