The department offers a personalized learning experience with a faculty-to-student ratio of 7:34. Notable faculty members such as Dr. Rahul Mukherjee and Prof. Saurabh Gupta enhance the learning experience, although some, like Prof. Bandana Samadh, receive less favorable reviews. The academic structure includes two main exams and three surprise tests per subject, with a challenging syllabus that sometimes remains incomplete. Faculty are generally approachable, and the Head of Department is supportive, particularly with administrative issues.

The grading system raises concerns due to its impact on overall marks. The Central University of Punjab has distinct fee structures for science and arts students. Science students pay a course fee of 15,350 INR and a hostel fee of 8,400 INR, with the first semester costing 16,350 INR due to a refundable deposit. Subsequent semesters are 6,250 INR. Additional fees apply for exam registration. Scholarships, including NSP, ONGC, and E Grants, are available, but fee relaxations are limited to SC and ST students, not OBC students.

Annually, tuition fees total around 26,500 INR, with hostel fees reaching approximately 24,200 INR. Despite scholarships, some students encounter financial difficulties, but part-time jobs on campus offer support.

Wonderful land with positives and negatives

For semester, I paid 17,000 above first and after coming to hostel, I paid 15500 and for mess fee first 3000 had paid. Every month again, mess fee comes as 3000. With that, I paid 7500 for the field trip for our geology. I have around 5000 expenses after coming here just for buying winter clothes and all as it is cold here in Punjab december other than that 5000 had gone for all the other needs. As I am in general category, I don't get any benefits. Both my parents have no job even though they take loan to give education to us. Only because of the category, I have suffered a lot. The first hostel admission, I don't get seat and everywhere I have ran for the seat. Finally, after overcoming obstacles only I got the seat. Next semester, I have to pay again around 10000 and also hostel fee comes as around 9000. Also for my travel to Kerala as it is my native place, also should cost 2500 and above

Truth about university

Dislikes

Academic stress is there. We have to do a lot of work in a single day

On first semestet I paid 17500 and on next semester I have to pay 9000 rupees. Therefore a year I have to pay 26500 rupees as my tution fee. Apart from tution fee, I also have to pay my hostel fee for each semester. On first semestet i have paid 15600 rps and on next semester I have to pay 8600.So total hostel fee for yhis academic year is 24200.I am an obc student but university doesn't provide any relaxation for obc students regarding fees. Only sc and st students is having relaxation for their fees. Currently I am not receiving any scholarship amount. I have given for a scholarship, but iam not sure that will I get it or not. My financial status is very bad. As my father os the only earning member of my family. He is an autodriver. And he is about 53 age now. I am on financial crisis. I also want a laptop for my studies. But I can't afford it.

Msc Geology in CUPB :An Overview

The fees is same for all the science courses provided here. The fees is 16350 for the first sem that includes a quotient deposit of 5000 rupees. And 6250 for the subsequent semesters.The fee structure is decided by the government body, so the hike is decided by them as well.The above mentioned fees include the practical fees as well. But different payment is required for registration of practical and theory exam. No other fees and compulsory charges are included . A number of wide varieties of scholarship are provided by the university which includes NSP, ONGC Scholarship scheme E grants and other scholarship provided by various state and central government body. I have applied for various scholarships and is in the processing stage.
