Zaid's review


Students view on course curriculum

The curriculum that influenced my decision to those this is scientist. The curriculum did not prepared me for real world honestly. The areas for improvements in the course is the practical is only for name and the math teacher is so bad his teaching skills are poor and teaching methods is worst. The timing of exams is okk.and difficulty levet is above average.

Fees of the course per year and scholarship availability in the college

I paid 6000rs 1st year and I paid 7000rs second year. I didn't take tuition, no cautin fee, 100 rs registration fee, 500 admission fee. My batchmates fees is same everyone whether he is sc/st or obc. The amount of scholarship is 6000 to 7000rs per year.

Events, clubs and facilities available in the campus

The festival like Diwali and eid and 15 August the independence day and the republic day 26th january are celebrated very well. The accessibility of books and journals availablity are limited in the college library. The facilities that provides the college within the classrooms is ordinary but extraordinary is digital board. No sports and few curriculum activities offered on campus. No student-run social groups,clubs or student portals including their impact on student life.

Students view on faculties

The boys and girls ratio is 1:2 but the attendance ratio is 1:5. The faculty i liked the most is scholarship.the faculty i disliked is science practical they bring to students to lab 1 or 2 times in 6 months. the exams are easy who studied and different for who didn't studied.maths students are mostly fails.

Admission process and eligibility criteria

I did not apply to other college.i choose this college over the others because I wanna do bachelor of science and it gives you, the admission fee is low and also the fee is average and the faculty which provides this college is good and the teacher's behaviour in this college is excellent except 2 teachers.most of my friends choose this college over 2 other college. The admission process is very simple in this college. The eligibility is 12th pass out in any board. The most preferred by students is botany and geology.there are no cutoffs for these exams only passing marks.

Night Life

No gym, no cafeteria, no library in the night everything is closed 4 pm. No hostel provides my college. Famous hangout places inside the college is garden but there are so many people's my college is nearby manikpur and there are ganga ghat
