Mar Ivanios College Yoga FAQs
Q1. Is the Certificate Course in Yoga compulsory for all students at Mar Ivanios College?
A1. No, it is not compulsory specifically. However, all UG students at Mar Ivanios College are required to complete at least three add-on/certificate courses during their degree programme. The Certificate Course in Yoga is one of the many options available, and students can choose it as one of their three mandatory add-on courses.
Q2. Can students from any stream (Arts, Science, Commerce) join the Certificate Course in Yoga?
A2. Yes, the course is open to all UG students of Mar Ivanios College irrespective of their stream. It is designed for Semester 1 and 2 students, so first-year students from all departments can enroll.
Q3. Is there any physical fitness requirement or prior yoga experience needed to join this course?
A3. No prior yoga experience or specific physical fitness level is required. The course is designed for overall student development and is suitable for beginners. It is conducted in collaboration with Bethany Navajeevan Yoga Centre, which provides structured beginner-friendly instruction.
Q4. How are classes scheduled? Will it clash with regular degree programme classes?
A4. The add-on courses at Mar Ivanios College are typically scheduled to complement the regular academic timetable. Classes are held on campus and are coordinated so as not to conflict with core degree programme lectures. However, students should confirm the exact schedule with the MICSDIL coordinator (Ph: 9496369311) at the time of registration.
Q5. What certificate will I receive after completing the course, and will it have any value for future studies or employment?
A5. Upon successful completion of the 30-hour course, students receive a certificate from Mar Ivanios College (Autonomous). While this is a college-level certificate and not a nationally recognized yoga certification (such as those from QCI or Yoga Certification Board of India), it adds value to your academic profile, demonstrates holistic development, and can be mentioned in resumes and applications for higher studies.
Q6. If I miss the add-on course registration during UG admission, can I join the Yoga course later in the year?
A6. Add-on course registrations are primarily done at the time of the UG admission interview. However, students who miss the initial registration may contact the MICSDIL office (Ph: 9496369311) to check if seats are still available. Given the limited intake of 30 seats, early registration is strongly recommended.
