Ethiraj College for Women Chennai, BA, English and Communication

Reviewed on Mar 22, 2020(Enrolled 2017)

Remarks

The positive thing is that there's a lot of room and freedom to explore what you like and what you enjoy doing. Not having a dresscode also helps the students feel comfortable. The negatives would be the actual teaching and sanitation issues in the College.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

In theory, the curriculam is good. However, it is a little outdated. We have a split up for 100 marks. 20 marks for two assignments ( 10 each) 20 marks for two internals ( which are originally for 50 marks) and 60 marks for semester( originally for 60 marks).

Placement Experience

3.5

The companies that come in are usually not that great. Even if the company is reputed, the packages are bad. There are no internships for the particular course that I'm doing. If one wants to do an internship then they'll have to apply on their own. The salary for placements are usually low and people usually don't get placed in their own city.

College Events

Culturals are a big part of Ethiraj life. In fact that is part of the main appeal for a lot of stufents. There are events happening almost everyday from department culturals, club events, conferences, workshops, etc. There's always something happening culturally at the College.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structures and feasible. The course I'm doing asks for 19,500 per semester excluding exam fees and such. The aided or morning College fees would be even cheaper making the College one of the most accessible ones.

Fees and Financial Aid

The College offers sports scholarships. People who are into extra curriculars get their own quota and are able to avail extra facilities. The College also offers support based on the annual financial income of the student.

Campus Life

4.5

Extracurriculars are the highlight of this College. There's a club for anybody who's into anything. There are sports teams, NCC cadets, Arts club, Fine Arts club, Theatre clubs for both English and Tamil, Dance teams for both classical and western, Music teams to name a few.

Alumni/Alumna

All the interaction I've had with my seniors have been positive. They're usually very empathetic and help freshers in any way they can. Personally, I've never seen or experienced ragging in my College. People are usually happy to help one another and guide them.

Admission

I was planning on doing Psychology and couldn't get in. I applied to this course the day before applications closed. This course only asked for my English marks and I was able to get in as I scored a lot in English. It was purely merit based and there were no interviews.

Faculty

Some of them are interested and teach well. However, most of them don't teach well or don't teach at all making it very frustrating to sit in class. Technically, they are qualified with degrees but that does not equate to how well they teach.

My sweet college days!!

Likes

College environment was very neat and clean always.
The birds they kept at the front side campus were so pleasant and calm
Campus was large in size and comfortable

Dislikes

College management is very strict in handling students
College management allot less money as prize money for academic winners
Students should get pass even for 2 minutes late entry

Course Curriculum Overview:

The department of English not only offers good education but also so many values to lead our life. Faculties were so friendly in clearing students' doubts. There was personality development course to improve students' personality. Students had to choose any other subjects other than they are studying for sbi course. Due to this students learn about other subjects too.

BA Economics hons MSE review

Likes

The rigour of the course is very intense. The syllabus which is followed here is intense and rigorous. Its unique compared to the syllabus offered in other colleges of India.
Staff lore is very good in MSE. Most of the staffs encourage doubts and are also willing to have conversations with you. Faculties are knowledgeable and they know there stuff very well. They take much interests if you reach out to them through mail.
They provide a lot of guest lectures which gives us a lot of exposure and we get to know how economics works in the real life policy making sectors.

Dislikes

Theres no opportunities for sports and extra curricular activities. They don’t conduct any events rather it is done by putting our own money and by the efforts of the students only.
The campus is very small, and there are no proper areas for sports etc and also the canteen is very bad. It is super minimal.
If you want social life then this college is not the place, only the studious one survive here. Well you can still make friends here but then the college ‘itself’ does not provide any social life

Course Curriculum Overview:

Well the course provides almost everything which is needed and available. This is not a normal economics course as it involves statistics,python, core math and also dives into data science. This allows the students to explore various subjects and can choose which is their best fileld. The curriculum overall is very rigorous and intense but you can crack it if you study regularly. About the frequencies of the examinations, we have 2 internal examinations and 1 end semester examination. I can guarantee that this course is super rigorous but im not sure if i would necessarily say that the course is "practical" and it helps us in the real word. I cannot comment on the practicality of the courses. The exams are not super difficult and its moderate. Getting more than 90% can be challenging although clearing the paper won't be an impossible task.

Ethiraj college for women review

I chose this college because i didnt have a choice. I wanted to do psychology but didnt get selected by other colleges I applied to because of religion and other factors. The admission process here is simple. You just apply for admission and wait for them to release lists. If you get selected, you will see your name in the list and receive an email. They also send text messages if you get selected sometimes....Read More
