Dislikes

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have chosen the course because it was my passion to serve for democracy being the fourth pillar of it. There were 4 faculty members in total and 40 students. The faculty members came from different universities. Our HOD Dr Mausumi Bhattacharya has completed her Post Doctoral fellowship from ICSSR. The exams were held twice a year based on the semester system. They were quite moderate.

Admission:

The college holds its own entrance test. A merit list comes out of the students who qualify in the entrance exam on the college website. These students then have to go for the interview round which happens in the college campus. I got selected and gave the interview which went pretty good. Then I got a mail as the offer letter for admission into the college.
