Remarks

Our college is good if we take the political effects out of equation.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

Our course's goal was to make us more knowledgeable about language and arts and I think our sirs along with the Curriculum did a great job, no our course was not research based though. We had an exam annually which secured our grades. And in college we had an test before the finals.

Class Size: 80Course Fees: INR 5000 per year

Placement Experience

No. Though my course was of literature and language so there's not question of placement, actually our college do not offer any such course to have to offer placement.

College Events

1.5

Not much, we generally have three programme in a year, the annual fest, freshers welcome, and annual sports, and we also celebrate Saraswati Puja. The fest is one of the biggest and best fest amongst our city, though I wouldn't say the same about others.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Our college do have a fees transparency but if someone have a bulky pocket they can have admission even without feeling the form. They take the college fees annually during admission and no, they don't charge a y extra, and cash is the only mode of payment.

Fees and Financial Aid

I didn't availed any scholarships or education loan in my college, but they do have an office for those who does.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus Life in our college is not much to-say enjoyable. Men are in much larger number than the girls though girls are never oppressed. Everyone here are Indians of course. Our college do organises some seminars and workshops on various subjects and they turns out to be successful.

Alumni/Alumna

I don't know of any alumni association exists for this college. Our college is actually ruled by political parties won on the basis of vote.

Admission

English was always my cup of tea, so for the course it was an easy choice, and the college being located with 5 minute distance of the railway station was too an easy choice. I filled up the form and waited for the merit list, soon it was out and we went for a counselling before admission.

Faculty

Our teaches used to take 1 class a day in first year. Though in later years they weren't much available, idk why. As for the classes taken they were really good and enriching, the classes taken were spanned amongst 45 minutes to 1 hour each. And in each class we had atleast one topic done.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.
