Remarks

According to me it's an amazing university of distance learning they provide us with good quality education and course material which set a great foundation of subjects be it the subject of specialization we are doing or any other.

Course Curriculum Overview

As being a course of distance, The course materials are supplied to the students well in advance and the course structure consists of all the must subjects. It's also well researched and the exams are yearly.

Placement Experience

3.5

However as being a university of distance we have to look up to our ownselves after completing the graduation course however it's a reputed university so the provided degree has a lot of value of the university.

Fee Structure And Facilities

I am persuing ba in English and according to me the fee structure is really feasible the three years of degree courses is just for Rs. 6,845 which is affordable for every student whoever want to complete there graduation in English.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes the university do provide its students with scholarships on the basis of merit and also scholarships by government are also available and the students may also be provided with loans if required to complete their graduation.

Campus Life

As being a university of distance I dont really have the exact knowledge about the extracurricular activities or sports. But it's for sure that here in this university there is discrimination related to any gender or religion. Anyone can be a part of this university.

Admission

I am persuing my BA in English in correspondence from this university Periyar University, Periyar Institute of Distance Education and for the purpose of admission we have to be qualified in our intermediate education from its relevant subject. We have to fill the admission application which can be downloaded from the official website of PRIDE. Candidates can also obtain the application form from the campus and various study centers. The cost of the application form is INR 300

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.
