Course Curriculum Overview

The social work degree at post graduate level is spread out over a period of two years with the main focus being on the field work and gaining practical knowledge from experienced faculties. Due to this course structure, we learn a lot not only in terms of a practicing aspect, but also broadening our perspectives and learning something new every day.

Placement Experience

2.5

At an university providing us education through distance learning, the only way for us to get information about any jobs or internships is through the faculty teaching us. They are the sources of information for us about any opening or any vacancies nearby.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The best part about the college is the exclusively cheaper rate of education given to all the students equally. The fee structure for my degree turned out to be way more affordable than any other university around. My fee for the 2 years came to be somewhere around near Rs.10000, which is very feasible.

Campus Life

Since I had opted for distance learning, there is really nothing you can do to experience the college life and the social life on campus. We do get some notifications regarding any extra curricular event like a workshop or a seminar or an interactive meet in and around our vicinity so we can make the most out of the resources available.

Admission

The admission to the Social work degree at masters level requires the student to have previous background of Social work in bachelors level. The candidate should have been academically outstanding throughout the 3 years of undergraduate education and should have scored decent percentage.

Faculty

3.5

We are blessed to have an amazing set of faculty comprising of some intelligent and senior level personalities in our field. Due to their enormous experience level, we gain a lot of knowledge an insights from them which we can definitely implement in our practice.

A Good College Experience with Opportunities for Learning and Growth

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is fairly relevant and comprehensive, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. It provides a good foundation for technical knowledge, but including more industry-oriented projects, hands-on training, and updated technologies would make it even better for future career opportunities.

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.
