Course Curriculum Overview

The course was 1 year long in duration. We had 6 papers that were taught throughout the year. At the end of the course, we had an exam of all the 6 papers. It was out of 100 marks and if we got 40 marks we would pass. The course taught us everything from media law to reporting to public relations. In the end, we also had a project and a viva voce.

Placement Experience

Our college had a good placement cell, although we didn't have many companies employing diploma graduates. We had mock interviews and CV improvement tips/classes as well as a lot of resources by the college for employment.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The course fees were quite convenient, plus they let me do a distance education so i knew how to pay it. It cost about 4,620 rupees per year and my course was a year long course. The college does take additional fees for examination but that was from the range of 100-200 rupees.

Campus Life

Our college had a lot of programs that celebrated many holidays like Onam. We also had clubs where students could come and bring in ideas and arrange programs. Many departments had their own programs they would plan and execute by themselves.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel was a home away from home with good spacious rooms that were clean and ready for us to move in. We have to book hostels before hand to get accomodation, but if you don't manage to book it there are private hostels or pg's available.

Admission

I did this course while i was working, I applied to the course using my 12th marks and got admission. I found the course very informative and entertaining. Plus it was a distance education programme that allowed me to work while studying.

Faculty

4.5

Our department teachers are very trained and have worked as journalists for quite some time. They were accomodating to our time and availability and helped us with any doubts we might have had over the course of one year.

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.

Madras School of Economics - A Comprehensive Review for Bachelor's

Likes

The gender ratio is fairly close to 1:1 and it provides a proper environment for all to collaborate and interact.
Most of the faculty members are reachable.
Students usually get free by 4PM and have the remainder of the day to explore their own things.

Dislikes

More academics oriented - no room for placements on campus as such.
Unable to choose electives - have to do whatever course is available.
Infrastructurally very basic - lacks a lot of facilities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Has a lot of new age courses like MS Excel, Python and Data Science. It prepares you fairly well for roles like Data Analyst, Financial Modelling, etc. Areas for improvement include optimising the curriculum load as per the students. Two internals (one after a month after sem starts, second a few weeks before the end sem) and the end sem. I feel the end sem is relatively easier due to the preparation we endure for the internals.
