Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is quite easy and student-friendly. It only had the subjects that were absolutely important for us. It focused on our holistic development. We had final exams twice a year, and in-between tests and projects.

Placement Experience

Campus placement was the ultimate event/function of the college and every year, big companies came down there like Global Innov, Eureka Forbes, India Infoline, etc. The average yearly package was ?2 lacs.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structure was absolutely feasible for almost all of us. Yearly fees for 1st and 2nd years was around ?1,400 each, and for 3rd years, it was around ?4,000. The total fees came to around ?7,000 which is a pretty good deal.

Campus Life

Different sport matches were held all round the year, and other events as well, like debates and quizzes. Team matches were the best because we got to know each other better and spend time together, apart from studies.

Admission

Admission here is on merit basis. I was studying arts in 12th, and while exploring colleges, came across this. I liked it at once, then applied for B.A. here. We came down to the college for all completing formalities, after that I was admitted.

Faculty

4.5

I felt and noticed that the faculty members were really helpful to us. The teachers took it upon themselves to make us succeed in life. They always had our back anf supported us for the right things we stood for.

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.
