Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum was not too stretched out. It did not include what was not important for our course. Simple syllabus, simple exam structure. Exams, internal tests, projects assessed our performance.

Placement Experience

The placement cell of our college really helped build the future of many of us. Many big companies came at our campus and offered decent packages. Some of them were HCL TalentCare-Capgemini, Polaris & Unwind Labs, Eureka Forbes, etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structure was feasible. Very. The yearly fees was around ?3,000. Total fees for my postgraduation was around ?6,000. This included tuition fees, registration fees, initial refundable deposit and other charges.

Campus Life

Extracurricular activities kept us concentrated on studies and then we wouldn't be pressurized to only study all day. The college officials wanted us to equally enjoy our hobbies because without that, we wouldn't enjoy studying here.

Admission

I had been interested in History ever since we started studying it. I graduated in B.A. History, and wanted to continue in the same direction. The selection criterion here was merit-based. I had secured enough marks in final year to get selected.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty were truly supportive of us and our choices. They sometimes had us play little games in classroom when the syllabus would be over. They just wanted to see us succeed and they had good intentions in teaching us whole-heartedly.

more pratical training industry visit and real world case studies should be included in the mba curriculum to improve learning.

Likes

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.
