Course Curriculum Overview

My course had the essential subjects that were necessary to be studied. The Institute has focused on marking soft skills as one of the subjects in each semester. The syllabus has not changed for some time on the website.

Placement Experience

3.5

The college has made arrangements for having the recruitment process and has shared the data on their official website however, there have not been any arrangements for internships. Due to this reason, the professors believe in preparing the students for their final year rather than for a monthly internship.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The college aims at providing education to the financially weaker section of society therefore, my fees was barely Rs. 200/- per year and eventually, the fees further decreases to make sure that students don't drop out as there is a commitment of time that they are given in the college.

Campus Life

Limited extra curricular activitiea take place in college. There is NSS, NCC, Yoga Program and Youth Red Cross. Amongst all of them, I prefer NSS which is the involvement in various social activities. I know that the certificate achieve would be a big achievement in the future.

Alumni/Alumna

There have been good number of students that have found places in prominent companies and firms but so far, there has been no news of somebody making it big in the outside world who studied from my college.

Admission

A counseling session is conducted in accordance to a particular course and a subject. I went for BA Economics. The dates of counselling must be noted and the following documents must be in place. The college takes a look at the marks obtained in class 12th by the student and his conduct during the counseling to make their final decision.

Faculty

3.5

The college provides qualified professors who have their degree of qualifications in place. The demand for my course has always been increasing therefore, the college has a good number of professors to teach the students.

The campus is very beautiful with trees all around the place
The teachers are very good at the specific subjects and are ready to help you any time you need
Extra activities are also impeccable here And it includes a wide range of clubs as well as sports and fine art activities

Dislikes

The college timing is quite hectic from 8 AM in the morning to 5 PM in the evening
Since it is a private institution, patient interaction is not as good as you would get in a government institution

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was very passionate about entering the medical field quite early in my life, so I knew what I had to do when I was in school. Medical field is a very challenging area to choose and the work life balance is not as good as other professions. However, it is very engaging and interesting for people who are actually interested in the subject. However, one cannot practice medicine after finishing MBBS because of the increasing competition, so he has to do PG course in order to be more approachable for the patients as well as to serve better in the specific field. The course curriculum is start in a well planned manner and the portions are completed ahead of time so that students have around 1 to 1.5 months of study break before the university exams every year. So, along with the exams that take place throughout the year, students will also have ample time to prepare for their exams in their own way preferred.

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.

Remarks:

There's no proper infrastructure and there's a long walk on elevated road for day scholars which is very tough. The college does not allow vehicles. The only positive thing about the college is the alumini network.
