Remarks
Regressive mentally needs to change because there is so so much scope based on the academics alone.
Course Curriculum Overview
The syllabus is excellent and extremely relevant, barring sociology in third year which was stupid. The teachers and teaching needs to improve and the regressive attitudes of the whole administration. There were industrial visits, and they were helpful. A career counsellor also exists on campus that helps with placements. I did not use the service because I was prepping for post grad.
Placement Experience
Internships are student. College doesn’t really care. For placements, they have a counsellor and he does a good job. The college also took up initiative to prepare interested students for following all india pg entrance exams.
College Events
Lots of them. From cultural fests to MUNs. Everything. It is one of the biggest in the state. There is a fashion show every year and a concert or a stand up every year. SoA annual MUN is one of the most prominent conferences in the state. There is a technology fest for the engineering campus and there is a swachchh bharat drive every quarter
Fee Structure And Facilities
It is around 4 lakhs for 4 years, which is cheap compared to other institutions in the city. There is a transparent break down and hostel fees is an additional 100000 or so depending on the type of room, number of people sharing it, etc. The system is flexible and they take delays in payments into consideration.
Fees and Financial Aid
No, none was offered. There is no criteria, they do not provide any scholarship. They do assist you with necessary documentation should you require a loan from a bank.
Campus Life
Gender ratios were 4:6 with the former being men and latter being women. There was a lot of cultural activities but talking about race, religion and especially sexual orientation, it is extremely regressive with certain faculty also participating in the facilitation of bullying. I hope that has changed by now. Extracurriculars exist- sports, radio, MUN, dancing. the whole lot
Hostel Facilities
I haven’t opted for hostels. PGs are cheaper, nearly 3-4 thousand a month and there are many around the campus. Hostel is 1L (nearly) and has a single store underneath it. I hear the food is decent but has a lot of scope for improvement
Alumni/Alumna
We had only one batch ahead of us and all of them were filled with unhelpful bullies so nothing there. Most went on to post graduation.
Admission
I wanted to study Genetics. But I could not find any suitable college to study this as an independent course. So I had to take up agriculture so I could major in agricultural genetics in post graduation. In April 2014, I took the entrance exam. My rank was 11. I was called in for counseling. Within the next week, I was enrolled and I started classes soon after. 2nd of May, as far as I remember.
Faculty
Average age is around 65-70. The junior lecturers are around 35. Lab assistants were in their early twenties. All theoretically held a lot of industry experience and certifications but that does not make a good teacher. Barring a handful, everybody needs rigorous teacher training.
