Gautham V's Review On AGL Degree And PG College, Visakhapatnam

I did not take any specific entrance test for getting admission into this college. I have passed 12th std ISC syllabus with 80% score. B.com is a very good course especially for a Chartered Accountant student. It can be done parallel along with CA course. This mitigates the risk of not passing CA. Even if we get blocked in any stage of CA course, we can get a B.com degree.

The course structure was very good and it gave us scope for exploring various commerce related activities, understanding the economy and also a good support for my CA course. I did several projects and record works which were forwarded to the Andhra University and which were evaluated by external invigilators in the university. By doing this I could get a good grip on making project reports etc and it is now helping in my daily life.

I do not have much idea regarding internship at my college, as far as I know there is no such concept of internship in my college. None of my friends have done it at my college. I do not have any idea regarding the stipend also.

Placement and job opportunities are not that great with B.com course alone. We need to do some professional courses such as Chartered Accountancy, Companies Secretary, Cost accountant etc for surviving in this competitive market with good pay. There is no campus placements in our college. With B.com alone we can get salary of around Rs. 25,000 in metros and upto 20000 in non metros.

We used to have annual day every year and celebrations such as Christmas, Pongal, Independence day etc. The most awaited even is the freshers day when we just have a blast and several cultural events here. Similarly when it comes to the farewell day when our seniors used to leave and when we ourselves left, it was really emotional.

Fee structure was very affordable and the management shall give concessions based on your financial conditions. It ranges from 5,000 to 8,000 per annum and other exam registration fee which shall be remitted to AU shall be born by us in extra which is revised from time to time by the University.

If we get 1st rank in the college or any of the top 3 ranks in the college in a semester/year, they provide free education for next year or concessional education based on the rank. Similarly if we secure ranks in Andhra university level, we are offered several cash awards etc and free study for entire B.com course. I could not get any of these.

There is no hostel and mess facility provided in our college when i used to study. We can easily get PG accommodation in Visakhapatnam near RTC complex and Ramatalkis area. This is just walkable distance from the college. Average rental is 5000 per month with food and accomodation in these boys hostels and PG's

Exams and labs were not very difficult. The course is moderate and it can be done with ease. Labs were fun and especially the records, projects with friends are still memorable for me. We can get assistance from our college lecturers regarding the same. I used to do all my work in time and never it was hectic for me. If we neglect daily work, finally some day everything shall pile up and become hectic.

We need to visit the college in person and fill in the application form along with a deposit of Rs. 5,000. We need to submit the copy of our 10th std and 12th std pass certificates and mark list when we fill the application form. This is an Andhra University affiliated college, our details shall be sent to AU. Once we fill the form , the college administration team shall stay in touch with us regarding the date of commencement of classes etc.

Faculty in this college were very supportive and they used to assist me in every aspect of my course. I did not face much problem with the faculty and the facilities provided. They used to give me guidance and support for my CA course. With their support I could pass my CA Inter with ease and currently i m attempting my CA final exams.
