S. Durga Devi

St. Mary's College Thoothukudi, B.Sc Mathematics

Reviewed on Nov 29, 2015

Entrance Preview

Being UG, there were no entrance exams and I particularly opted for this college as it was one among the best ladies college in our town. My special liking for maths made me choose the same as my score in my +2 was 195 in maths.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The syllabus was wide but easy with two electives, Statistics and Physics. Right from Linear Algebra to Operations Research we had different syllabus each semester.

Internships Opportunities

Sorry. As I was doing my UG, there was no need for internship. However, we had to do a compulsory project in our third year based on our specialization subject, maths.

Placement Experience

In general, for any UG course, job opportunities are not so much open, but still our college brought job offerings from some companies for outsourcing jobs during the final year.

College Events

4.5

We have many celebrations in our college and to name them, Fine arts, Independence day, Sports day, Christmas day, Mission Sales, Pongal and College day. Fine arts is the most scintillating event that is a competitive event between all the departments and is conducted for three colorful days.

Fees and Financial Aid

As I had already mentioned, our college offered scholarships for deserving students and for those from backward communities. Even I wad one of those benefitted students.

Alumni/Alumna

Fine arts, Sports day and farewell parties were the best keys to mingle well with the seniors and we never missed those opportunities. We were one as a department and there was no discretion as Ist, IInd or IIIrd years students. Till date, alumni meetings are going on, but I personally feel guilty for not being able to attend them.

Exam Structure

Ours is a semester exam system where exams are conducted twice every academic year and apart from that we would have two monthly tests and one model exam. Even semesters generally moved faster and that made the exams in even semesters hectic when compared with odd semesters.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty of maths department consisted of just 4 to 5 professors, but all were well versed with their syllabus. They were helpful and always wanted us to learn after complete understanding.

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.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.
