Remarks

It has it's ups and downs, but it's easy to ignore the negative points and just enjoy the positives if you really want to. There is a lot of politics on campus that can be quite frustrating sometimes, but I think that's the case everywhere.

Entrance Preview

I didn't do any of the above entrance tests, there was an entrance test and interview at the college. I chose the college because I liked the environment, the campus and the course seemed interesting.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

You have to do three foundation courses and one language alongside the three majors, English, Journalism and Psychology. You have to give a lot of time and effort to each major. Journalism requires a lot of outside-the-classroom work. All three need individual efforts.

Internships Opportunities

We had to find our own internships, only a few were offered to us by companies, but we didn't take them. We were taught to do all these things on our own, and most of us did our internships for the experience and certificate rather than for a stipend.

Placement Experience

3

The course is still new, and we are the first batch. Most of the people from my batch are planning to go in for future studies so they haven't applied for placement services, although the college does have an active and running placement cell that people from other courses have told us is giving good opportunities.

College Events

4

At all times there is something or the other happening on campus. whether it's fests or conferences or performances, there's always something. There are many associations to join, sports to play, events to help organize. There is no lack of extra curriculars.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It works out to less than 40000 per year, and compared to some of the other colleges in the city, that is quite reasonable. There will be small expenses here and there, but nothing too drastic.

Fees and Financial Aid

I have not taken a scholarship, so I am not aware. I think they do have options, but I am not sure. I think there is an application procedure, so one should just get in touch with the college office to find out.

Campus Life

3

For me, campus life is great. There is an abundance of extracurriculars. There are many associations to join, certificate courses to do, events to attend or help organise. There are also people from all over the county so you get exposed to different cultures. We have talks and seminars all the time on all kinds of interesting topics. Of course there will also always be the talks that we go to and fall asleep, but that's the case everywhere.

Hostel Facilities

3

I have not stayed in the hostel, but we do have a hostel for boys as well as for girls. There are also a lot of PGs nearby. I stay with my parents, but my friends pay about 4-5 thousand for PGs in a month, some stay in apartments and share with friends and pay a few thousand more.

Alumni/Alumna

I always see ex-students coming back to campus, meeting the teachers, spending the day with their juniors, just being on campus, and I myself expect to come back many times, because it's my second home now. Alumni meets are organised.

Exam Structure

In a semester, we have one set of mid semester tests and one set of end semester exams. Practical exams happen before the end semester examinations. It's usually organised well and isn't too hectic.

Faculty

4

The faculty is what has made the course so good. It is very intensive, but at the end of it, you leave with a lot of experience. The Psychology department is still new, so it's not quite as big as the English department, but it still has people that are easy to approach.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English curriculum at the Central University of Karnataka is comprehensive and academically relevant. The course covers British Literature, American Literature, Indian Writing in English, Literary Theory, Linguistics, and Cultural Studies, providing students with a strong foundation in language and literature. The interdisciplinary approach under NEP and the availability of electives were among the factors that influenced my decision to choose this course.

Placement Experience:

The university does have a placement team which faculy and student led. Studnets become eligible for placements towards the end of their fourth year - last semeter. Approximately 100-150 NGO's come to campus for recruiting. The university does not promote private firms for placement but students can apply indivitually. The average pay is 20 Lakh per year. Many students after undergraduation opt for higher studies, so is my plan. But most of the master's students opt for placement and 98% - 99% get placed into NGO in top positions. I plan to pursure a masters degree after my undergraduation, preferably in economics.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I selected BA(English) course. Because I was quite good at English that's why I chose it. And I still Didn't go to college. Because our class starting date didn't announce by the college (Kittel arts college, Dharwad). That's why I have no idea about teaching staff and facilities. Of course, I hope it will be the best that I heard about this (kittel arts college, Dharwad) college. I heard only positive comments about this college.

Placement Experience:

In the final year students become eligible for placements and we have placement cell also. In 2nd year only we have attended 2-4 news channels interview and training. But due to pandemic, we didn't attend placements and all. And our seniors to didn't attend for placements because they are interested in higher education. So the percentage of placements is not clear, but for us, they prepared fully to attend any type of job interviews and also to handle all juniur of news channel and newspaper.
