Course Curriculum Overview

3

I was driven towards this monument by speculation based on previous alumni and an enormous amount of civil servants because our university is popularly known as the " homeland of civil servants". Although these things have become platitudes to this day. The ratio of student-faculty ratio is overwhelming as there are a lot of students and fewer faculty staff recruited. As per the norms it has to be 1:25 but in AU, it is around 1: 50. The qualification of faculty members are sufficient for teaching but they all lack teaching experience. one more thing Is that they have been doctrine within the same University and teaching in the same which promotes "academic inbreeding". The fresh viewpoints are lost. The condition of examinations is another problem for AU due to the overwhelming number of students. So the dates usually increase

Fees and Financial Aid

From my perspective, the fee hike is an obvious thing to do since the university is in a lot of debt already and it's not like the fee hike is absurd totally it is an essential and payable amount. Unfortunately, campus job hiring is not available due to the lack of academic courses.

Campus Life

3.5

You can find each type of group in this universe from political to studious, everything is available here. Although the hesitation in conversation and lack of confidence is there in a substantial amount nevertheless the environment here is nice and devoted towards what you want to do. The library in AU contains an enormous amount of knowledge although it is quite outdated but still one of the best things here. The promotion of extracurricular activities lacks here as it has fewer social groups with low number of interested students since majority of the students here are devoted to their studies.

Admission

I would say the exam was somewhere in the middle when it comes to difficulty. It wasn't so difficult as per my perspective the eligibility was for BA, BFA & BPA, students must have appeared or passed the 12th or equivalent exam in any stream from U.P Board/ CBSE/ ISC or an examination equivalent. I do belong to the EWS category so the 10% reservation was available for me as a matter of fact it didn't help that much I would say. But did help those students who in a real sense were needy. The changes or improvements are a must required thing for AU right now because it didn't manage to keep up pace with other universities. So to rejuvenate, there have to be fundamental changes required. First of all, the separation of study from politics, and the annual system of examination ought to be replaced by the semester system of examination. and try to promote merit

There is not a single reason to justify this question i would say. First of all the low standards and the prestige has become platitude to this day since there is no more environment left for study due to the paradigm shift of student culture. Too much in

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because it covers all essential topics required for higher studies. The curriculum is detailed and helps build strong subject basics. Teaching methods are traditional, so adding more interactive sessions and skill-based learning would be a great improvement. Exams take place every semester along with internal class tests, which helps in continuous evaluation without extra stress

Placement Experience:

Placements in our College are decent. Students become eligible from the 5th/6th semester, and companies from media, PR, and digital marketing fields visit for recruitment. The placement cell also provides training, internships, and guidance. After graduation, I plan to explore both campus and off-campus opportunities in media and communication fields.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm from humanities background so the course is quite relevant for me. The course is quite outdated however it's the same for most of the universities. the curriculum should be aligned with the competitive exams and the teaching methods should be more inclusive about the competitive exams so that the student can prepare well not only for the present course but also further upcoming exams.
