What Students Say

Likes

Curriculum for Academics, class room facility

Dislikes

Dominating mindset of the administration towards the students who complains about food and all.
We will never feel this university is made for students, we will feel like this institution is made for some politicians to run their agendas
Administration targets the students if we raise concern.

Course Curriculum Overview

Before coming here I studied in a state university for the same course for a month, that time I had gone through the syllabus. Comparing with that syllabus, curriculum in BA English in Central University of Karnataka is far far better. Some courses I feels like irrelevant for example classical kannada literature other than that we have various courses for example British literature, History of English Language, European in classics in translation, American Literature, Modern Indian Fiction, Diaspora studies, Literary Theory, Criticism, Russian literature, South Asian literature, Latin American Literature etc.

Class Size: 35Course Fees: INR 8000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fees is Comparatively less compared with other colleges. For Odd semester I have to pay around 5000 and for even semester it's around 3500. Which includes everything from tuition fees to exam fees. All the payment are very minimal as the facilities are minimal. Since I am from OBC I am getting scholarship from state government. I am getting whole fee including mess and hostel

Campus Life

0.5

Talking about about the campus like. It's very bad. In a hostel room there are around 10 students for UG. Sports facilities are very bad. No recreational activities at all. There will be some random festivals which are organised by different departments. There is no such big festivals at all. Library is also very small with limited books especially for literature. There are no active clubs run by students. There is no such options for students to gather.

Admission

I enrolled for Ba English in Central University of Karnataka. The admission was based on the entrance exam called CUCET back then on 2021. The eligibility of course was just 55% mark in 12. The application form was there in Samarth portal of respective University. After cucet mark sheet we need to apply seperately in the university samarth portal. I got reservation as I belongs to OBC, for that I produced non-creamy layer certificate issued by Tahsildar. The whole admission process was easy. I didn't worry much.

Campus Life @ Central University of Karnataka

Likes

The campus was too good in its environment.
The exposure was too good with good library facilities.
We can socialise with Pan Indian exposure

Dislikes

Hostel facilities was not well maintained
Hostel food was not that much good sometimes
College was situated in a rural place, it was so hard to travel.

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.

Why Azim Premji University?

Likes

The quality of teaching for my course - BA Economics (Hons) is exceptional. The professors give quality time with each student to ensure concepts are clear and go beyond the surface level teaching of all concepts.
Every student gets their own mentor, who is a professor within the University who will help you guide yourself through everything, ranging from academic difficulties to personal grievances. There are regular sessions scheduled with these mentors..
There is plenty of freedom in the university. Unlike other university's there is no strict dress code or unreasonable rules for the students to follow. The campus allows each indivitual to be true to themselves.

Dislikes

The campus is very far from the city, making it difficult to have any sort of weekend get aways to the city tiresome. There are very few places around the campus that will let you experience city life.
The university does not encourage competitive spirit festivals like youth festivals apart from sports. Hence narrowing down the avenues where students can get certificates for extra curriculars to add on to your CVs
Academic rigor can get too overwhelming sometimes and one may not get time to study for other parallel exams for masters like GMAT, CAT, GRE etc. Finding time for extra curriculars may also get difficult.

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.

Insight into KJC by a real life student

Likes

The campus is a plus. It's really clean and green. They really take care of the cleanliness of the Campus. As for the girls to boys ratio, in my class there are more girls than boys. Idk much about college overall.
I like my professors a lot. But it's all about luck. I got nice ones.
We have LMS in college. So we are provided with notes and syllabus online that we can use anytime we want.

Dislikes

The administrative office is very annoying sometimes. Just to answer one question they send the students to different offices and waste our time.
I don't understand the dress code system. I mean it's good but girls are not allowed to wear long skirt. I'm not talking about short clothes. But even long skirts are not allowed.
I would say I dislike the locality sometimes. It's not that developed so there's always something kind of construction going on which causes a lot of pollution and breathing problem specially for me with breathing issues.

Course Curriculum Overview:

We get to learn many things not because of just the syllabus and courses but also because of the national and international conferences that are held in our college. People from other colleges come in and share their knowledge with us. This experience is really good for us students. We even have expert lectures from our alumnis who give us advice on what all is required in the world outside college to earn. All these are really helpful.
