What Students Say

Likes

There was a lot of nature , Calmness and peace.
The infrastructure of the university is very pretty

Dislikes

Few of the hostel facilities were very bad

Course Curriculum Overview

The relevance and comprehensiveness depend upon various factors such as knowledge about the practical world and areas of focus. As far as if we are talking about the exams they are conducted thrice per semester as minors 1-2 and majors also 10 marks assignment is also conducted, which can be either presentation, or project.

Class Size: 31Course Fees: INR 84000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

In bachelors in BIOTECHNOLOGY, the total fee per year is 74,000 and in Masters. It is 84,000, which is quite fair. There are number of scholarships available for students who are well in the curriculum. The university also provided internship programs for its students.

Campus Life

There are a number of societies and clubs running, for example, music, dance, and art. There are fests as well that are conducted yearly like resurgence. There's also a library, which has a wide variety of books for every department. If a person is interested in sports, they can also enroll themselves in various matches like basketball cricket soccer.

Admission

The college takes entrance exams however I was in the Covid 19 batch so the admissions in that year (2020) were based on the 12th board exams. One can find the details, application form on the official website itself.

Canteen is small according to student population

Course Curriculum Overview:

First of all, I had taken science in my 12th too, that is why I wanted to continue in science and due to my interest in physics and chemistry, I continued in this course. The curriculum provides me with Whatever is sufficient in my course and whatever knowledge I need, I will have more than that. Exam timing should be in the afternoon only because morning gets very late in coming due to which exam gets skipped, rest it is perfect

Government Degree College for Women- Academically marvelous with good infrastructure.

Likes

The campus beautiful and very well maintained. It has a beautiful playground and is located in the middle of the town.
This college is safe and secure for girls. It has some unique features like Committee Against Sexual Harassment, Anti Ragging Committee etc.
The campus has drinking water facilities, good canteen with good food and great administration.

Dislikes

The sitting arrangement for the students is not upto the mark.
The college does not provide good transportation facilities for students coming from far flung areas who face a lot of difficulty in reaching the campus.
The washrooms need improvement. The hygiene needs to be improved. More washrooms should be constructed.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is very interesting. The specific areas that influenced my decision are Number Theory and and Calculus. In this course we're taught everything that we need to pursue higher studies like M.Sc. The exams are conducted by University of Kashmir and the difficulty level is average. The faculty is highly qualified and the teaching method employed is to deliver a lecture and it can be improved by making the sessions more interactive and immersive by increasing the use of technology like smartboards.

Likes

College has a newly constructed classroom building of 5 -6 floors equiped with smartboards & new infrastructure.
Teachers are very cooperative & friendly with students
College has a great environment & far away from highway making it less noisy from traffic noise.

Dislikes

College has a very small campus size & no one is talking about that
College does not care about hostellers for instance we were drinking unpurified water from last year
Not clean drinking water for students, tastes sandy when you drink it no purifier

Course Curriculum Overview:

Information technology was my interest based course that I opted in.. but when I saw the course syllabus it was old & theoretical based, lacks new & fresh syllabus would not guarantee job. Course could be better if newly updated syllabus would be include. Despite having smartboards no one is teaching on them or talking about using them.. Exams & syllabus Easy because of old curriculam

Nice and Unbiased review of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University Katra

I have applied in many colleges and I also get seat in them but the only reason I use assembly because the college is close from my home. Just because of travelling purposes I choose this college. The admission process in our college is not very difficult. The only way to get admission in the college by csab counselling and by college internal counselling.The cut off of the branch is 60 percentile for general students. I don't get any rejection from any other colleges....Read More
