Environment and weather around the college is mesmerizing
Cuisine avaialbale outside coollege is outstanding

Dislikes

Burdens the students with unnecessary quizes and assignment
No proper guidance for higher studies and conpiterive exams

Course Curriculum Overview

Curriculum matching woth IITS. Frequent fests , ebviroment and teachers inspired me to join SMVDU. Curriculum is somewhat good but not at par with NITs IITs More practical approxah to education is required and students should be less burdened

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 800000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fee is increased after regular interval as per market trend and inflation. It is wuite high even for lower middle class family. Complete cost set around 800000 for 4 years excluding personal expenditure. JEE mains scholarship, Sem Scholarship are two main scholarship offered

Campus Life

3.5

TITIKSHA- year end AARTHA-mid year AADHAR-any free window RESURURGENCE- spring SARANG-autumn TARANG-spring Books and journals are available via library or even remote access through college email id Facilites are good withinn classes with projector in every class Sports are good, credit to lush green environment Many groups and clubs are run and you can even start your own club by the permission of DSW

Hostel Facilities

Meal is worst, no healthy food, junk food instead of healthy food. Late service and little to no special food. In hostel rooms, 1 bed almorah desk chair and fan is provided along with 2 electroc socket Registartion is simple. Just contact the warden of your alloted hostel and you will choose ur room No PG or rented room are allowed from cllg side

Hostel Fee: INR 44000 per year

Admission

I took admission on the basis of my JEE Main rank. Other methods of admission are also available. You can fir find application form on site of SMVDU with tab called ADMISSION. Application fee varies depending on mode of admission. Exams were of the pattern like 2 minor and 1 major exams followed bu practical exams and PPTs if any. Exams were of moderate difficulty and can be cleared easily. The quizes and Assignments are frequently given. Less students shall be admitted as it creates a jungle like enviroment in college

The infrastructure is good providing facilities like library, amphitheatre, auditorium etc.
I like college ground where we can walk and relieve from academics

Likes

College's weather is too pleasant and the air quality is also good
The environment is also very good and also the view is very nice
Seniors are very friendly in college and also the college has strict punishment for ragging.

Dislikes

The hostel food is not upto the level that a student expect.
The facility sometimes does not able to connect with Students
Hostels are very far away from the department and students have to move very far from the hostel

Placement Experience:

The placement of our college is Average and the students are eligible in 7 semester for placement. If the student has any backlog in any of the semester they can't sit in the college placement and also it has minimum criteria of 6.5 cgpa. The percentage of students getting placement is very low sadly

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
