Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Me being a keen enthusiast towards English language totally influenced my decision to choose this course. This curriculum shapes the most needed thing that's vocabulary and makes you fluent and acceptable in the real world. Increasement of digital tools and showcasing the study material on the projecror. In total there are 6 semesters along with internals and assignments. Hardly a 3months gap between the exams. No paper is difficult enough is you study well.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 100000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

There's no hike in the tution fee as it's affiliated under the West Bengal Government Near about 1 lakh There's a number of scholarships provided by the college one is Swami Vivekananda Scholarship I've been chosen to Intern with Radio Mirchi Fm

Campus Life

Huge range of festivals take place- Freshers, Annual Sports, Cricket Tournament, Indoor tournaments, Food Festival, Blood donation Camp, Social and many more Library is stacked up with every book you need Sports is a celebrated occasion here

Admission

You need to have atleast 60% to be eligible for the course. Calcutta University Official Website No entrance exam was needed. No need to improve the admision process it's great and affordable and also done in a pretty synchronised way

The bond between the professors and students is beyond imagination. Professor's being intellect as well as frank helped us the students a lot to learn from them. The way of teaching and getting into the subject matter becomes much more interesting when accustomed with digital teaching. Interacting with the professors never seemed to be a hustle as they were always there to help out.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

Likes

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.
