What Students Say

Likes

College is right beside the main road so transport facility is good.
College has it's own library where you can study and spend your time in peace without any disturbance.
Faculty members are polite and ready to help and very knowledgeable.

Dislikes

The classes are jam packed as they are way too many students to fit in small classrooms. Especially my department.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I am enrolled in Ba philosophy and I actually didn't know what was this course about but I was interested to know what was there to learn so I took this course plus I was not so interested in studying other BA courses thus I chose philosophy.

Class Size: 105Course Fees: INR 1250 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

There are scholarships that you can apply once you join the college. I received the Vivekananda scholarship which was 12,000 rupees for BA students. The college will notify you one the site is open for registration. Or you can just check by yourself. Overall all the provided course are very affordable.

Campus Life

Campus life is good but i don't participate in most of the co-curricular activities as I don't have spare time due to my part-time job. It's great for those who take on the opportunities.

Admission

I opted for this college because it's in my neighborhood and the fee is also very very affordable and the faculty is also good. The application process is online and there's no application fees to be paid. Admission fee us also very less.

Faculty

3.5

All the faculty members are very knowledgeable and helpful. They are very approachable and you can go talk to them in their respective departments. Although teacher student ratio is bit disproportionate, the most important part is to put your efforts into learning and staying focused in classes and doing your own research and works. And it'll all be fine.

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.
