Course Curriculum Overview
So, honestly, my decision was actually influenced by my mother as she is an ex student and I was not very much interested in joining the college as it did not allow us phones to keep and it was very much of a strange place to me. But as time flew in the campus I was very much enjoying the times spent there with thousands of things to learn about and most importantly I discovered myself there. In today's world, where people are too busy running behind others, this is a perfect place to discover yourself. With academics and the excellent faculty, there are a lot of life lessons learnt here.
Fees and Financial Aid
So, honestly, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of higher learning is a place where they donot charge a single penny for course fees, tuition fees or any fees besides the mess fees which is 20000 rupees on a yearly basis. I had to write 20000 rupees in the course fees section in the previous section as the page was not accepting 0 as a value. The reason being that the tuition fees in not given is because the college is owned by Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and he had a vision of imparting education to every child so every course in the university is free of cost.
Campus Life
So every festival here is celebrated with huge enthusiasm be it of any religion as we dive into the principles of Bhagwaan Baba, it is believed that god is one and so every festival is celebrated here. Also, there is something called self reliance where every student have to take up a department which can be of event management, dance, music, fine arts. Every week a competition is held based on these departments and there is a winner.
Hostel Facilities
Like mentioned, yearly 20,000 rupees is deposited for mess fees other than that nothing is charged. The food provided is sumptuous and variety is served on a daily basis. Discipline is maintained strictly and it is mandatory for every student to stay in the hostel. There are no day scholars.
Admission
I did not apply anywhere before Sri Sathya Sai institute of higher learning because as I mentioned before that my mother was an ex student so it was always decided that I would study there. The admission process is based on merit. There are basically three rounds where in the first round you get a calling letter for the written test, in the second round you appear for the test and when you clear the test you have to clear the interview round in the last round. That's how when gets admission here.
Faculty
The examination and marking scheme is very much fair and the highly experienced faculty is very much supportive with their teaching methods being highly excellent. The teacher student ratio being 8:1 is very much satisfying and 78% of teachers hold doctorate degrees and most of them are resident teachers which makes them very supportive and available throughout.
