Remarks

I love this college.After readig 1.5 years I have not felt that I am in college.it is still like a school.But one thing that disappoints me is its toilets.They are so dirty.some of them are so old. And there is no internships or job opportunities.we need hostels. We need scholarships.certain faculty stuffs are rude. This things are needed to improve.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Our college is under cbpbu(Coochbehar Panchanan Barma University).previously its exam structure was annual based but recently cbcs system has started.That means we are giving 2 exams in every year.we have completed 3 exams and now in June there is going to be our 4th exam.Personally I like cbcs system because in this exam structure you have the freedom to choose subjects.we were given 2 lists from which we selected our general elective subjects(pass).In this exam structure internal marks play an important role. There are 10 marks in the hands of college.(6 for exam/assignment/seminar etc and 4 for attendance).So attendance is necessary and I like that.

Placement Experience

0.5

No.there is no such opportunities.I think internship or job opportunities are much popular In the engineering,medical or sciencebased subjects.But our college is totally devoted to arts.and in my 1.5 years of experience I have not seen such programmes.As the college is still in development process I think soon this process will start.

College Events

4.5

Our college is situated in North Bengal and the college is named afrer Panchanan Barma,a famous personality.so his birthday is celebrated in different colleges. Freshers Welcome programme,Sports,Saraswati puja,Bashanta utsav,departmental programmes including seminars,farewell are celebrated in regular besis.

Fee Structure And Facilities

No.fee structure is not too much expensive.For honours course they take total 9000-10,000 for 3 years.In Geography dept the fee is little bit high.we have to keep in mind that it is not a govt college.It is in development process we can't expect the fees lower than that.

Fees and Financial Aid

I don't know such things.I have not heard about a scholarship offered by college. But there are kanyashree,uttarkanya,vivekananda etc which are only for SC ST or poor students.I belong to general category and My annual family income is above 3,00000 so I don't get such facilities.

Campus Life

3.5

In our college there are jim,lab,library etc.I don't know about the labs as that are only usable for geography dept.the library I know. It is vast and you will find so many books! You can take the books but before every exam they issue a notice where you have to take library clearance certificate.unless that you can't sit for exam. I have seen the jim room but I hv never gone to that room.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

As I have alreay stated that the college is in development process. There is no hostel alloted for the students.But there are 2 hostels which are given by the CM for SC,ST students of all the colleges in coochbehar .I belong to general category so I am not applicable to stay in the hostel.But I have heard from they get breakfast and dinner only.hostel fee is 500-800 I think.When the rate of foods increase they pay extra money. More to that the hostels are ragging free.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The first day I went to the college I was very nervous for the seniors. Because in most of the colleges they teases or irritates their senior for first few months.The first day I saw they were just watching us. There was an intro session.The teachers took our classes and we simply went home.They are so friendly.If we ask them something they explain so quitely.They are really very helpful.

Faculty

As I am in English dept I can say it is the best dept in the college.there are 4 teachers for our dept.3 of them are permanent.Everyone is so wise and friendly.They teach us so many things which are necessary for future. I don't know much about other depts but I think improvements are needed as most of them are guest or part time teachers.

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.
