Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is pretty student friendly, easy to follow and stress free. Its made as simple as possible so that students can easily understand and follow through with it. The only drawback is the assignment load. Most of these are written for the sake of writing for very few marks. Most of the times, they are not checked and is a waste of time.

Admission
I had tried to apply to MAHE, but they said the admission was closed. However, two days after my admission into the current college, they opened admissions again. The fees structure of MAHE was pretty much more expensive compared to NISH and the facilities weren't that great. The admission process in NISH was quite easy. Most of it was done online
Faculty
Each student is appointed a mentor. Each mentor has a maximum of three students to ensure equal and appropriate attention is given to all. The mentees can approach their mentors anytime without any hesitation and are always ready to help. So far, there are 7 teaching faculties in the speech language department and 7 teaching faculties in the audiology department. The clinical faculty includes 3 clinical supervisors in audiology and 3 clinical supervisors in speech language pathology. Apart from this, there are two librarians and 4 officer faculty members. Two sessionals are conducted per semester followed by an internal viva and semester end exam which includes the external viva. Most of these are easy to pass.
