What Students Say

Likes

There are lot of seminars organised by the college on various issues including women empowerment, vocational courses , and current day fads and fashions.
I also liked he fact that most of departments arranged for excursions for students to let them study outside the classroom periphery and learn from and within nature.
Teachers encourage students to present research papers at various research oriented seminars.

Dislikes

The hygiene is of great concern , especially girls' in the college.
Lack of placement opportunities. In other words , students do not get the on campus facility of placements,after course completion they have to go to companies and give their interview

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose this course because literature has been an area of compassion to me always. And getting into graduation with this and now pursuing masters have opened doors for me to meet a lot of other persons , apart from my faculties who guide me with my research programs. According to me the course curriculum is absolutely fine , nothing has to change in it. The exams take place at regular intervals , with each semester of being a 6 months course.

Class Size: 52Course Fees: INR 2500 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

I took admission in Michael Madhusudan Memorial College affiliated to Kazi Nazrul University. The fees per year was 2500/- . It has increased in the past few years. Additionally, I didn't have any scholarship availability so my course funding was all made by me.

Campus Life

My campus experience is overall quite good. Every year the college organises annual sports day and annual cultural fest. Also , the library has a lot of good books to help students with their academics. There are projecters in the class to help students understand in an audio visual manner. The college student union also helps students in any matter of problem.

Admission

I did apply to another college , Durgapur Government College , but I got chosen not for Hons. but for English Program course. But a few days later I saw my name published in Michael's merit list for English Hons. I didn't have to give any admission test for that , the eligibility criteria was the 12th marks and now that I've come a long way , it's just because I chose Michael.

Faculty

My department has the most number of faculties in comparison to other departments including guest lecturers. My bonding with each faculty was great and even that is the reason that I'm pursuing my masters from the same college. All the faculty members guide me in the best ways possible. Also their teaching methods allow me to research about a lot of things in and around my course.

Night Life

Most of the days me and my friends go to a nearby cafe where we not only discuss life but also different ideas about how we can see any literature text through different perspectives . The locality around the college is quite safe. We don't have the availability to roam at night , because we don't have hostel facility and moreover we all are localities and no hostel is needed. But with friends after college that 1 to 2 hours are like the best hours of the day. Even we sit on the college ground to discuss various topics.

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.
