Splendid Times.

College Management stood for the interest of the students and faculty members of the College. They were very keen in taking care of our each and every demand. The College comes under the control of Nair Service Society (NSS)

Course consisted of English Paper, a paper on second language Hindi, Economics main papers, a paper on Quantitative Techniques, Political Science and History, Curriculum didn't seem to be research oriented. But it someway suited to the requirements to be a professional.

That time, Companies didn't show much interest in visiting Arts and Science Colleges for campus selection. We had to knock the door of companies for placement. College that time had to separate recruitment cell. Most of the students would join professional courses after the College studies. I had to go for BEd course to get placement.

College was famous cultural and and management festivals. Many students used to participate in these festivals. Economics and Commerce departments used to conduct food festivals every year. Apart from this, every year the College Union would organize different type of festivals in which they would call celebrities to make special addresses.

It was really feasible. In fact, the College being an aided college fully funded by the Government, it didn't collect much fees from the students except tuition fee of nominal amount and exams fees. At the time of admission, a nominal admission fee had to be paid.

College and government had scholarship schemes that time for eligible students. Marks and Income level were the important critieria.

Most of the students were girls. Approximately, 70 percent were girls. Students from all religion, region and caste were there in the College. Political participation of the students were remarkable in those days. Union elections used to be held entirely on political bases.

My house was jut an hour away from the College. My classmates were staying in hostels. They had good facilities in College hostels. They used to get food of standard quality at nominal rates. Hostel wardens were friendly towards them.

Alumni was active in those days. We had interaction with the members of alumni. Many students used to get placement on account of their connection with the Alumni members

I chose Economics at it offers a mixture of skills like analytical skills, numerical skills, descriptive skills, reasoning ability and the like. I think no other course offers this much skill package. More over, Economics is a science of human interaction which deserves much attention. As the economies were opening in those days, I thought it would be the course of the time ahead. As I belonged to a middle class family, I couldn't afford to go far away places to joint other institutions. NSS College, Pandalam is just half an hour away from home. Moreover, my family members got educated from here. We have such bondage with this College.

Eight lecturers were there in the department. Their age averaged around 45, and all of them were post graduates. They were good i handling classes and had good and deep knowledge in the subject. We had a project work in the last year which helped us in getting connected with the industries.
