IISU: Experience

The course curriculum aptly covers all aspects of the subject that a professional should know. It prepares a person for real world too as there is equal amount of importance given to learning of theory as well as understanding the practical implications of what have been learned. A scholastic year is divided into two semesters. One semester includes coverage of 2 syllabus units after which the CA (continuous assessment) takes place. After the CA the rest 3 syllabus units are covered and then the Semester End Examinations take place. After the SEE, there is a break of around one month followed by another semester. In all, one Semester covers 5 units and overall the curriculum covers 10 units in one scholastic year in every paper code. This system allows to efficiently understand and learn about the required material without putting too much pressure at once.

As it is the first year of my course, there have not been more than 4-5 internship opportunities that suited my interests. As and when any internship opportunity arises, the teachers inform the students about all the details.

There are annual fests and cultural events usually scheduled in the winter months. The classrooms are equipped with projectors for presentations and teaching purposes but it would be better if the college could provide better furniture in the classes. There are many student clubs such as theater clubs, dance clubs, literature clubs etc.

The Admission process did not involve any major steps. It was simple and smooth. A form was filled out and a registration fees of Rs.1,500 was submitted at the time of purchasing the form. The form is easily available at the college office where teachers are also available to guide you throughout the process and eligibility of the course All necessary information is provided by the teachers as they guide you throughout the form filling process.

Our current batch has a faculty to student ratio of 1:72 per paper code and there are 7 paper codes in total. It does not impact the learning experience much as not everybody is present everyday. The faculty is too good and very well learned in what they're doing. There has been instances when the learning methods of some teachers have not gone down well with the students and the HOD is always willing to hear out and understand the problems faced by the students. All teachers are approachable and provide time to time mentorship to the students to make them aware with the recent trends.
