Best Decision of My Life

The scope of the course ACCA(UK) is what mainly influenced me to take this course. This particular curricular has alloted the exams and classes in such a way that the students get equal time to focus on both and eases the pressure of exams. The 4 year UG course focuses mainly on experiential learning. Which means that efforts are taken to involve the students in the lecture. Active participation of students are ensured in this course that comprises of many activities. This help the students to keenly observe and experience several topics in the real world. The teaching methods are really good and the faculties are trying their maximum to make theory classes as interesting as possible to keep the students engaged in the class. Improvements can be made by working on divding the class into even more small sections so that the focus is more concentrated.

Rajagiri College of Social Sciences provide internship oppurtunities to the students.The internship program provided by the department of statistics at RCSS provided the students with a valuable oppurtunity to gain practical experience and apply thearetical knowledge in a real world setting. Through hands on projects, workshops, and seminars, students developed essential skills and competencies that will serve them well in their future career.

After the board exam of the 12th grade, I immediately did a research on good colleges. My focus was inside Kerala itself as it is more convinient. I applied to St. Berchmans College Changanassery, Sacred Heatrts College Thevara and Rajagiri College of Social Sciences. I attended the orientation session organised by Rajagiri college and I was quite impressed. By the grace of God, I got accepted by all of them. Out of the colleges I applied, I was keenly interested and looking forward for the offer letter from Rajagiri College of Social Sciences. The reason is that by my research, I had found out that it was the best college in Kerala for B.com degree. It even competed with the colleges outside Kerala. Moreover, it had good ranks and national accreditations. With few suggestions from relatives, I also came to know that Sacred Hearts was also a good college. I was a little confused while picking up my college. I accepted the offer letter from Rajagiri and went to the college for admission process at the date as per mentioned in the offer letter. I submitted the necessary documents and left. Later on I changed my mind and attended the admission process at Sacred Heart. At last, I changed my mind again and joined Rajagiri college which I think was the best decision I ever made in my life. The admission process was simple. We had to submit the necessary documents like 10th and 12th grade mark sheets, medical certificate, birth certificate, etc. Then we had interview with the faculty. After the cross checking was done we were directed to meet the principal. After the meeting, the measurement for uniform was taken and booked for hostel.

The faculties are one of the main pillars of the success of Rajagiri College of Social Sciences. Each and every faculty contributes so much to the growth of the college. All the faculties I've met till now, have been very nice to me. My faculties are so nice and make the students comfortable with being open to them. Their knowledge about the subjects are really appreciable. Their method of teaching in the new 4 year UG program is really impressive and creative. They try their level best to make sure that each and every student understands the topic thoroughly. There are three exams per semester excluding acca papers. There are two internal exams and one semester exams. Other than that there are 4 professional level ACCA papers starting from the 3rd semester. There is also mock papers for ACCA.

There were no special group discussion or such things. There was a meeting with the HoD and the principal. It was just a casual interview expkaining the facilities of the college and such. It was at the time of admission
