Vishakha's Review On University Of Mysore, Institute Of Development Studies - [IDS], Mysore

I was doing a job in Mysore only. Thus I wanted to do my PhD from same place only so that I didn't need to give up my job for doing my PhD. Also few friends of mine were already product of this esteemed college

Environmental studies were entirely based on nature. I studied various types of resources we have in the nature, threats on them, whether they're renewable energy or non renewal energy, everything was dealt. Dr. M. Meera was my favourite teacher in my department

As I was already doing a job in a environment based NGO, I didn't looked up for job opportunities given by the college. Thus I don't have much knowledge about it. But according to my little knowledge, job offers were not very much. As EVS again comes with restricted offers.

For PhD students, there were not much programs held. Just two of it was something which are remembered by each of us and that is my Fresher's party and farewell party. Other programs were also good, but I never got that much time to enjoy it with my busy schedule.

Ph.D is completely a research based degree. I invested my 80% of time in library researching on various topics and subtopics. Library books and journals provided me a great help with their diverse nature(genre)

Hostel capacity was very rich. But it was slightly expensive. As i was already living in a PG, I didn't paid much attention to it. But I heard from my friends that food from hostel was delicious and very nutritious.

After completing my M.Sc, I simply applied in this college and got my admission done as there were no admission test or interview taken from me
