Entrance Preview :

The admission was based on the graduation marks only. I have pursued my graduation in Geology so it was obvious that I would opt for this course in this great and renowned university.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The curriculum were well-designed to learn the subject in details. However, I feel that only theoretical knowledge does not help these days. Student should be equally equipped with modern techniques, state-of art technologies etc to be in line with the industry standard.

Internships Opportunities :

Yes, But most of them dont provide stipends. The companies names are big and all the major players are in it, but none of them provides stipends. The companies like CIL, ONGC, Indian Oil, Tata Steel, UCIL, Lafarge and many others came for internships.

Placement Experience :

Placement cell is very poor. Students committees sometimes arrange campusing on their own. College authorities are very helpful lack the pro-activeness. Some companies came and picked few students and offered about 2.0 lakhs package. Some off-campus recruitment was arranged by the teachers which had higher packages of around 3-3.5 and even 5-7 lakhs INR p.a packages.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

No, the college doesn't offer any loan/ scholarship facility. But Dept of Geology has two scholarships sponsored by ONGC. Other depts have same type of sponsored scholarships in the M.Sc level. DST also sponsors a scholarship to the most deserving candidates.

Campus Life :

M:F Gender ratio is around 55:45 in Department of Geology. But in many department the M:F ratio is 40:60 and even 20:80. There are a number of cultural societies and clubs. The university and its culture is very much tolerant towards all ethnicity and race/ religions. Many students come from backward classes, ST/SC and minorities.

Alumni/Alumna :

Alumni has a very strong and the reunion also helps in networking with the industry leaders who are eventually alumni of the department and the university.

Exam Structure :

No, exams were semester-based and the curriculum used to be greatly handled by the teachers and did not even seemed to be a burden on us. Syllabus was awesome and very interesting to draw the attention of the students. The lab facilities were very good and arranged in a orderly manner to ease our task.

Admission :

They have asked us to submit the mark-sheet with the filled in form. And then the merit list was published. Then they asked for the counseling on a specific date and on the basis of the counseling, the final merit list was published and they asked to deposit the admission fee on the specific date.

Faculty :

Faculties were quite capable and very much knowledgeable and student-friendly. Some subjects were covered by guest lecturers,who were equally capable and some of the big names in their domains. Though I feel that the faculties should put a focus on some-application based syllabus and curriculum.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Per semester should be happen for 6 months. Practicals should be done hands on by individual students. But im really happy to get a chance to pursue the course here. I gain some practical knowledges and cleared some small problems. I cleared all my doubts properly.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I'm reading the same course in the same college I did my graduation, things are pretty much the same to me except for the syllabus. The faculty-to-student ratio has decreased from 11:28 to 11:20. The course has just begun and the faculty has been the same to us as before. Looking forward to a great 2-year experience.
