Dislikes

The campus is a temporary one. A permanent campus is under construction near Vadodara. There could be more facilities, for e.g. better accomodation in the temporary campus.
The canteen could be better. They mostly provide vegetarian food and often non-vegetarian students struggle to fit in.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The curriculum is at par, or I'd say even better than what most universities offer in India. It is equipped with very contemporary and up-to-date texts which are very relevant today. The teaching methods vary from individual teachers, but they all share the same enthusiasm and intellectual strength to guide students. Assessment is divided into End-sems (50 marks), Mid-terms (25 marks), Term Paper (15 marks) and an assignment (10 marks). The teachers prepare the students to be critically ready for any sort of questions. They also employ technological aids for their pedagogy. The only improvement I can suggest is that the department needs to organise field trips or funded excursions to academically relevant areas.

Class Size : 33Course Fees : INR 5000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

I am enrolled under the Master of Arts degree in the Centre for English in the School of Langauge, Literature and Culture Studies. I'm not aware of any internships for the Arts and Humanities disciplines in our university, as far as I know, there aren't any.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

The tuition fee is very affordable, it is charged once every semester. The exam fee is charged towards the end of the semester before the End-sem exams. The total cost of tution and exam fee and miscellaneous fees for the entire course upon my rough calculation amounts to ?12000. There are no scholarships for Master students that I know if, the university also provides minor aids and internship jobs for minorities or financially weak students. The university organises internships from different departments from time to time, each with it's unique academic or research opportunity.

Campus Life :

The campus is a temporary one which is set in a semi-urban area of Gandhinagar, in Sector 29 and 30. The library is very well stocked and the facilities in the campus are also well maintained. There are wheel chair aids, water purifiers and informational boards at every corner. The campus is also lush and ornamented with great care. The student body has many clubs and groups like the Movie club or Badminton club. The facilities include a langauge laboratory, a library, a computer lab, gym, two canteens, parking area, lawns, seminar hall, conference hall and so on. The social life within the campus is unfortunately not very happening due to it's geographical location in a semi-urban campus. The city of Ahmedabad is roughly 25kms away and provides ample for options to let loose. The overall experience in the campus is peaceful.

Admission :

The course required a Bachelor's degree from any course (background in English wasn't a requirement). The required cut-off was 55% for the general category. We had to sit for a common entrance test called CUET. The whole process was relatively straightforward. After we gave the exams, in the next few weeks we got our scored and applied for our preferred universities. The admission process in the University was also simple. Merit lists were released and students were admitted on the basis of first come basis from the list, subsequent lists were released for the vacancy seats. Fees was to be paid online and the receipt was to be shown to the adminstrative department. As the whole process was not complicated in the nearest, I don't have any particular suggestions for improvement.

Evrything to know in short about MSUB!

Placement Experience:

Placements do come and most likely to take master students, but also if bachelor's want to opt placement they can be it on or off campus. There's are good CTC provided and for a fresher it can be good start in the professional world. The highest package can go to 8 or 9 LPA to average 5LPA. Almost 90% to 95% students get placed. I would also like to sit for placements in coming year.

LIFE AT CEPT

Course Curriculum Overview:

My interest had always been inclined more towards understanding in depth about 'what is history'. In my bachelor's training, I was quite interested in history lectures and hence took up the research thesis to explore further. This all gave me clarity on what I really would like to pursue further. The class strength is 12. We have our tutor as well as teaching associate with whom group discussions, as well as individual discussions, happen on at regular basis. 1:12 All the faculties allocated have a minimum of 5 years of teaching experience, with master's qualification. End-semester reviews at cept are quite unique as there are no written exams. It is mostly graded on the level of our understanding, how in-depth we have got into research and our final outcome.
