Dislikes
- The hectic nature of the course with less leisure time.The field work practicum during Wednesdays and thursdays made the students very tired. The travelling to far away places for field work was a bit risk. Students found difficulty to manage both.
- The placements were restricted to north India which required regional language fluency. The students from south found it as an issue for getting good jobs.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The placements offered by the Department was the key highlight. The field work practicum would enable you to familiarize real time working scenarios. The areas of improvement are to be made regarding the time allotted for the completion of assignments. The placement prospects are to be made available to South India as well.

The fee per year was 14000 for a student .For two years it would cost 28000. A student opting for the department hostel will have to pay hostel plus mess charges.

The field work practicum at the university had enabled me to take up the roles of a social worker like a mediator, negotiater, skill developer, empathetic listener, analyser etc
