Course Curriculum Overview :

It follows through the history of English literature but doesn't stop there- it extends beyond the modern, feminism, queer movement, delves even into physics and metaphysics, history, philosophy. It is truly interdisciplinary, and not at all about how well one can speak English . However the syllabus sometimes seems packed with material, we have to prioritise which one to study for exam and which to skip. But each class is worth attending. The exams are not difficult if one is well versed with the material and regularly attends classes. In exams, there is no way to cheat even if there isnt any invigilator because the questions are completely based off of our understanding and knowledge gathered from the recommended material and background resources. Reading out of the curriculum is the way to survive in this department enrichingly.

Class Size : 65Course Fees : INR 950 per year

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Last year I had paid 950/- which includes all kinds of fees. I do not know that of reservations'. Scholarship opportunities are rare, only the ones offered by the state govt and some other foreign universities like Rhodes scholarship (which is the only one I've heard so far) are announced for application

Campus Life :

There are annual festivals happening year long, the major ones being Sanskriti. There are three sanskritis hosted by the three faculty student unions of arts, science and Engg/tech. Other than that we have National literary fests like Sanglap, and other big freshers events like srijan and u-turn for engg faculties. Some clubs are more active than others like drama, mountaineering and dance. We keep getting calls from other institutions to perform. As for the mountaineering club, its like no other, one of the best ones in India, and dare I say, in Asia. The students are equally keen to participate. There are a range of sports practiced on campus and people go represent our university in sports for various events like Khelo India. As for academic accessibility, we have departmental libraries and one central library, along with two other common libraries, which amounts to almost 40 libraries. In classrooms we have projectors and AC, just enoughspace to accommodate ppl.

Admission :

I had given CUET and applied to many colleges except DU and JNU, because it's in Delhi. I had gotten into BHU, VBU, TISS, and 18 other universities. Jadavpur University being in NIRF 4th, i chose that for which I had to give the admission test. The eligibility criteria depends on the number of students giving the exam, and in my time it was 5000+ for 65-70 seats. The exam is easy in my opinion, but one has to contact the help desk people to get more help in the prep.

Faculty :

There are 16 faculty members and several research scholars who are part of the faculty. All professors are extremely qualified and passionate. Same goes for the entirety of Arts Faculty, from English to Film Studies, Comparative Literature to Economics, staffed with experienced professor and packed departmental libraries.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course circullam is mediocre. The staffs are well learned but many teachers remain absent and the course is not done thoroughly in the classes .. at the end of the day you yourself have to study making notes to pass the exams. the teaching of staffs are just an overview or rather a skeleton structure of the syllabus

A Bitter Sweet Experience In SXUK

Placement Experience:

From semester 5 the students are eligible for campus placements. The companies like Deloitte, PWC, KPMG, EY, HDFC Bank, IDFC First Bank, Axis Bank, Dabur,Godrej, Britannia, ABP, Reliance, Wipro, Flipkart and many more visit for placements in the campus. Post-graduate students are undergoing rigorous Internship with some of the leading organisation like, Balmer Lawrie, Tractors India Limited, State Bank of India, United Bank of India, Press Trust of India, Friends 91.9 FM, The Times of India, Coal India Limited, Tata Hospital, Hope Foundation etc. I will not be pursuing my line in corporate rather than on the path to be a clinical psychologist

HOW MAHARAJA MANINDRA CHANDRA COLLEGE REALLY IS

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was always interested in literature so I chose to study English literature. There are plenty of things to learn about and trust me it's not how people think it is. It gives you a deep insight of history too. Speaking of improvement in course curriculum, I think the college needs to have equal rules for everyone. I mean there are some teachers who only favour their favorites. And the provide very low marks in assignments. So I guess it needs to be fixed The duration of a class is 60 mins. Somedays there are total 5 class a day and some days just 2, depends on the shedule. The education system is really strong and the professor doesn't only teach syllabus but also teaches other things which can be very helpful for PhD

Loreto College: The Best Academia

Course Curriculum Overview:

This curriculum is enriched with literature works by British and American writers which is really enjoyable to read and the Teachers make it more exciting. Teachers are really good at explaining every single point in the syllabus. In the history of literature part they give us notes about each and every write a and there works so that we are familiar with most of the part of our syllabus. They does not teach only for the exams but they make sure that we learn everything with depth. We have a semester exams in every 6 month but sometimes it becomes 7 or 5. But the teachers are really supportive so that we don't panic in our exams.
