Guidance of my teachers pushed me to do MCA: Kumar Abhijeet

TNB College, Bhagalpur

First of all, I would like to applaud this initiative taken by SHIKSHA to collect information about the colleges around India. From my point of view, none can judge a college better than then the students who have actually studied there.

Why I also think this is a very great step by SHIKSHA because colleges in our locality rarely get reviewed, neither by government authorities nor by autonomous organizations.

When we talk about the education system of our country, the colleges of the state of Bihar will always be at the bottom. There are no central universities in Bihar and the colleges here are not in a commanding position when it comes to managing sessions strictly and providing placements. But over the years, a large number of talented people have been serving the nation in almost all domains like Engineering, Medical and Journalism which have actually completed their degrees from these non-famous colleges of the country.

Keeping all these things aside, let me talk about my college from where I have just completed my graduation.

I am from Bhagalpur and a student of Tej Narayan Banaily College (TNB). TNB College is regarded as the topmost college of Tilkamanjhi Bhagalpur University (TMBU) which has 29 constituent colleges. The courses offered by TNB College includes subjects related to Science and Arts stream along with two vocational courses BCA and Biotechnology.

As my course of study was BCA, I can share some of my experiences while completing this course.

I got admitted to this course in 2014 by cracking a rather easy entrance exam which included intermediate level questions on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

Studying at TNB College

After getting admitted, the first thing which I noticed was the environment of the college. The seniors gave us a fresher party to establish cordial relations with us. We came across some good knowledgeable teachers. As I had deep interests in learning about computers, I enjoyed every moment of it. Learning about various programming languages like C, C++, java and writing codes to enhance my logical abilities was great fun.

Now, I have completed my course after delay of one year. The reason for this delay is that this institution is not managed properly when it comes to timely commencement of examination. Over the years it has now become customary that you will have to face the delay of one year or even two years no matter which course or subject you are pursuing. Adding to this there is no placement cell in our university so that even the vocational courses like BCA are being regarded as 'just another course'.

As I have talked a lot about the cons of my college, now let me also share the brighter aspects of my college. But before I do that I would like to tell you that I have cracked NIMCET exam (NIT MCA Entrance Exam) 2018 and I am waiting for my counselling. The motivation that I have gathered from the learned teachers and the associated staff is exceptional. Yes, the number of teachers in my department is comparatively low but the quality they possess is immense.

My next destination is MCA

It’s only because of their teaching skills, I felt amazed about the world of computers and tried to learn every bit of it. It is for the same reason that I decided to crack NIMCET to get admission in NIT colleges for MCA course. I am very thankful to them.

So, though I have lost one year extra studying at TNB College without being selected in any company; the doors of future are wide open for me.
