I like the university but I feel that they need to improve a lot.
Placements: There are no placements in the university nor there are facilities of career guidance or internship. In this competitive world, I think it would be advantage if the university start internships and placements. The top role offered after the course are HR manager and civil servants.
Infrastructure: There are 6 departments in one building but all departments are well differentiated. The classrooms are spacious. There is no Wi-Fi or proper network on campus. There is canteen and health care clinic on campus but the campus is big and it's quite far. There is hostel with mess service with average food. There is well-equipped gym building and big outdoor ground where inter departmental programs take place.
Faculty: The curriculum is well designed to meet the needs of career opportunities like political sociology, educational sociology, and philosophical sociology are some of the important papers. There are 3 internal exams, 20 marks each of which the average is taken, and 1 final exam for 80 marks. The passing percentage is 40%. The teachers are well qualified but they are strictly formal and focused on academics.
Other: There were no events this year since covid was on. Hopefully, the next year, we have many events, fests, and extracurricular activities. I love sociology and interacting with people so I would like to take up a project in my next semester.
