Exploring Academia of Tumkur University.
Placements: There are no sort of placement drives held at Tumkur University for Life Science course, but there are placements for BCA, M.Com and MBA courses where only Infosys and Wipro visit for hiring. We have a placements cell room which is of no use. It's not good for placements. It’s better to look for job oriented studies. For placements, you should choose any other college than this.
Infrastructure: Our college is located at the center of the city near the BH (Bengaluru to Honnavara) road. College is spread across 60 acres of land approximately. Science building is an old one while the arts and commerce buildings are newly built. Hostel is near the college and is maintained well. College is surrounded with a good environment having a lush green campus. A canteen is present inside the college. I would not recommend it because the food does not taste well, there is no proper change in the menu having the same dishes every day. Every subject has 5-6 labs provided but Chemistry has 8 labs. There are 2 rooms for indoor games, 1 badminton ground, 1 Table tennis room, 1 basketball ground, 1 Lawn tennis ground and 3 big grounds meant for cricket along with 2 helipads. There is a separate room for medical emergency and there are 3 gyms present in the college.
Faculty: Every Professor is well qualified and most of them are Ph.D. holders. They have all cleared their NET and SLET exams. Guest faculty members are also well qualified having done their Masters. Every subject has at least 10-15 faculty members. They are so interactive with the students and whenever we approach them with any questions or queries, they answer us well. But some times they don’t complete the syllabus. There are extracurricular courses introduced like NSS, NCC, Physical education, Logical reasoning, Library Science, and Mental ability for the students. Exams are conducted semester wise with 60 marks for writing and 40 marks for internals. 24 is the passing score required in the theory exams. Lab exams are held before the theory exams which consist of 50 marks.
Other: I have a passion in Life Science so I chose Zoology where we have 3 labs and 1 Animal museum. Animals have been brought in from the Zoos and from Wildlife Sanctuaries for the students to study well about them. The thing which needs to change in our course is that they need to conduct lecture series every week. Our college events include SRUJANA which is meant to appreciate the students and the college’s achievements. ASHMITHE is an event for showcasing the students’ talents. Kannad Rajyotsava is celebrated every year by performing cultural programs. A convocation is held every year. Campus is big having around 1000+ students in the Science building, We have a Xerox shop in our college along with a stationary shop. Extracurricular activities like inter-college and intra-college sports, seminars, exhibitions, cultural programs are held. Yearly trips, excavations, NSS camps, NCC camps, rangers and rovers camps are also held every year. Scholarships from the government and non government agencies are provided for backward class and economically weaker students, especially the SSP scholarships.
