College that gives more than education

It still feel that the period we studied was the golden period as there was a tremendous change in the image of the College, the College ground was taken over under lease by India Cements for 99 years and it was maintained perfection. I played lots of matches with my team, my seniors, got to meet lots of India Cricket team members.

I just took an entrance examination conducted by the College and got selected for the course. This was a basic aptitude, knowledge and maths evaluation.

The curriculum was very good. I had Mathematics as my major and had Statistics, Accountancy and Computer Science as electives. Mathematics had the entire topics covered, whereas the other electives had majority portions been covered. In Accountancy, I did get knowledge on cost accounting, balance sheets, profit and loss accounts, income tax and other general accounting. In Statistics I had the curriculum covered with basics along with probabilities and other statistical analysis. I computer science, I did get programming languages like C, C++, Unix, VC++, VB, SQL, DOS, Windows, MS Office along with Access.

There was generally no internship opportunities, though we got few campus recruitment happening. I still know that few of my friends had internships with the College Management, one of Senior in fact worked with the College Office in Accounts and Operations department and later got opportunity to work for the University.

We got some companies coming in for campus recruitment. Starting from companies like TCS, HP in IT and ITES, we got Non IT companies like Eveready, HLL, P&G and Nestle also came in.

We had College level cultural along with the inter College festivals where our College has participated. We did regularly participate in Sarang which is held by IIT Madras.

The fee structure was definitely feasible and it was as per the Govt. norms. During my days, there were Colleges which would collect donations, however our College never collected donations and the fee structure was very nominal as per the Govt. norms and it was approximately 10K per year.

I am not sure about this and I have not availed any facility, though I know the Management had few options on scholarships.

I do not have any knowledge on the hostel as I did not stay in hostel. On gender inclusuvity, College had good contribution and there were always equal opportunities, there were no sexual discrimination. We had culturals within our College and had everyone participate and had equal contributions from most of the Students.

Though I have not tried the hostel facility, but I learnt from my colleagues that the facility was very good and the canteen facility and food was very good.

The Seniors were very helpful, unlike other Colleges, we had very little ragging and teasing. I have been connected with the College network and we alumni Students still continue to meet.

Exams were really hectic, though we enjoyed it. The labs were good and fully equipped. In comparison to the autonomous structure, our College was affiliated to the University of Madras and the exam structure was on par with the other Colleges and other Universities.

The faculties are very good, I had both regular and part time faculties, who spent maximum time with us to ensure the portions are covered completely. They went out of the classes to help us in getting our queries cleared.
