Review of Department of Social Work, University of Lucknow

We attended so many conferences in campus and outside the campus all this because of management authorities.

The curriculum is groomed in such a way that while reading the theory we do the practical to implement and understand that theory. Institute designed the curriculum in a way that it provides classroom study for four days in a week and rest of two days student report to there fieldwork agencies basically NGO's alloted by the institute to implement what there read in theory. So this approach develop a better of understanding. Every student are alloted to work in a particular NGO for a semester after that NGO get changed.

Various Development organizations and NGO's comes for the placement like ICICI Foundation, Vatsalya Foundation, Vigyan Foundation, Miracle Feet etc. Generally recruitment is done in this steps first is merit based screening, then after a examination after that final stage is interview students with percentage above 60% gets placed mostly. Institute always encourage the students along with the merit to get more and more fieldwork knowledge because interviewer always check the ground fieldwork knowledge.

As we choose the social work so approximately every month we attend the seminar and conferences inside and outside the campus and can also present our paper in that seminar or confrence. Yearly there is open cultural event organized by the "sanskriti" department before the convocation.

Institute provide the proper transparency of fee-breakdown. At the time of admission the fee is paid through the POS at counseling center and after that fees can be paid through online banking. There is no additional fee charges that had to be paid to secure admission

There the state government scholarship that any one can avail who is living below poverty line. The scholarship is given to every college of state. Anyone want to avail this can fill the scholarship form online then after filling the form and attaching the documents like Aadhar card, Bank Passbook, Domicile certificate, Income certificate he/she has to submit it to DSW department of institute. After the verification of everything the scholarship is received in bank account directly.

Gender ratio of the institution is quite good in my course the ratio male and female was approximately 60:40 respectively. There is separate hostel for the foreign students but we all study together there is no discrimination on the basis of class, gender, ethnicity, race or economic status. Also, there is separate department named "Sanskriti" for cultural and extra co-curricular activities.

Most of our profeesors are the alumni of this institution. From the first day our seniors were so much supportive and guided us to understand the course. There was brotherhood between senior and junior. And no ragging.

I opted this course due to passion toward the social service and this prestigious institution is providing this course and make a student in profesional social worker even before the independence of India. There was online application form available on the website of institute in month of May to get admission. After that there was an written entrance exam on the performance in entrance student get there ranks after that on basis of seat availability admission is given.

The curriculum is designed for five papers in every semester and 4 days classroom programme apart from this the every faculty has responsibility of supervisor of certain number of students alloted to them for the supervision of fieldwork done by the students. Guidance in maintaining the records and research. All the faculty are highly qualified profeesionals posted by UGC.
