Pros and Cons of Sree Narayana College, Chathannoor

Sree Narayana College, Chathannoor is one of the only colleges in the village of Meenad. Year by year new courses are added to its line up and collaborations with various departments are done to increase students' knowledge in various disciplines. It provides quality education with experienced and knowledgeable faculty. The admissions process starts in June-July. Applications are to be submitted online to Kerala University. Applicants coming under community and management quota are to go to the college during their prescribed time for admissions. Classes start at the beginning of July. The college provides a good atmosphere for academics and networking and has a well-equipped library. For more information, visit their website.

The course is rich and packed and relies heavily on books. There are about 5-7 faculties for each department. Most members of the faculty are PhD graduates and are well qualified for passing the NET examination. Lectures and notes are provided and classes are hugely inclined to be in Malayalam but stress is given to English. Term exams are dependent on the timings of university examinations and they have just the right level of difficulty. Stress is put on solving past papers which help in examinations.

There's no campus placement offered. But students can take up examinations which may help them get employed or get into higher education soon after graduation. Most examinations can be attempted during the last year of studies while there are also some examinations only relying on age qualifications. Such examinations can be attempted at any time as per age requirements. I'm planning to attempt UPSC examinations after graduation while doing my M. A and a certificate course. The college provides a good incentive for students trying to get into the government sector after graduation.

The college provides one of the most affordable but good quality education. In each semester, a fee of Rs 400-550 is incurred. A fee of about Rs 100 is also incurred as an examination fee. Numerous scholarships are provided to financially weaker students by the government. E-grant is one of the most popular of them which covers the full fee. Scholarships for a single girl child and others as per your annual income is also provided. Aid is also given for transportation costs incurred from KSRTC. Students can avail these scholarships after their admissions. Students can also find part-time jobs to help with their academic costs.
