Glimpse of Shri Pratap college, Srinagar

Shri Pratap collage, popularly known by the name of SP collage, is one of the leading collages of Jammu and Kashmir. I applied for neet but didn't get selected, so I went to SP college to seek higher education. Students can get admission based on the 12th mark. I choose BSC as I had good marks in the 12th exam. There is no entrance or else. Only we have to go and seek admission on the 12th pass out discharge certificate.

I choose the B.Sc course because I had a good interest in medical studies. Faculty members are very supportive and have teaching experience of 7 to 8 years. There are about 20 teachers in our class which mean about 15 students per teacher. Teachers make students understand in the best ways. Students are trained to the extent that they can go and make fortunes everywhere. Term exams held two times every year. The difficulty is moderate pass percentage is above 50%.

Many companies offer jobs to the students, the companies which most often visit our college are ITI Srinagar, Adidev herbals, Udaan, ibn Sina hospital etc. Students are employed based on the course of their study.

The campus is allotted for PhD students for their research works. In my course a lot of students got internships. Many national and international companies often offer various programs offering students a job opportunities. Companies on average give above 20000 packages to students. About 40% of students get govt jobs. I want to study further and apply for the teacher post.

The fee for our college is relatively lower and we feel better when it comes to submitting semester fees. But recently we saw a bit hike in tuition fee which is somewhat worrying. In my course, a lot of scholarships are given and I myself get sufficient scholarships. Many students also get it to a Govt job and make their fortunes.

The infrastructure in SP college is well equipped. Hostels are well aerated and have rooms, the college has some digital classrooms, several well-maintained libraries and labs. But the hostel lacks in providing students pure water and also no wifi is offered. Although, the quality of mess and food is somewhat good as compared to other colleges. We have a social group namely, "Self Help And Rise" which help the needy and orphan students.

The college has separate hostels for boys and girls. We got a good room with many roofs and windows. Room has fans and lights are well installed. Mess is upto the mark and the food offerred is also good. Hostel forms are to be submitted at the time of registration and a fee of 11000 rupees is to paid. Also nearby we can get many rented rooms if someone is unable to reside in collage hostel.

We were 310 students in our class. All the students are divided into various groups and topics for discussion are related to exams, hostel problems and study related. During the admission process, some students sit in groups to discuss the various criteria and feasibility for better and beneficial scopes. I also participate in these discussions and make a great impact.
