My 2 year Msc Journey in Jogomaya Devi College

I have done Bsc in Botany with 72% marks Vijaygarh Jyotish Roy college then I applied here in M.sc in Botany in Jogmaya Devi College for M.sc. Here the eligibility for this course is you have to pass your graduation in Botany honors with a minimum of 45% marks. Then you can apply here. But the competition is very high so you need a minimum of 60% marks to pursue M.sc here. In my case, I got 72% in Bsc so I got admitted here easily. Here no entrance exam was taken. Everything is based on the merit list. One thing is that this college is only for girls. So you have to be a girl to be eligible here. You will find the application form on the college website www.jogomayadevicollege.ac.in. The admission fee is Rs 23000 which is comparatively high. Yes, there is reservation seats available for minority & other's university candidate.

I want to be a professor in Botany so I did choose Msc and I have to pursue Ph.D. to be a professor. In our college botany seats for postgraduate student is very limited. We had around 22 students and we had 5 professors of botany. So our student-faculty ratio was very good. It is 4-5 students for one professor. Our professors were very much educated and were willing to teach us deeply. They took both online classes and offline practical classes. They were very open-minded and used to do interactive PowerPoint presentations in the classes. We had four semesters. And in every semester we had to pass all the papers. However, there is an internal assessment test before every semester

The cost of study here is a little bit high if we compare it to others colleges. The admission fee is Rs 23,000. Then for the second semester, the fee was around Rs 18,000. Then for the third semester, the fee is Rs 22,000. And for the fourth semester, the fee will be around Rs18k-20k. So the total cost to study is 80,000 which is very high for a general college. The fee structure increases every year. However, some scholarship is available for the students. The SVMCM scholarship is for students whose family income is less than 2.5L/Year and who got 53% of the marks. Kanyashree is available for girls and there is OASIS & many other private scholarships.

We did not have any chance to celebrate cultural programs as most of our class was online. But in our college every year some cultural programs were organized and many of the students participate in dancing, singing, recitation, etc. There is also festivals like Saraswati puja, Teacher's Day, Independence Day, Fresher's Party, etc. Our library is very big and has all kinds of books available. I have got all our Botany books for PG from the library. It is very silent and clean & best environment for long studies. We have some indoor sports programs like table tennis
