My college memories

Physics honors as I was very much interested in the subject. College was very renowned at that time, particularly, for its physics department with excellent faculty support and I was admitted directly depending on my performance in class12. I had to fill up the relative application form and thereafter, after a few days, I was selected by the merit list.

Excellent faculty support. It was 3 years course and every day there were 5 sessions. A good degree of knowledge was imparted through classroom teaching. Extra classes were also organized to clear any doubt and also to train comparatively poor students. After the class was over, tests were taken on a number of days to test the penetration of knowledge. Lectures were very relevant in those days. Professors were very learned in their respective subjects overall, we were very much enriched with knowledge of the subject.

Feasible. There were scholarship facilities for meritorious students. Mode of payment was in cash/cheques/drafts etc. over the counter. At that time, there was no online payment system. No additional charge was levied for admission to college. There was 100% transparency in the fee breakdown. The scholarship was awarded depending on performance in exams. Exams scoring in 12 class and weekly, quarterly tests were the criteria for eligibility of scholarship. Rs.5000 annually.

Every year there was a sports competition among the students. The gender ratio was 2:1(male: female). Extracurricular activities in the form of debates, sports, cultural programs were organized every year. There were special programs on the anniversary date of the college. Workshops on subjects were also organized. Quote contests on science/ economics/ history/ geography/ general knowledge were being organized.
