Remarks
M.A from a technical institute was a difficult decision since I had no idea about the faculty, curriculum or the opportunities. Entrance exam, academics, interview were the criterias in which a student has to excel to secure admission in the course. Admission fee is Rs. 4000. Form filling and submission part is to be done online entirely. The admission process went really smoothly without any problems. Application fee is Rs. 300.
Course Curriculum Overview
The program is focused on the aspects like understanding intersections between disciplines. Students are trained to understand social and political context around them. Access to journals was of main help for me to study the subjects and the concepts more clearly and with more understanding. Teaching methods mainly consisted of the case studies and some real life examples from which a lot could be learnt.
Placement Experience
Students belonging to the M.A course have very less placement opportunities here. Most of them go for teaching jobs in further colleges and universities. In general, the highest CTC last year went to Rs. 40 LPA. Participating recruiters were Syntel, Valuefy, Birlasoft, GlobalLogic, Lava, Zia Semiconductor, Adverb, Cipla, Tata Motors, Compro, Anglo Eastern, FreeScale, TCS, Shapoorji Palonji, Henkel, NewGen .
Fees and Financial Aid
Rs. 88000 is a normal amount according to me for a course in an IIT. Merit-cum-Means (MCM) Scholarship of INR 1000/- P.M to students who are meritorious but come from an economically weak background. An allowance of INR 250 is awarded to all SC/ ST students whose parent's annual income is not more than INR 4,50,000. Some of the other scholarships are Shri Onkar prasad Tandon Scholarship, Amalthea Scholarships, Lalita J Shah & Jayantilal B Shah Scholarship, P.K. Kelkar Scholarship, Sri Temasek@IIT Gandhinagar Scholarship, Satyaram Scholarships, Prof. M H Divekar Scholarship, S.C. Mehrotra’s Scholarship, Chandrakant and Patricia Desai Scholarship.
Campus Life
Blithchron, the two-day cultural festival, Amalthea is the annual technical summit, Hallabol is an all-night intra-institute sports Festival, Ignite an Intra Institute fest, Jashn, an intra-institute cultural fest, and the list goes on and on while talking about the fun filled events of the campus. I participated/ attended every event and had lots of fun. My confidence also boosted a lot because of these events.
