Course Curriculum Overview

5

I choose English literature because of my love for literature. There is no other reason. There are approx. 130 to 200 students in my course. Because there were 3 to 4 sections in English course. Teachers are good and have good command in their field. Every teacher I had during my graduation was helpful and kind. It was 3 years of full-time course divided into 6 semesters. Exams were moderate to hard depending upon how much a student has prepared. It was not hard to pass the exams. The questions came from previous years' papers and the topics which our teacher had already discussed in the class.

Placement Experience

4.5

Most probably students of the 5 and 6th semesters are eligible for placement. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, etc. Students received around 25 LPA to 30 LPA on average. Sometimes they get a 1 crore package from foreign companies. My plans after getting the degree are to look for a job related to my field.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees were moderate. Any middle class can afford to study at Banaras Hindu University. There was a sudden increase in the fees in the 2022 year. But it was not even that high. Recently Anne Besant fellowship is being provided to PG students who have completed their PG. This fellowship is given to those who have scored 8.5 cgpa in the 3rd semester. The benefit of this fellowship is that students who have completed their PG can get a direct chance to take admitted to Ph.D. They don't have to take any exams. Selection would be based on the interview. The stipend will be provided to those students who will clear the NET/JRF within one year after their admission.

Placement Experience:

The placement here at Sharda was too good. Students start attending the Placement interviews and calls from the last semester. I was personally made into 4 companies and 4 offer letters were offered to me. The average package is 3.8 lakhs per annum and highest was about 11 lakhs. There is 100% placement in every dept. but it depends on students if they want to attend or not. After getting the degree i studied for my PhD entrace and now i am working.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I wanted to become an English Professor, the course really helped me a lot in getting an insight into English Literature. The professors are very encouraging. The curriculum not only relies on the traditional method of teaching but also various co curricular activities are conducted to prepare the students for the real world. Each student is given an opportunity to prove herself. As the exams are conducted annually we get a lot of time to prepare accordingly.

Remarks:

Overall, I can say that my experience of the college for postgraduate degree is good as of now. Although the course is good, but, I would want more focus to be put on practical learning because after all, it is a practical subject. Other than that, I am content with the facilities provided by the college. I was very interested in the subject and love it personally, so it is a great experience for me.

In my opinion Aligarh Muslim University is best for all students, there are many rumors about the university but believe me they all are just fake, there is complete unity in students and no any case of racism, sexism and any discrimination.
