Course Curriculum Overview
My subject combination was Psychology, English, and Mathematics, where I was particularly interested in the subject psychology since it intrigued me. There are 1 faculty per subject i.e. 1 teacher for approximately 90 students and most of the faculty are NET-qualified professor though some guest faculty members are also there to deal with the curriculum subjects. The English department is particularly good and knows what they are teaching and how to shape a student's mindset and career. 1 year in NPGC consists of 2 semesters and in 1 semester total of 2 internals, 1 assignment, and 1 main external exam takes place. The test has an average difficulty but the exams are considerably difficult and long, hence one has to attend the classes to get a gist of what can be important for the examination.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees depends a lot on the subject combination you opt for i.e. lets' say you opt for statistics or maths which comes under science subject you have to pay a little higher fee than if you opt for arts subject like political science or psychology. A scholarship programme is introduced for those whose family's annual income is below 200000, have an attendance of 75%, and who have scored more than 50% in past 2 semesters.
Campus Life
The infrastructure is pretty small but the students and faculty are ever so welcoming and it won't take long before you become a part of the NPGC family. The library is a bit claustrophobic but a variety of options in the books is available and the staff is pretty helpful and friendly as well. Students can participate in NSS and NCC but they have to go to Lucknow University for their practice. Apart from all this, some programs are also conducted to raise social awareness or to give students an understanding of how life after graduation/ post-graduation works.
Admission
A student who wishes to apply for a Bachelor of Arts course in National PG College needs to have a score of a minimum of 45% in their 12th class and to apply a student must visit the college itself to complete the application procedure. The application fee for a student who wants to enroll in BA is 800/-. Once the application is submitted student can collect the application letter and appear in the entrance exam that considers 3 major sections: General Knowledge, Reasoning, and English Grammar. The exam itself is not very hard and self-preparation can help you get your desired subjects, the student who performed well and is on the top of the merit list gets into the regular courses, and the rest are put into the self-finance course where the difference between them is that self-finance students have to pay a slightly higher fee than the regular student. The online registration process can be a bit better since a person is unable to upload their documents on the website when trying to enroll in NPGC.
