Life at CUK

I choose literature because of my passion and the scope of the field. In our batch there are only 5 students so the student ratio is not that ideal but its fine. The faculty are qualified enough, some of them teach really nicely and some don't but its still much better than state universities. The exams are not difficult to pass but they are difficult to score high.

The internships in psychology come from Nimhans, various other government hospitals, colleges with psychology departments, Malabar, Mahendra and Mahendra, IIT Ranchi, etc. In the English department we get opportunities to work at christ university, azim premji university etc.

The fee structure is kind of affordable but the cost of living is a bit costly. There are many scholarships which are really helpful. Many alumni also have come here to teach. Campus placements are good too but not that great

Ankur is the annual university-level fest in which all schools participate. It goes on for a month, with almost all activities possible, cultural, academic, and sports. The library is the best place in the university, with over 75000 books, a good place to rest, sit, and study with good wifi connections. Classes have good quality benches, AC and fans, smart boards, and some with projectors too. There is a green club too.

Hostels are still being built, there are currently 4 hostels for boys and girls each. The rooms in the Narmada hostel are spacious but too crowded with people. Common bathrooms make it a little hectic. The food is ample and good.

The eligibility for this course was 12th class pass with 45% and the entrance test was just a general test which consists of general knowledge and aptitude along with science and maths. Here the combinations were already set for us, there was no autonomy in choosing which subjects we want despite having NEP. And since the eligibility was of just a general test, which is more from a science background, students from science streams were able to score more than students from the arts stream, hence, now in my class of 31 students, only 5 have chosen English and others have chosen psychology. A class with only 5 students is not a good batch for the students or the department.
