Review of Pt. Prithi Nath College, Kanpur

The curriculum for B.A. is very well detailed. Any students who chooses to study the same and read the recommended books and attend college lectures will gain a sufficient understanding on par with top central universities. Exams are held on a per semester basis every 6 months. CSJMU University, as of June 2024, has a odd-even semester system with subjective exams in the former and objective exams in the latter. ODD Sem starts from ~June-July. Very practical curriculum and test system.

Complete cost of education is within 2800-3700 per year, one of the lowest in Kanpur Nagar. Tuition fee increased policy I am unaware of, as such. There are many scholarships like National Scholarship, UP Scholarship, Kanya Sumangla scholarship, CSIR Scholarship... Please visit college website for the same. I have not undertaken any campus responsibility as of yet, though the college organises many competitions.

There is an annual festival called Spandan, usually held in April. There are many technical conferences and assembly. Classrooms are equipped with blackboards and fans (subject to change, eventually with better facilities coming soon). There is a separate course for P.ed and students can opt for the same in B.A. as vocational course or minor course, as well. There are no student run clubs but there is a healthy social atmosphere with no ragging and discipline.

Eligibility of the course is 10+2 with any stream. Minimum 45% marks in 10+2. Have to submit an anti-ragging affidavit. Have to submit year gap affidavit if student has taken year gap (up to 2 year gap is permitted). M.A. can be done only in the subject studied in last year. Can change the minor subject in 2nd year. Find everything on the college website. Admission is held in the time of June-July which is the hottest months of the year so take precautions regarding health.

The faculty to student ratios is 1:40 though a low student attendance typically makes it 1:10 in most subjects, except English and some others, like political science. Most faculty members are doctorate holders and assistant professors or above. Very easy to interact with the faculty.
