Up’s and Down’s of St.Teresa’s College

The B.Sc Nutrition and Dietetics curriculum at St.Teresa's College is comprehensive, focusing on practical applications and advanced topics . However more hands on experience and updated teaching methods could enhance learning. Exam frequency is reasonable, but some could be more challenging.

Only certain courses offer internship programs and one of the courses being ours has 2 internships one in 3rd semester and one in 6th semester. A report along with a power point presentation are to be submitted after completion of the internship. These internships as send by the college do not apply for any stipend .

The infrastructure is really bad . Not at all well made , no campus grounds as such. Not suitable for extracurricular activities. They conduct events in an auditorium. They have a really good huge library in the main block which is the arts block .

I have rented a pg which is 10 minutes away from the college it is not part of the college . The rooms are of 3-4 sharing and meal quality is average. Menu cycle is followed . It is affordable and much better than the college hostel .

I did not apply to other colleges , the admission process was held in a professional manner . It was very simple , judged accordingly to marks and based on religion. I did not get rejected from other colleges as i didn't apply for them
