Expectations of after-school experience

Although the college is pretty well equipped and we'll be staffed, they lack a good library. The college library is very small and barely contains any material.

The course and exam structure are relevant in terms of professionalism. The year is divided into two semesters, which means that the students have to appear for a two-term examination each year. The curriculum is based on the regulations of Panjab University and includes all the vitals of each subject that a student requires to successfully work in the field.

As I am in the second year of my bachelor's degree, I haven't availed any internships yet but the college provides sufficient opportunities for the students. The on-campus placement cell handles the placement of the students.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology honors. The fee structure of this course ranges between 16000-18000 per year. The examination fee is charged by the University separately for every semester. The college hostel costs around 80000-100000 per year.
