Faculty:
1. Course Curriculum - Difficulty Level:
The curriculum is moderately difficult, balancing theoretical knowledge and practical applications. While the subjects are manageable if you stay consistent, students do fail in exams, especially in subjects like Mathematics, Data Structures, or core engineering subjects where the concepts can be challenging. Passing isn’t that tough, but excelling requires effort, especially since many subjects rely on rote learning rather than deep conceptual understanding.
2. Good and Bad Aspects of the Course:
Good Aspects: The curriculum offers a solid foundation in core subjects. For engineering students, courses like Computer Science or Electronics are well-structured.
Practical Labs: They provide hands-on experience, which is crucial in fields like engineering.
Bad Aspects: Outdated Syllabus: Some parts of the syllabus haven’t been updated for years, especially when it comes to new industry trends and emerging technologies.
Lack of Practical Exposure: Though labs are present, they often feel disconnected from real-world applications, and the practical exposure could be improved.
3. Exams per Year:
There are typically 2 major exams per year, known as the End Semester Exams (for both odd and even semesters). In addition, there are mid-term exams (internal assessments) and regular assignments/projects that contribute to your final score.
4. Class Schedule and Free Time:
Classes per Day: Generally, there are 4 to 6 classes a day, each lasting about 1 hour.
Timings: Classes usually start at 9 AM and can go up to 4 or 5 PM, depending on your schedule and lab sessions.
Free Time: After classes, students have a decent amount of free time in the evening, though this may vary based on assignments, projects, or exam preparation. Weekends are usually free unless there are extra classes or workshops.
5. Teaching Methodology:
The teaching style varies greatly depending on the faculty. Some professors rely heavily on PowerPoint presentations and dictate notes, while others engage students with interactive sessions and practical examples. Unfortunately, many faculty members focus more on theory than practical application, which can be frustrating for students who prefer hands-on learning.
6. Admired Faculty Members:
Prof. S.K. Sharma (Mathematics): He was one of the most engaging teachers, simplifying complex concepts in an easily digestible way.
Prof. Anil Gupta (Electronics): His passion for the subject and ability to relate theory to real-world scenarios made him stand out.
8. Mandatory Attendance Rule:
Yes, there’s a mandatory attendance rule. Students are required to maintain at least 75% attendance in each subject. If you fall below the required attendance, you could be barred from taking the end-semester exams, which is a serious issue. However, in practice, some leniency is shown, and students with 60-70% attendance are often let off with warnings or additional assignments. But I’ve seen people being denied exam entry due to low attendance, especially if they repeatedly flout the rule.
