About College
● Not an Engineering college It is an Autonomous college. ● Establishment Established in the yr 1973 and is affiliated to Berhmpur University, Berhmpur, ODISHA, INDIA. ● Location Located in the eastern part of India and in the southern part of Odisha(a state of India), Gunpur (below Tier 3 City), District - Rayagada, State - Odisha, Country - India, PIN - 765022. Near GIET(Gandhi Institute of Education and Technology), Gunpur. ● Departments (Arts, Science, Commerce in both +2 and +3) +2 means 11th & 12th Grade +3 means the Graduation period ● Total number of Teachers in college Maybe it is around 30+ teacher. (Disclaimer : I didn’t counted all the teachers, it is just a raw data. Data keeps changing every single month. As :- □ some teachers were applied for transfer and □ some gets retired, □ some were newly joined, □ some were constantly looking for some others higher Opportunities etc etc…. These were some of the factors for which the data keeps changing )
● Library Facilities
☆ Separate Libraries for +2 and +3 students. Which contains a large number of books with respect to different aspects like Programming, Music, Current Affairs, Sports, News Papers & Magazines, Comics, Science experiments related books, books related to the Course Materials etc. etc..
(Note : If I were to find / search about something then, mostly I rely on the internet.)
● Sports & Other curriculum activities
Annual Sports, Annual Function happens.
Preparations for Sports, Competitive events, Exhibitions etc. etc. to participate in various District level and State level Competitions.
Computer Science Scenario
● Started In the year 2019. And I’m currently in the 3rd batch of B.Sc Computer Science in my college. ☆ 1st batch (2019-2022) ☆ 2nd batch (2020 -2021) ☆ 3rd batch (2021-2022) = the batch were I’m in ● Total number of systems Total 50 Computers Sponsored by RUSA (RASHTRIYA UCHCHATAR SHIKSHA ABHIYAN) government. (Note : I don’t know the complete details of all the items sponsored by RUSA govt.) ☆ What is RUSA govt. ? Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan(RUSA) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), launched in 2013 aims at providing strategic funding to eligible state higher educational institutions. The central funding would be norm based and outcome dependent. The funding would flow from the central ministry through the state Govt./ Union Territories to the State Higher Education Councils before reaching the Identified Institution. The funding to states would be made on the basis of critical appraisal of State Higher Education Plans, which would describe each state’s strategy to address issues of equity, excess and excellence in higher education. (Note : I have copy pasted the Definition of RUSA govt. from education.gov.in website) ● Total number of STUDENTs ☆ There are approximately 48 students in our Departments (16 students in each class). ( I have no idea about the total number of students in the entire college including all departments.)
● Academic Part
☆ Semester
Every semester helds within every 6 month but, there is little bit variation due to the Covid19 Pandemic.
☆ Teachings
All Good.
☆ Practical
Happens on a regular basis.
☆ Peer Groups
Mostly Entertainment Oriented and very few were ambitious about some Great + Big things.
3. College Placement
☆ For Non Computer Science Students
◻︎ Consists of Streams like Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Botany, Zoology, Education, Economics, History, Political Science, Odia, English, IRPM (Industrial Relations and Personal Management).
◻︎ No placements offered
☆ For Computer Science Students
◻︎ No placements
(Note : There is no Placement Scope. Students mostly prefer to do some Higher Degrees like M.Sc or maybe Preparing for some Govt. or Private jobs after their GRADUATION)
4. Attendance
☆ It is around 70 - 75%.
☆ But, it is mostly not mandatory.
5. College fee
☆ For Non CS students
The fees Ranging from 4000 - 5000 INR i.e between 52 to 65 USD per year.
☆ For CS students
The fees is 9500 each year.
6. My class experience
☆ Me being a Newbie
□ To be honest, previously I didn’t have any course/ syllabus on Programming nor did I tried to learn Programming on my own.
□ College 1st year (2021-2022) is the only first time, I’m learning Programming.
☆ Teaching Faculty
□ As I don’t have any previous knowledge about Programming, I don’t know how to describe about the faculty.
□ Going to college, attending the classes and having fun with friends mostly takes 4-6 hours every single day.
And with time I got to realise that I’m more productive w.r.t. Online learning as compared to the Offline learning.
That is the reason, Usually I don’t go to college on a regular basis.
□ But, sometimes I go to college. And the way our teacher relates the concepts with the real life examples is Fantastic.
7. College life
□ Online Learning
I think maximum students rely on the Internet for their Queries, for clearing the Doubts/Concepts.
Special thanks to Kunal Kushwaha [ @[Kunal Kushwaha](@kunalk) ] & a huge shout-out to his DSA bootcamp which has increased my interest in Programming. Also, his techniques on how to study & practice Recursion, OOPS concepts helped me a lot. Now also I remembering his lines of Recursion,
“ Please, don’t be the person who quits the course while learn Recursion. Recursion is a topic which is meant to be confused. And it is only a matter of 1 or 2 weeks. After that everything will be good to go.”
Also, appreciating his “Learning in Public initiative”. “T & pie Shaped Learning”. “Learn while doing” suggestions.
Also, I would like to thank some Educational YouTubers for providing great contents + knowledge related to FINANCE, Stock market, Coding, Hustling Mindsets, etc etc.
□ Social Life
Maximum students try to play the “Status Game” like what were the things, bike, shoes, gadgets etc etc that a particular student is using. And based on that, it is decided that you are cool or not. So many students even try to SHOW_OFF their fake life in the Internet. Very very few students don’t fall into this trap. I’m glad that, I am not a follower of this “Status Game Trends”.
□ Other Stuffs
Students don’t realise how time passes while Chilling + Partying with friends and this might be one of the major factor for them to not realise the value of time.
(Note : I am not a person who is completely against these but, I’m pointing out this with a general perspective.)
★ Thank you for giving your valuable time in reading my experience & have a nice day.
