my not so average , average college

Admission:

It was basically merit-based admission on the basis of the 12th result. The college had all the facilities and all the data was online so we can get the form online, fee submission on online mode, and all other kinds of updates from the university website as well. Since it was a govt. College, we had the reservation according to the national policies and all were followed thoroughly. the only defect oi think they had was, even after everything was online mode, the students had to submit a hard copy of everything as proof. The staff was not very used to all the technology and hence they required a hardcopy of all the proof they had in their online database.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose it because it was the best option available and I don't regret it. the faculty-student ratio was really less. especially in the art department. even though the faculty was knowledgeable, I think the university can work on its management team. The exams were not too tough as the pattern was repeated all the time,

A Well-Rounded Academic Experience with Room for Improvement

The admission process for my course was based on boards marks. Appearent needed to have secured a minimum of 45% marks in aggregate for general category and 40% marks in aggregate for SC/ST category in order to be eligible. The application form was available online, along with the application fees and dates which could be availed from University website or on-site campus . Reservation benefits were also available if applicable. I think there should be more awareness about the admission process so that students from all backgrounds can apply to their desired courses without any hindrance or difficulty.

I found the law course curriculum to be quite comprehensive and well-structured. It covered a wide range of legal topics, from contract law to criminal law, and provided a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. The faculty members were also very knowledgeable and experienced, and they brought a lot of real-world expertise to the classroom. Pros: Comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of legal topics Faculty members who are knowledgeable and experienced Practical focus that emphasizes real-world legal issues Cons: Some of the readings and assignments could be quite dense and time-consuming The workload can be quite heavy at times, which can be challenging for some students I chose this course because I have always been interested in the law and the legal system. I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how the law works, and how it can be used to protect people's rights and interests.

The eligibility criteria for taking admission in dsb campus is to complete 10+2 with humanities I have no reservations application forms are available on the websites of Kumaon University and application dates are also available on the websites we have to move from one place to another for admission.

Because I have an interest in humanities subjects and there is also good faculty of BA the student ratio you have to score above 80percentage in humanities subjects and teachers are also so cooperative and the teaching style is good there is a semester-wise examination pattern the exam level was also hard not too easy.
