mind and can have a gala time? That didn't happen, right! Once the boards are
over the real struggle starts then. What to do? Where to go? Which course to
choose? Which college to opt? These questions almost start haunting you. Even
the students who have all sorted out, struggle with one thing, and that is
selecting the right college. With the vast number of options available, it's
obvious to be confused in choosing the right college. This read will help you
with that. The article will be concentrating more on how to select the best
college amidst the top engineering colleges in Dehradun (as
engineering is the most sought for course). Still, these points can go for
almost every other course and area as well.
The value of a right college in life
is so profound that a wrong choice can influence your overall career.
Therefore, it is necessary to do thorough research prior to selecting a
college. There are a plethora of options available to pursue engineering in
Dehradun. But to choose the best amidst the rest engineering colleges in Dehradun here are a few factors which must be taken into
the record.
College Accreditation/ Affiliation
One of the most crucial tasks before
selecting a college must be to investigate whether it is approved by the
reputed regulatory body such as All India Council of Technical Education
(AICTE), National Board of Accreditation (NBA) or, National Assessment and
Accreditation Council (NAAC) or not. Also, check whether the UGC approves the
university it is affiliated with or not. Various other beneficial factors which
we will be discussing further are some of the benefits of accreditation.
Facilities and Amenities
Make sure that the college you are
opting for has state-of-art architecture. Determine if their clam of best
service is real. With that, it doesn't mean that college must have a
magnificent looking building. What it means is that whether a college has an
adequate measure of infrastructure according to its intake limit. Classroom,
administrative building, workshop, computer labs, auditorium, various other
laboratories etc. are counted under the excellent infrastructure. These are the
things which you will need during the running years of college, and the absence
of it can cause lethal damage in your learning process.
Faculty
Ever imagined the college without
teachers? Or even worse, ever imagined the college filled with teachers who are
not potent and established enough for the job? It is scary, right? Therefore,
before selecting a college, try to know if it possesses good teachers who along
with being good academicians also have experience of working in the field. So
that along with the theoretical knowledge they can also imbibe the practical
exposure in their teaching patters.
Student-Teacher Ratio
Apart from having an excellent faculty
ratio, the college must have an appropriate student-faculty ratio. Thus
according to the standards set by the Human Resource Development (HRD)
Ministry, all colleges must sustain a student-faculty ratio of 9:1. So, both
the teachers and students can have a balanced teaching-learning environment.
Therefore, before selecting a college, make sure to research more in-depth
about the teaching staff and the student-teacher ratio of the college.
Advanced Curriculum
Make sure the college follows an
updated and advanced course curriculum. Thus make sure that the course
curriculum of the subject is updated and well-revised as per the industry and
education industry standards. As the advanced curriculums offered by the
colleges not only provide students with the well-versed knowledge base to be
prepared for the upcoming trends and requirements but also helps in adding the
fun and relaxing element to the course through the help of the various
value-added courses.
Placements and Internship Offerings
Campus Placements is the most
significant factor while determining a college. Not that selection solely
depends on it, but let's face it placements are an essential factor in
selecting any college. Lastly, what matters the most is if you have an excellent
package in your hands after completion of the course. Thus, make sure to have a
look at the placement history/record of the college. And make sure not to judge
the placement based on the numbers presented by the college. But, judge it
based on the branch and company-wise placements. So keep all these things in
mind while picking a college.
Location
Will not say it is a significant
factor, but will definitely suggest selecting a good, pleasant and comfortable
place while choosing the college. As you will be spending three to four
important years of your life at that place, so it is essential that the location
be such where you do not get bored and can effortlessly and comfortably spend
the crucial years of your life.
Fees
Make sure to consider the charges as
one of the vital factors while selecting the college. Whether it is the
government college or be it the private make sure to determine that the fee
they are charging is worth the facilities, environment, opportunities and the
exposure you will be getting from it. There are various engineering
colleges in Dehradun out there that have low fees and decent
facilities. Therefore while keeping every other factor in mind also keep
calculating the prices as per the various factors offered.
These are the few features which a
right engineering college must possess and thus, one must consider these
factors while selecting the right college. If you are wondering how to consider
these, then here are the few ways to do so:
Research about the college on the
internet. Visit the college website it will help you know a lot about the
college. Search on various other sites which provide with the information,
testimonials and reviews of the college to know the real side of the college.
Talk, to the seniors or try to
interact with the existing students as no one can tell you better than the
people who have experienced the college itself.
Visit, the college campus personally
and judge all by yourself about the infrastructure, location and the facilities
of the college.
If you are still confused, you can
consult an educational or academic counsellor who will help you in your
selection process by guiding you in the right direction.
I hope the article will be helpful.
