Are you sure about Choosing the Best University in Kolkata for your Graduation?
Now that I’m done with my
graduation from one of the best universities of Kolkata named the Sister
Nivedita University, I’d like to share my experiences of choosing one such
university. The foremost challenge of the process of a university application is
deciding the university where you’ll apply.
While these days, it is
certainly possible to select your universities in a random process, you can
also spend several months deciding on the best options. Either way, when
you’re looking for the best university in Kolkata, you’d need help. Here are few things to keep in mind.
ü
Ensure choosing the right subject
The key lies in being
120% sure about the subject that you want to choose. Since you’ll be spending
the next 3-6 years studying that same subject and working for the next 50 years
on that subject, you should be watchful about it. In case you think you have
doubts about the subject to choose, read as much as you can on it. Check online
for job options, course contents, and expected salaries. I did my homework right
and Google was my best friend during that phase of my life.
ü
Analyze the university rankings
As soon as I began to
search for universities, I checked the major ranking tables and computed the
averages. There are some that will offer you general rankings and others will
have different tables for every subject. When I chose, the most vital
information for me was the ratio between the students and staff. The lower is
the ratio, the better. When you are in smaller classes, you get to ask more
questions and gain more attention.
ü
Find out how the university library looks
For graduation students,
one of the most vital things in the library. During graduation, you have to
spend a certain amount of your life inside the library and hence this place
should be checked before admission. One more good point to check is whether or
not there is a 24/7 cafe where the night owls and early birds can spend their
time.
ü
Check on the content of the course
How are you supposed to
check on the content of the course? Well, that is possible by checking on the
university website. In case you find an area that interests you particularly,
check if the university offers that on its list of subjects. On the other hand,
you can contact the university and ask the details and make them answer your
questions.
ü
Know more about student accommodation
When you’re starting a
university, regardless of whether you’ll be leaving your family or not, you
should always check the accommodation facilities of the college. Hence, you should make sure that the
accommodation you live in is friendly and nice. This should be a place that you
can call ‘home’ as you’ll be spending enough time there. I learned how to cook,
how to wash my clothes, and how to clean the kitchen before I thought of booking
my university accommodation. You needn’t worry about the floor-mates and
flat-mates.
ü
See what societies and sports are offered by the
university
Are you involved in any
type of sports like football or cricket? Or are you someone who loves playing
poker? If answered yes, you have to watch out for clubs and societies in the
university to ensure there’s something that can match your preferences. The majority of the universities these days offer the largest variety of extra-curricular
activities and it is vital to check these too. You can’t forget that university
life is only about studying.
So, now that you’re sure about the ways in which you may choose a university, don’t make a mistake as to how you should select the most appropriate one for your needs.
