What is wrong with C.U. (University of Calcutta)?

Posted by Allan on 01:52 with No comments
This is the very first question that comes to the mind of any C.U. student. This is followed by long list of questionnaire, questioning each and every aspect of the glorious institution. They seek to find out -why the university can’t pass them with flying colours. They want to know a lot of unanswered questions regarding the administration and working of university which seems to be bent upon destroying the careers of millions.

This prestigious university was established on 24th January 1857. By foundation date, it is the first institution in South Asia to be established as a multidisciplinary and secular Western style university. Within India it is recognized as a Five Star University and a Centre with Potential for Excellence by the University Grants Commission and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council. And it had given three Nobel laureates: Rabindra Nath Tagore, C. V. Raman and Amartya Sen.  Will it ever do such a thing as said earlier!

Road to Success
First of all the students has to face the fact that they are studying at a university level. It is widely different from the way it’s taught at the school level. Here you are expected to write answers with complete dedication and focus, while at school you could easily get marks by writing few relevant points. 


The following are the points where a student should focus:

1. Punctual: The student should be punctual or should attend the classes regularly in the college.
2. Books: Buy all the books prescribed by the university.
3. Time table: Create a time table for studying i.e. make a distinction between studies and joyous life.
4. Guides: Students should not fall prey to guide books which are nothing but a worse synopsis of the subjects.
5. Question Papers: Go through the last years question papers and try to solve them in order to increase your confidence level.
6. Answers: Try to answers those questions and get it checked by your subject teacher. In this way you will get know your short comings.
7. Syllabus: Be acquainted with the present syllabus.
8. Leave Aside: Do not leave aside anything from the syllabus. Cover all the portions expect for the optional ones.
9. Suggestions: Again don’t fall prey to such things because no one knows really- what is going to come in university exams.
10. Confident: Be confident about yourself, do not lose hope at any point of time.
