Government College Chittur is pleasing to the eye with a beautiful large green campus.
Placements: A good number of students get recruited by companies, and the majority of students opt for PG after this. Our senior has been selected to do a course along with an internship at IIT Palakkad. There is still a major portion of students who stop here with this degree and go seek jobs elsewhere. Yearly, there are sessions conducted in the college to showcase the amazing possibilities in this field, with research being the best of it and the teaching profession being the most common among them. Many students have qualified for JRF and Net.
Infrastructure: Being a government college doesn't make this college less than any other college. It has its own huge infrastructure and proper facilities. Coming to physics, the department is one of the oldest and best in the college. It has a department library of its own, in addition to the college library, consisting of a large number of worthwhile books by both Indian and foreign authors for reference. The classes are spacious, well-chaired, with a good number of fans, big windows, etc. There are Wi-Fi labs, and college Wi-Fi is available in and around the college building premises. There is a canteen facility inside the campus. The quality of the food has never been an issue there, but there has never been any variety in the dishes served. Very rarely did we find any snacks and other drinks available there. It usually serves only meals, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The hostel facilities are not bad. They have enough room for students. The sanitary facilities are adequate. The hostel buildings are situated in a super green environment, which makes it a very happy place to dwell. The hostels, both men's and women's, are near to the academic building and yet separated from the buzz of the college. The quality and quantity of the food served here are also good. Sports are taken seriously in college, and students with a sports background are given priority admission in the sports quota. There are a number of sports being practiced in the college, some of them being cricket, badminton, tennis, football, swimming, judo, wrestling, etc. Judo and wrestling are some of those sports areas which have won the college the most number of medals and awards across many events/competitions. There is a big football ground. There is a good swimming pool, but it's not the original size. The length is much shorter than the ones used by professional swimmers. There is an open badminton court in between the academic buildings. Medical facilities are something that the college doesn't provide up to the mark. Only basic first aid is available here. Any serious injuries should be taken to the nearby health care center, which is around three kilometres away.
Faculty: Teachers who teach in government colleges are truly knowledgeable and well educated as they are recruited through such tough criteria and procedures. The teaching quality is good. There are good, determined teachers to teach any subject. The course here gives enough light on mechanics and thus surely plays a good role in making students industry-ready. The semester exams are the worst part of this college as it is under Calicut University. No exams are ever conducted on time. There is a lag for everything here when it comes to exams. One would probably be studying for the third semester when the first semester exams are announced. It would continue further until the last moment, when every pending exam would be raining over the students one after the other in a very short period of time. Publishing the results would make the former feel better. The results are published too late, and the improvement/supplementary exam options are available but late and lagging like the other exams.
Other: I chose this course because I am preparing for defence entrance exams, CDS and AFCAT, for which a degree is mandatory and there would be questions on mathematics. This made this option the best for me because it does provide for all three needs. The things I wish could be improved are surely the conductance of semester exams and the publishing of results. More extracurricular activities and festivals could be added. There are a good number of fests and other activities that take place within the college, which also include film promotion. Many film stars regularly visit the college for their promotions, which becomes a celebration time for students. The visits of their stars are always accompanied by various events, competitions, and celebrations that the college conducts. Scholarship is one main attraction. There are many scholarships available for students throughout the duration. The staff of the college makes real efforts to ensure that all the eligible students avail their scholarships, which is very much appreciable. The very reasonable fee charges and availability of many scholarships are surely one of the main positives of this college.
