Review of Ashoka University From a Freshman Perspective
Likes
- The faculty is top-notch, they are not only all from good institutions and have relevant backgrounds but all of them are also very approachable and friendly, most of them talk to students in a very frank manner and treat them good.
- Because of the highly selective admission process, the crowd is really good and I come across some very bright minds in the student body. Everyone here can learn a lot from everyone.
- The demands and concerns of the student body is heard and acted upon by the administration properly.
Dislikes
- The mess food sometimes can be a bit better in taste.
- Some courses get a bit too rigorous at times.
Remarks :
The main reason for me choosing this college was its different pedagogy than other Indian Colleges. Ashoka University is a liberal arts college which means the students can choose what they want to study and choose their trajectory. I had to submit the application form which included two essays, and other things about my profile like extra curriculars, etc. After that, I got the call for a written test, which included an aptitude test and an on-the-spot essay. Post this, I got a call for an interview, after which I was offered admission to this university, so there is an overall holistic approach rather than a solely merit-based one. SAT scores are also accepted, and in that case, the better of the two is considered. Because of the holistic admission process, there is no cut-off as such. Talking to seniors on LinkedIn helped me a lot in preparing for all of this.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I am majoring in Computer Science, but apart from the CS courses, I have to take 9 mandatory Foundation Courses (FC). These FCs are supposed to give the students exposure to every field before they declare their major, and I chose Computer Science. The faculty is from renowned institutions like MIT, IITD, IITKGP, etc. and the teaching method is also a bit different; the classes are very interactive, in a way that it feels like a conversation between the instructor and the students. Exams are held throughout the semester and not just in the middle or the end, so the students have to study all the way and just studying one day before the exam would not fetch you very good grades. The difficulty level of these exams is generally on the higher side but the grading of most of these courses is relative so it's not unfair in any way. The cost is also on the higher level but there are numerous scholarships and financial aid available as well to make sure things are accessible to all.
Internships Opportunities :
Students go for internships with various companies and some students work inside the university as well either under a professor or under a center of the university like ACWB, CSGS, etc. After my first year, I was lucky enough to secure an internship under a CS professor for this summer and I will start working soon.
Placement Experience :
Companies like EY, Deloitte, and Accenture visit Ashoka University every year to recruit from the graduating student body. You need to complete the 9 FCs all the major/minor courses and the required number of credits before you can graduate from here. Many students go for higher studies instead of sitting in the placements and I hear a lot of people going to Ivy Leagues as well. I plan on going to a good grad school abroad after graduating from Ashoka University and continuing my higher studies.
Campus Life :
Ashoka University is a residential university meaning that all the students have to live on campus during their study. All the students live in 5 Residence Halls (RH), every room has two occupants and has centralized air conditioning. There are two bathrooms and two pantries on every floor. The social life at Ashoka is quite happening because fests are organized by the administration as well as various student-led clubs as well. Equilibrium, WiCSCon, and Banjaara to name a few. When no fests are happening, there will be movie screenings, stalls, and many more similar arrangements happening every day. EconSoc, WiCS, Hallyu, Abhinaya, and EESHTO are some student-led clubs and academic societies that are active at Ashoka University. There is a 3-floor building that serves messy food, the food does not taste bad and the variety is huge, so everyone finds something that they like from the available options. There is only one type of hostel and it is the same for all students.
