Review of Anant National University by a 2nd year interaction design student
Likes
- I really like the hostel buildings, they have lots of common spaces which are not viewed with the orthodox Indian views. Being allowed to live in Co-ed hostels is a wonderful experience which helps me grow as a person.
- The university has lots of clubs and activities which are offered to you other than your academics, whether these are plays, workshops, electives etc. The freedom which I have as a designer to be able to learn from other disciplines is very liberating to think about consciously.
Dislikes
- During the foundation year we were split into lots of sections with different professors heading us, there was a massive mismatch with different curriculums being taught to different sections and everyone being evaluated by external jurors based on some absolutist criterions which very few sections were actually taught about. There were also lots of biases within the jurors.
- The university shares it's campus with 2 other schools and a sports academy thus there are lots of restrictions on roaming around the campus and internal politics. The university is also trying to build a new academic block and a hostel and they're increasing the intake of students by a massive amount before these facilities are completed. This comes at the expense of us hostel students right now, since our living spaces have been turned into classrooms for the time being.
Remarks :
I came to know about this college through word of mouth. I was preparing for the NID-DAT exam in a coaching center, and my friends talked about Anant National University, its merits, and how it was a promising environment to nurture my design journey. The institution is relatively new as compared to other institutes thus the infrastructure is still being set up but it also allows the institute to incorporate new curriculums, new departments, and other stuff which I found to be very interesting. Finding such an environment in a higher education institute specifically in India is extremely rare. The Co-Ed hostels are also quite wonderful, the university has people from all over India and other parts of the world and everyone's very accepting and we are taken good care of. The admission accepted UCEED scores, they also had their own entrance exams and interviews. I was already preparing for NID so that benefited me a lot overall, it was an aptitude-type questions-focused paper.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I have always been interested in creative work, thus I wanted to pursue a career which I would truly enjoy which turned out to be design for me. I joined the college to pursue interaction design, the first year of the course is commonly known as the foundation year across institutes where we were taught basics of design, the design principles, color theory etc. Our curriculum for the first two semesters had a very multidisciplinary curriculum where we were introduced to different department focused curriculums, from second year onwards we have to pick our specialization. The examinations and assessments were mostly conducted in the form of projects, juries and assignments. The fees for both the hostel and the academics increases by 10% every year, the course itself is very material heavy thus a lot of your monthly budget would be spent on the materials itself. The university does offer Scholarships and Financial assistance however, there are quite a lot of students who opt for them.
Internships Opportunities :
I am looking for internships right now but I am currently focused on building my skillset first, however my peers have been freelancing a lot. The field promotes freelancing more than interning, they're working on animation projects, UIUX design, etc. Most of these jobs tend to come from private hiring, instead of from big companies since we are students, however, they compensate us well.
Placement Experience :
Most of our design seniors have been placed well in companies like Accenture, TCS, etc. Considering how diverse the fields are most of the graduates are doing well. Most students start doing freelance jobs from 3rd year onwards and they're doing well. The placement stats are available on the website itself. I would prefer a campus placement job after I finish my degree or I might consider pursuing a master's degree.
Campus Life :
The campus life is quite vibrant, we have multiple celebrations going on every month both small and big. Since the university is based out of Ahmedabad, Navratri is wonderful. We have a monthly edition of Daawat-e-Anant where we introduce the campus students to different cuisines from lesser-known parts of the country, cooked by the students and for the students. There are lots of clubs and sports facilities on the campus which are available, frisbee being one of the most well-known sports on the campus. The university provides funding and support for any clubs which one would like to learn, and would also be very much willing to support one financially via on-campus jobs. Overall, the university doesn't have a long history or culture of massive fests every year since it's relatively new, however living on campus is very pleasant.
Hostel Facilities :
The food quality is relatively better than other colleges, overall there's still room for improvement. The monthly menus are revised with the presence of student representatives. The hostels are subject to vacancy, we have 3 hostels right now, 2 being inside the campus and the third being right across the road. There's also a YourSpace PG at walking distance from the college which lots of students opt for. There is a 4th hostel building which will be completed within a month, there is also a faculty residence/guest house being constructed.
