hey what courses are your studying? i’m aware ashoka university is well known for its art and humanities courses but do you think pursing biology at this university would be a similar experience! in terms of faculty and quality of education? is the biology faculty worth it?
great question! i've heard amazing things about the bio department here - some of my friends are bio majors and they're really happy with the pace and quality of work they're given. i also think the "ashoka is good at arts" trope is untrue in that while the ecofin/CS/bio/phys departments don't have as much international faculty, the work we're made to do is really thoughtful, engaging material. the "liberal arts" part of ashoka has less to do with actual humanities degrees (although those are wonderful) and more with the way we're taught. the emphasis is on writing your own papers, doing field research, and getting a really thorough foundation in the subject of your choice. we graduate with BSc. Hons degrees because ashoka's science programmes are so rigorous - i would say that comparing medicine in india to bio at ashoka is very different, but if you're sure you want a bio major specifically, i'd highly encourage you to learn more about the program here!
@@nityanair934 hey there, will you please help me a little, I checked the placements at Ashoka and the average is 8 lpa which equates to about 30-40k in hand per month after removing tax and benefits. Do you think it'll be worth it? The fees is quite high I mean, i...I want to study computer science there. Please help. Sorry if it sounds rude in any way and thanks for reading it regardless.
Hello. I’m going to move in as a first year student in a few days, and if you don’t mind me asking, I’d just like to know how the Physics department is. While I had good traditional options like DU and BHU, I chose to go with Ashoka because I am also interested in a lot of different things like History and IR. I didn’t get too much financial aid and the fee is very high; so is it worth it? I would like to pursue a masters in Physics abroad, in some of the best colleges in the world(hopefully)so, I’d like to know if Ashoka is a good platform for that.
So, I did decide to stay on at Ashoka. The guilt of spending so much money does cause a lot of anguish, but I would say the curriculum and professors in Physics are much better than those in the traditional options. I have friends in the colleges I’ve spoken of, and all I’ve heard them do is complain, whereas I don’t really have much to complain about in terms of academics. If you are thinking of coming here, I would say it’s your call. It is expensive and there are other very strong factors that could discourage you from joining. But academics-wise, it is perhaps one of the best in India.
@@V-q8is If you don't mind, I have 2 questions that I want to ask: 1. What was the admissions process like, especially the financial aid? 2. How is the curriculum and college life?
Please please reply Hi di heard about this university just now and don't have any much info want to prepare for upsc and someone recommended me this ki if u want to clear go in this there's no need to go anywhere just go there u also don't need coaching is it true M from arts background
I think Ashoka's an excellent place to go if you want to prepare for UPSC, but you will absolutely need preparation! The quality of education won't override any need for exam specific preparation.
it's literally the best in India for liberal arts and competes with international unis too bud tf you on literally search it up 😭 also most of India has colleges that solely look at marks and the majority of the population things lesser marks = dumber so ashoka doesn't give as much importance to marks even so everyone is insanely intelligent and well rounded in extra curriculars there so 👍
@@siddhichandra1035 I'm pretty biased, but I have to agree with the other comment - It's a world class education and has insanely qualified faculty. I think the quality of learning is much higher than at DU, but the brand name of the college isn't nearly as strong because it's only 7 years old. For how young it is, I think Ashoka is doing exceptionally well for itself.
Given the way Jindal is building up its Law school (Globally ranked 70th as per the prestigious QS rankings), I would agree here. The other schools at Jindal are now reaping the benefits of it. Ashoka is doing great for itself, but is yet to crack any of the prestigious rankings (QS/Times Higher Education/NIRF). Jindal is already in the top 700 universities in the world (as per QS). they are going to debut in the NIRF and THE soon. So, yes, I would agree that at present Jindal is way more prestigious than Ashoka. Having said this, both Jindal and Ashoka have the potential to be the Ivey-leagues of India. Just like Boston is in the US (Harvard and MIT are housed there), Sonipat too can become that coveted city for India's higher education! More power to both Jindal and Ashoka. Brighter days ahead for India's higher education system.
