MY college,department and classroom


Creating and maintaining a positive learning environment in a classroom is most essential for the success of a student and I think the IT department of SRM engineering college has done a wonderful job in building up this unique platform for us. Being a third year student of this department I sincerely feel that the classroom environment and the kind of training given to us has really helped us to improve our self confidence towards facing the real world. We are provided with a true perspective view of how to practically implement our skills in reality. Apart from interesting lectures and interactive classroom sessions, with the joint efforts of our Head of Department and staffs, we get to attend an informative seminar or workshop by a renowned person, almost every week. Some of the topics which I would like to mention are the latest technologies in IT, Cyber crimes, Networking, Enterprise etc. This has indeed provided us with good exposure towards the corporate field and helped us to gain a good amount of knowledge.

One main advantage in the pattern of coaching which we students really appreciate is that, we are given a large amount of extra information out of our books but then a bit more of practical exposure and experience in what we learn might help to improve our stream of knowledge and course of thinking. It may be either through individual mini projects or hands on experience etc.

Coming into the main picture of a classroom, we are provided with the best staffs, who not only strain to instill some kind of stuff into us but care for us as an individual. They look into our personal well-being and give us full freedom to approach them not as lecturers but as good friends in times of need. All teachers have rules and procedures but effective classroom managers decide in advance how they want their students to behave. Be a motivator! Yes that’s exactly what our staffs try to incorporate in us. It’s some kind of magic that they bestow on us. They ensure full discipline and as well make the class interesting. After all, sharing space with a friend or stranger is a new experience for most students. In addition, college is a stressful time, and the stress of final exams, homesickness, financial problems, all those other issues can exacerbate problems, considering that most of the students here are from other states. But then these indifferences have not stayed long as the track of our thoughts has been paved into a beautiful lane of innovations. I would proudly say that our classroom is the one where we people have really found out our true potential. It has indeed been a vital phase in kindling every individual’s personality as a whole.
