Choose An Autonomous College In Place of a Regular College

As you know, a new education policy has been introduced, and it is full of promises for students as well as allowing students to move towards autonomy. For the last 38 years, we have followed the trend of regular education, which means we are solely focused on rote memorization.

What is a regular college?

A regular college is a college that only focuses on book learning, including having a fixed syllabus that students need to cover on time.

Benefits of autonomous colleges:

All regular colleges are the same. They control everything, plus they don't allow students to study according to their preferences, and their syllabus is fixed.

  1. Regular colleges follow the method of rote memorization and use rigid teaching methods.
  2. Book learning is their mantra, and they don't focus on the overall growth of students.
  3. The main aim of regular colleges is to produce job seekers, not entrepreneurs.
  4. Regular colleges have more limitations than autonomous colleges.

So, you must choose your college carefully because it is going to decide your future.

I have wasted my 3 years of graduation at a regular college, and now their book learning is not helping me to fix my current problem.

And it's a truth that students from regular colleges have fewer chances of getting jobs because they don't have experience of real site situations. Also, they lack the courage to face the world.
