compositions are on the subjects students specialize in. Once or twice a week a
student comes to his tutor, and for an hour or so, the teacher discusses with him
the merits and demerits of his work. An English student studies from 9 a.m. till 1
p.m. He attends lectures, works in the laboratories and with tutors. The rest of
his time is taken up by his independent work in the library, or by sports. Now,
especially in provincial universities they lay greater stress on lectures.
Exams are taken in written form (papers). The main stress is laid on
narrow specialization. If physics and mathematics are compulsory all the other
subjects are optional.
The course of study at the university is three years, at the medical and
some other faculties - 4 years. But lazy students may stay there for 5 years. They
get no degree or diploma but a certificate, so they do not graduate from the
university but finish it. They do the work at an ordinary level.
But if they want to graduate from the university they must do the work at
an advanced level. The academic year begins in October and lasts till July. In
three years if a student passes his exams successfully he gets a Bachelor’s
degree (Bachelor of Arts, B.A. or Bach. of Science, B.Sc.). He may have the
Honours Degree or the Ordinary Degree. For the O.D. a student passes ordinary
exams. For the H.D. he takes an intensive study, after it he may stay at the
university for one or two more years. He does some more studies to get his
Master of Science Degree (M.Sc.). To get this degree the student must pay for
exams. To become a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) one must write a thesis. After
it comes Doctor of Science Degree (D.Sc.).
