The battle of PROGRAMME VS INSTITUTION or COURSE VS COLLEGE is an issue for every class XII pass out. With the level of competition prevailing in the education sector, each and every student is under pressure to set their priorities up to the mark.
Students shared their insights on how they feel about choosing course over the institution or vice versa.
The tasks become sometimes easier when you have an excellent aggregate. And it becomes really difficult when you don’t secure desired marks.
While pursuing course the priority of every aspirant should depend upon their interest.
The right decision can lead to success in the career. The student should take their decisions as per their strengths and weaknesses.
If a student can do certain subjects according to his/her interests, then it is always better to opt for the course accordingly.
The interest of the student really matters, forced decisions can create hurdles in one’s career. So choose wisely.
The student should be aware of his/her interest in what they want to do after school, what they want to become in life.
"I have always dreamt of going to the fancy college as it will give will boost up my personality traits and also it has various number of opportunities and also a lot of societies such as drama society, singing, dancing society and lot more even being a part of a pure traditional course I can do various interesting stuff which has always been my hobby but due to boards and study pressure I could not opt for any in a longer period of time," said BSc Chemistry Student from Ramjas
In the era of technology where the fad is towards the technological advancement and to create a digital world, the new generation is inclining towards the internet and wants to learn every bit online instead of opting the traditional way to join an institution or a college.
Thus the technology can play a major role in defining one’s personality or in making a decision.
Whereas, a good college lays the foundation for a student to be future ready. A good college provides an atmosphere where the students can prepare themselves not only academically but can also enhance their personalities.
Good colleges improve not only academically but enhances the skills such as communication, writing and more.
The course remains the same and sometimes become outdated.
But a good college offers a number of opportunities to do activities related to voluntary military training, social service, the environmental awareness programmes and many more.
It could be difficult for a student to differentiate the pros and cons of choosing college over the course or vice versa.
The student should not go after big brands or 'famous names' blindly, it's always better to reach out to the students who are currently studying in the particular college. and do not only pick one person to talk to try to talk to as many as you can.
Whereas Simran Hora from LSR studying Journalism has a different opinion on the topic "Though I am in a professional course in a known college thus I feel that I am in a win-win situation, I always wanted to do a professional course thus I got admitted in Journalism programme, For me the course is what just matters, if you know your goal and know basic steps towards it then you do not need a brand to flourish your steps thus going for course is what should matter rather than go for a fancy college and not knowing what to study".
The confusion of a student can be resolved by providing few counselling sessions and few orientation programmes. Students should also reach out to their teachers and career counsellors to make a decision.
also the alum of School of Open learning, DU shares "I never had an experience of college, I knew from the beginning I have to work and opted for distance learning in DU, right now I have a job and I am proud to say that I am having immense of knowledge regarding my job, for me course and college both have an equal pros and corns but what you need to have a clarity is on how you going to achieve the desired goal."

In this era, students have plenty of facilities to reach out to in terms of career planning, counselling and much more.
Students should reach out to them in order to be sure or confident about their decision they have made or in a way to make any decision.
