Ques

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at Bharathiar University?

● Top Answer By Hamza Shabir on 04 Nov 22

Ans

Here are a few of the tips that can help students learn and start their first year at Bharathiar University with confidence: Maintaining your focus on your studies. The exams are a complete waste of time; whatever you write, you will pass, anyway. The teachers out there may have advanced degrees, but they will not teach you effectively. Continue to read books if you want to learn. The main advantage is that there is a good library with a large selection of books. So, before you go to BU, remember to learn rather than study. You only need to concentrate in class and you're good to go; no homework is required for grades except on exam days. Try publishing papers in international journals and participating in other college events to add weight to your resume in your final year.

Ques

How's the M.Sc. statistics at Bharathiar University?

● Top Answer By Harsha Jha, on 23 Nov 21

Ans

One of my friends studied at Bharathiar University (BU). According to him, if you can study on your own without the regular guidance of teachers, you can opt for BU. Here if you want to learn something, you have to do it for yourself, as the faculty members wont guide you step by step. BU has a huge library from which you can get the required study materials. So if you are someone who does not require a methodical guidance and can learn on your own, BU will be fine for you.
