RJ Biotech established an educational foundation for my career by providing domain expertise in biotechnology (BS Biotech). RJ biotech provided excellent education, encouraged real-world experiences through workshops and internships and help (educational, financial, and intellectual) was always available when needed. RJ biotech teachers always took an extra step to help the students, through those additional Sunday lectures, clarifying doubts, extra practices and always being there to accelerate learning. I very much admire the cognitive environment and skill-development opportunities I received at RJ biotech and helped to accomplish my educational and professional goals and build stepping stones for my career as a scientist.

“११ वीला कला शाखेत प्रवेश घेतला आणि इथली कधी झाले ते कळलंच नाही. शिकणं, अभ्यास करणं अंगात भिनलं ते इथेच. नियमित सगळ्या विषयांचे होणारे तास आणि तळमळीने शिकवणारे शिक्षक ही माझ्या महाविद्यालयातली फार महत्त्वाची बाब मला आजही वाटते.  इथल्या सगळ्या आठवणी आजही मनात ताज्या आहेत, अनेक विषयांची लेक्चर्स आजही तशीच्या तशी स्मरणात आहेत. शिकण्यातली, तसंच कामातली तत्परता आणि सगळ्या गोष्टींकडे डोळसपणे पाहिलं पाहिजे ही मूल्य मला इथूनच मिळाली. या सगळ्याचा उपयोग मला आजही होतो आहे, हे सगळं वेगळं काढता न येण्याएवढं माझ्यात रुजलं आहे.”

         ‘रामनिरंजन झुनझुनवाला महाविद्यालय’ आणि त्यातला ‘मराठी विभाग’ ह्या माझ्या आयुष्यातल्या अतिशय महत्त्वाच्या गोष्टी आहेत. शालेय शिक्षण मराठी माध्यमातून पूर्ण केलेल्या माझ्यासारख्या विद्यार्थ्यांना ह्या महाविद्यालयाने खूप चांगल्या पद्धतीने घडवले आहे. इथे येऊन माझी इंग्रजी भाषा केवळ सुधारली असे नाही तर मी छान इंग्रजी बोलू लागले. इथले प्राध्यापक विद्यार्थ्यांशी ज्या पद्धतीने जुळवून घेतात ते बाकी कुठे घडत असेल असे वाटत नाही. महाविद्यालयीन पातळीवर वेगवेगळ्या प्रकारच्या स्पर्धा भरत असतात. तेव्हा प्राध्यापकांचा भर असतो की आपल्या विद्यार्थ्याने ह्या स्पर्धांमध्ये भाग घ्यावा व आपल्यातील सुप्त गुणांचा शोध घ्यावा. महाविद्यालयामध्ये असताना लक्षात आले की इथे अनेक प्रकारचे उपक्रम राबवले जात आहेत. स्पोर्ट्स, आर्ट्स, ते विज्ञान अशा सर्व शाखा अनेक प्रकारे सक्रीय आहेत. आणि ‘परीक्षेसाठीचा अभ्यास’ ह्या संकल्पनेपलीकडे जाऊन प्राध्यापक विद्यार्थ्यांना विषय  पटवून देत असतात  आणि अर्थात विद्यार्थ्यांना आपले करियर निवडण्यासाठी ह्याचा खूपच फायदा होतो.

   ‘मराठी वाड्मय मंडळा’ने तर मला एका नवीन जगाची ओळख करून दिली. साहित्याशी निगडीत अनेक उपक्रमांशी मी नकळत जोडले गेले. आणि माझ्या विचारांची बैठक पक्की झाली. आणि करियरच्या वाटासुद्धा सापडल्या. काही कारणांनिमित्त जेव्हा इतर शाखेच्या प्राध्यापकांशी संपर्क यायचा तेव्हा त्यांचेही पुरेपूर सहकार्य लाभले. कधीच निराशा झाली नाही. अशाप्रकारे ह्या महाविद्यालयानचा मला घडवण्यात मोलाचा वाटा आहे. एकूणच महाविद्यालयाचे उद्दिष्ट हे संपूर्णपणे विद्यार्थ्यांच्या विकासावरच केंद्रित असल्यामुळे इथे येणारा प्रत्येक विद्यार्थी काही ना काही शिदोरी घेऊनच बाहेर पडतो.

            २००५ साली रामनिरंजन झुनझुनवाला महाविद्यालयात मी प्रवेश घेतला.कला शाखेचा विद्यार्थी असल्याने मला नृत्य,अभिनय यासारख्या कलेत पारंगत होण्याची संधी मला महाविद्यालयामुळे मिळाली. महाविद्यालयीन व आंतरमहाविद्यालयीन वकृत्व, वादविवाद स्पर्धा यासह इतर स्पर्धेत सहभागी होऊन संवादाची क्षमता वाढविली.अंतिम वर्षात मराठी विषय घेऊन पदवी शिक्षण पूर्ण केले. खऱ्या अर्थाने येथून माझ्या आयुष्याला कलाटणी मिळाली. मराठी विभागाच्या प्रमुख डॉ. स्नेहा देऊस्कर मॅडम, डॉ.नीलांबरी कुलकर्णी मॅडम यांच्या योग्य मार्गदर्शनामुळे मी उच्चशिक्षित झालो. संज्ञापन व पत्रकारितेचा अभ्यासक्रम पूर्ण केल्यानंतर मी माध्यमात ६ ते ७ वर्ष काम केले. त्यानंतर एल.एल.बीचे शिक्षण पूर्ण केले आणि आज एका नामांकित मोठ्या ग्रुप समूहामध्ये विधी अधिकारी पदावर कार्यरत आहे.माझे आयुष्य घडण्यात रामनिरंजन झुनझुनवाला महाविद्यालयाचा फार  मोठा वाटा आहे.

जेव्हा केव्हा मला एखाद्या महाविद्यालयाजवळून जाण्याचा प्रसंग येतो, तेव्हा तेव्हा मला माझ्या महाविद्यालयाची, रामनिरंजन झुनझुनवाला महाविद्यालयाची आठवण येते, माझ्या स्मृती चाळविल्या जातात आणि मी क्षणभर भूतकाळात जातो किंवा मग भूतकाळ वर्तमानकाळात येतो. मला आठवतात तिथले प्राध्यापक आणि त्यांची शिकविण्याची पद्धत! परिसरातील जनसामान्यांमध्ये असा प्रवाद प्रचलित आहे की हे महाविद्यालय विज्ञान शाखेसाठी प्रसिद्ध आहे. पण मित्रांनो हे महाविद्यालय कला शाखेसाठी देखील प्रचलित आहे. मी आज जर आयुष्यात यशस्वी झालो असेन तर हे केवळ मला इथे मिळालेल्या शिक्षणामुळेच. मला या महाविद्यालयाकडून जे मिळाले आहे, त्याची शब्दात व्याख्या करता येणार नाही.

   महाविद्यालयाविषयीचा अनुभव एका वाक्यात सांगायचं तर "पुन्हा ते दिन येणे नाही" असंच मी म्हणेन. मी खरोखरीच स्वतः ला भाग्यवान समजतो की मला असं कॉलेज, उत्कृष्ट शिक्षकवृंद गुरु स्थानी लाभले. केवळ अभ्यासक्रमाच्या गोष्टी शिकवणारी अनेक महाविद्यालय आहेत. पण जगणं आणि त्याही पलीकडे एक उत्तम माणूस, सुजाण नागरिक म्हणून कसं जगावं हे मला इथल्या माझ्या शिक्षकांनी शिकवलं. शालेय जीवनात आपल्याला फक्त बरी चित्रंच काढता येतात म्हणून चित्रकलेत भाग घेणारा मी इकडे मात्र कविता, गाणं, वक्तृत्व इत्यादी महाविद्यालयीन, आंतरमहाविद्यालयीन स्पर्धा देखील जिंकू लागलो. आणि हे केवळ आणि केवळ माझ्या आदरणीय शिक्षकांच्या पाठिंब्यामुळे शक्य झाले. तो काळ, ती माणसं माझ्यासाठी मला आयुष्यभर पुरेल एवढी ज्ञानाची, प्रेमाची शिदोरी आहेत हे नक्की.

मी बारावी सायन्स ची विद्यार्थिनी होते पण माझा लिखाणाकडे कल असल्यामुळे मी कलाशाखेत मराठी विषय घेतला होता .  त्यामुळे अनेक साहित्यिक मला अभ्यासता आले. त्याचा मला माझ्या लिखाणामध्ये खूप फायदा झाला कारण पुस्तक वाचून आपलं स्वतःच त्याविषयी एक मत तयार होते. पण ते अभ्यासक्रमात साहित्य म्हणून शिकल्यामुळे शिक्षकांचे तसंच आपल्या सोबत असणाऱ्या इतर मित्र-मैत्रिणींचीही त्यावरची मत आपल्याला कळतात आणि आपण आपल्या एकाच चाकोरीतून बाहेर पडून सगळ्या गोष्टींकडे एका वेगळ्या दृष्टीने पाहतो. कॉलेजमध्ये अनेक स्पर्धा घेतल्या जातात. मी त्यात फार कधी भाग घेतला नाही कारण माझ्याकडे फार आत्मविश्वास नव्हता पण मला आठवतंय की स्नेहा आणि नीलांबरी मॅडमने माझ्यावर विश्वास दाखवत मला वक्तृत्व स्पर्धेत भाग घ्यायला लावला.मी त्या स्पर्धेत भाग घेतला आणि जिंकलेसुद्धा ! तो प्रसंग माझ्यासाठी नेहमीच स्मरणात राहिला कारण तो प्रसंग माझा आत्मविश्वास वाढवणारा होता. असे अनेक अनुभव आहेत ज्यांचा माझ्या जडणघडणीत वाटा आहे . शिक्षक विद्यार्थ्यांना घडवतात, असे म्हटले जाते. ते खरोखरच खरे आहे. कॉलेजने मला खूप छान मित्र-मैत्रिणी दिले.ज्यांच्यासोबत आजही मी संपर्कात आहे. आजही बाहेर कुठे विचारलं की तुम्ही कुठल्या कॉलेजमध्ये  शिकलात तर जेव्हा झुनझुनवाला कॉलेजच नाव घेते  तेव्हा लोक खूप आदराने बघतात. झुनझुनवाला कॉलेजमध्ये माझं महाविद्यालयीन शिक्षण पूर्ण झाल आहे हीच खरे तर माझ्यासाठी खूप अभिमानाची गोष्ट आहे.

मैं पूजा चौधरी, रामनिरंजन झुनझुनवाला महाविद्यालय से पोस्ट ग्रेजुएशन किया है। इस महाविद्यालय से मेरा अनुभव केवल दो साल ही था। किंतु, इस दो साल में  कॉलेज ने मुझे बहुत कुछ सिखाया। कई ऐसे विषयों तथा क्षेत्र से अवगत हुई जो मुझे नहीं पता थे। वैसे तो बाकी के विभागों से मेरा जुड़ाव नहीं था, मैं महाविद्यालय के हिंदी विभाग से जुड़ी थी इस महाविद्यालय के हिंदी विभाग ने मुझे मेरे जीवन में और भी सक्रिय होने की प्रेरणा दी है तथा महाविद्यालय की प्रधानाचार्या तो स्वयं हम सभी के लिए आदर्श रही हैं, जो हमेशा हमें महाविद्यालय की ओर से जितनी मदत हो सके करती हैं। इन दो सालों में मैंने कई बार कॉलेज के पुस्तकालय का उपयोग किया है, जहाँ जाकर मुझे बहुत सन्तुष्टि हुई है क्योंकि मुझे जिस पुस्तक की समय पर आवश्यकता थी वह आसानी से उपलब्ध हुई। हिंदी विषय को लेकर जीवन मे किस तरह आगे बढ़ा जा सकता है, इस विषय पर तो हिंदी विभाग के प्रोफेसरों ने हमारी बहुत मदत की है साथ ही, हिंदी को अध्ययन तथा अध्यापन हेतु महाविद्यालय के प्राध्यापकों द्वारा बहुत ही अच्छी प्रेरणा मिली है। इन दो वर्षों में मुझे कॉलेज से बहुत अनुभव और सीख मिली है, जिसे लेकर जीवन में एक सफल विद्यार्थी और मनुष्य बना जा सकता है। ऐसा मेरा अनुभव है।सीमित शब्द होने की वजह से मैं अपनी लेखनी को यहीं पूर्ण विराम देती हूं। मेरी इच्छा है कि एक सक्षम व्यक्ति बनकर मैं अपने महाविद्यालय के अच्छे कार्यों में अपना योगदान दे सकूँ।

           आज मैं मदर तेरेसा विद्यालय में हिंदी की अध्यापिका के रूप में कार्यरत हूं।और अपने गुरूजनों की प्रेरणा द्वारा मैं आज यह कार्य करने में सक्षम बन पाई हूँ।

मेरा अनुभव इस विद्यालय के साथ बहुत ही प्रभावशाली रहा। मैं इस राज्य में किसी शिक्षण संस्थान के साथ एक विद्यार्थी के रूप में पहली बार जुड़ी। किंतु,  महाविद्यालय के व्यवस्थापक, प्रधानाध्यापक, शिक्षक तथा अन्य सभी लोगों से इतना सहयोग प्राप्त हुआ कि लगा मैं सालों से यहां से जुड़ी हूं। मैं सबसे अधिक आभारी अपने शिक्षकों की हूं जिन्होंने पढ़ाई में मार्गदर्शन के साथ - साथ कैरियर के लिए भी हमें मार्गदर्शित और प्रेरित किया। उनके सुझावों को मानकर हम आज आगे बढ़ रहे हैं और आगे भी  उनके बताए मार्ग पर चलना चाहेंगे।

मैं अपने शिक्षकों तथा महाविद्यालय से जुड़े सभी लोगों को धन्यवाद देना चाहूंगी तथा महाविद्यालय से सदा जुड़ी रहना चाहूंगी।

सहयोग है, सानिध्य है, डांट है, फटकार है

ऐसा हमारा महाविद्यालय परिवार है

पुराने बरगद से भी बड़ा इसका आकार है

शिक्षकों के प्रति आदर, बच्चों के प्रति प्यार है

ऐसा हमारा महाविद्यालय परिवार है।

I became a part of RJ college in 2014 and stayed on for five long years. For these five years, I was under the doting guidance and care of several accomplished professors who were exceptionally kind to me. Whatever or wherever I am today or will be tomorrow, my dear professors, especially Neeta ma’am, Sharmila ma’am and Maria ma’am, the English department, and the best of friends I made here, will always have a major chunk of credit in it, and rightly so. Particularly the Master’s course (MA English Literature), whose considerate schedule encompassed people from diverse domains, from whom I could learn and imbibe so much, offering me a broader outlook towards English literature, life, and this phenomenal city.

It gives me great pleasure to say with pride that I have completed my MA from RJ College. The relationship between faculty and student is very cordial, which gave me an opportunity to excel in my studies. The two years spent here were splendid and has helped me to grow better professionally & personally. It becomes difficult to manage work and studies both, however it was due immense support from the RJ faculty and staff that without much obstacles I was able to complete my PG with flying colours.

It is rightly said, “You can plan for life, but life always has plans of its own.”

I had planned on doing my Masters through correspondence but I was taken by surprise when my mother enrolled me for the M.A Literature Course at RJ College. Had it not been for my mother’s insistence and support and the constant guidance of Maria Ma’am, I would have lost out on this beautiful journey at RJ College.

At the time, I was working at Campion School and travelling from South Bombay back to Ghatkopar was an agonising task. Yet, I was compelled to come to college every evening because of two main reasons – a diverse group of classmates and our fabulously learned professors.

Our professors like Neeta Ma’am, Maria Ma’am, Yogesh Sir, Shanti Ma’am, Udayan Sir, Rehana Ma’am and Sara Ma’am brought literature to life and engaged us in analytical discourse. I especially will never forget how professors like Yogesh Sir, who was so student-centric, selflessly shared his knowledge and constantly motivated us. Being a teacher myself, I know how students look up to us, model us and uphold the values that they admire in us and I must say that I look up to all my professors at RJ. I have been privileged indeed to have a wholesome experience at RJ College and I wouldn’t want to trade that for anything!

To begin with, I’d like to share a personal anecdote here.

It happens so that, since the time I graduated in 2007, I always wanted to complete my Masters in English and there was this academic void that I wanted to fill. For this reason, I had even taken admission not once but twice in the past. However,

I never felt confident to pursue the course. For every time I sat down to study there was so much that I couldn’t relate to. Finally, in 2019, my colleague Sneha, who had done her Masters from this college told me about the faculty and the course. It once again, sparked a ray of hope within me. And I once again decided to embark on this academic journey only to make my dream a reality this time!

I won’t lie, I was once again faced with doubts and the what ifs. What if I am not enough? What if I am too old to pursue a Masters degree at this age? What if I am too busy with my personal life? What if I am preoccupied with my profession? How will I give this the much deserved time and attention alongside everything else?! But all my doubts and nerves were put to rest when I met someone, someone I’d like to talk a bit more about in my next paragraph.

It is none other than Dr. Neeta, HOD of English Department. Had it not been for the kindness of Dr. Neeta and her faith in me, I don’t think I would have ever been able to be where I am today. From my personal growth as a student to following up for assignments, sessions, internal tests, assigning and marking presentation; I truly knew that there was always someone whom I could go to even at the 12th hour and have my queries resolved in the best possible manner.

If I were to be asked who I aspire to be more like, my answer would easily be Dr. Neeta and Maria ma'am. Despite being the Head of the Department, they have always been extremely humble, gentle and sensitive to my needs, which always meant so much to me. If everyone had even a fraction of the kindness, authenticity and active listening that they demonstrate, our world would be a much better place!

This degree course has made me stronger and given me the confidence that I had lost in myself. The deadlines for the assignments, to the rationale behind everything has helped me to become more professional and reflective.

The time spent watching the teachers, peers, H.O.Ds’ and even the admin staff who are always willing to help and support was enriching and fruitful. Although, some of the days and nights were very challenging, it also made me push my boundaries. I take pride in penning that it was an enthralling lifelong experience for I doubt I will ever find myself in such an enchanting and gripping experience again.

I am sure all my fellow peers would agree that we have learned more than we ever thought we would, especially during the COVID years. The entire MA faculty truly has left a lasting impact on us and we are so lucky to have had the honor of being your students.

“I completed my B.Sc. Mathematics in 2000 from RJ College. While everybody understands the value this educational degree holds, I want to throw light on the crucial interpersonal skills I acquired here. Everything from the course structure, to the general college environment, forced us to constantly get out of our comfort zones. The personal growth I experienced with that push is immeasurable. I firmly believe that a lot of personal and career growth would not have been possible without the support given by the teachers at RJ College. I cannot recall any doubt ever going unanswered. I owe a lot of my success to the skills and lessons that I acquired at RJC. Thank You RJ College for everything.”

I entered RJ College premises in 1989 on a wheelchair, as I had spinal cord injury since childhood. I enrolled as a student in FYJC Science and graduated with BSc Math in 1994. Most of my teenage life used to be at home or in hospital, my entry to college opened the windows to a totally different perspective of life and the world.

Every day I entered the college with some confusion and took home some clarity. Advice, guidance and blessings from my teachers and Principal to choose computer science, put the seed in me which sprouted and flourished through our department of Mathematics at RJ College.

All my teachers in the Dept. of Mathematics understood me, helped me, pushed me, and imbibed in me lots of confidence which helped me grow and travel across the world.

I will always be indebted to RJ College for moulding and guiding me in choosing my career.

Our teachers not only helped us to excel academically, but nurtured and nourished us with values and culture that transformed us into good human beings and responsible citizens of the global community. I started my corporate career 2 decades back and all teachers (Diwan Madam, Masuti Madam, Mary Madam & Indra sir) from our Maths department played vital role in shaping my career with their guidance and support. In fact, I got my first corporate job because of Indra sir & Masuti Madam. It would not have been possible for me to build my success without this college and my teachers who laid strong foundation for my success in both corporate world and personal life. I have immense gratitude towards R. J. College and all my teachers. Thank you and wishing department more success stories and abundance of growth in future.

Library and reading room facility provided by college is cherry on the cake for students like us who come from humble background and cannot study at home due to several reasons. I completed with graduation in the year 2016 but I never feel like I am not a part of RJ college now and I always visit college to meet Principal sir , our beloved director Dr.Usha mam, all othe professors and supporting staff.

Biotechnology Alumni (2005-2012)

I enrolled at RJ College in 2005 and was a student there for 7years. The reasons I am grateful for attending RJ College are endless as it helped me shape who I am today. During 5years of my UG & PG programme, I was able to build relationships with my professors, administration, and lab staff, and always had an adult that I felt I could trust to turn to in times of need. The faculty genuinely cares for each one of their students and wants to see them succeed not only academically, but in all areas of their lives. Many students face difficulties and challenges during their professional degree education years for numerous reasons, and having support and guidance through them is very important. The teachers are genuinely passionate about the subjects they are teaching and do their best to make their classes enjoyable and keep students engaged. Their enthusiastic teaching approach has given me a lasting interest in numerous subjects. They gave me a permanent love for Biotechnology, and sparked my lifelong curiosity about Research. They taught me an incredible amount of knowledge and skills that helped me in my corporate life. Our professors genuinely care about the success of each student, they not only care about students currently enrolled but the alumni as well. The best part about my success is I am proud Lecturer at the very college where I received my education. I was very nervous at the beginning working side by side with my teachers as their colleague; however, the level of comfort and warm welcome I received from my professors was very comforting and working with them as their counterpart has not only helped me go above and beyond my potential but has also made me a proud professional in education following the Educate, Empower and Engage strategy which has shaped my career which has resulted me in reaching for the skies. I am proud to be associated with the organization that shaped me 360 degrees and made me what I am today! Ex Mariconian, Ex Unileverite, Forever RJite. .

Jitesh Ghagh

History Alumni (2008-2011)

I was studying science until I realised my inclination and aptitude towards humanities. I switched my faculty and I'll forever be thankful to my Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala college that helped me do that. I majored in History in my final year B.A. Alongside my graduation I had signed up for a Diploma in tour management course at the Garware Institute, University of Mumbai, Kalina. I used to attend the course in the afternoons, after my senior college hours. After having completed my course in travel & tourism, I had begun internship on the excursion tours in Mumbai for guests sailing to the Mumbai port on cruiseliners from around the world. All of this was happening while my senior college was still on. Eventually I developed an affinity for foreign languages and signed up for a three years course in the Spanish language at the Mumbai University. While I was learning Spanish at the university, I was blessed with some exciting opportunities of conducting guided Mumbai city tours for guests travelling from Spain and Latin America. This work of mine indeed gave me a hands-on experience of spoken Spanish and helped me live my passion for the Spanish language and history on a whole. Later after having completed my graduation and Spanish course at the university, I joined in Veena World - which was a newly formed travel company at that time in the position of a sales executive. I eventually got opportunities in Veena World to switch departments and gain an overall experience of the travel industry - from Sales to Product and finally settling down in Marketing. Currently I work as a copywriter and content writer in the Marketing dept. working on the advertisement & promotions of our various products on the print and digital media, across various platforms. :

I will always be grateful to R J College for giving me multi dimensional learning by providing the apt mix of academics, exposure , attitude and leadership.The professors are all dedicated experts and helpful in their respective subjects specially Meher Madam and Anagha Madam. I am very grateful to both of them for providing guidelines and motivation to inspire me to achieve my goals and come out of the comfort zone. I have been an introvert and wouldn't even dare to speak in the classroom. Currently, I am working with NPCI where I need to interact with all the major and minor banks in India almost every day and I am able to do it with confidence because of the motivation provided by my professors during my academic years.

Hello there!

I'm Sahil Shaikh an Operations Analyst at Blenheim Chalcot

It feels so nostalgic to talk about my college days though giving you a synopsis I'll tell you before getting into RJ College I was very sceptical about the curriculum because it was a vocational course and I was not aware of the subjects

After attending few lectures and conversing with professors and batchmates I realised this is one of the best decisions I've ever made being an average introverted student who was never into academics came out to be one of the best in the league

They certainly worked on my communication skills and the practicalites one needs to get into the corporate along with theoretical and practical knowledge of whatnot

Cultural fests played a big role in my culmination of personality I was interacting with more than 50 colleges every college fest season managing the fests from my college and department learning about management and public relations

Lectures that we attended were really interactive and fun along with being super intellective our course was such a hybrid of practical and theoretical subjects which gave us a edge over other courses

I remember when I was entering my first year of Degree College, I was extremely excited but at the same time extremely nervous. Reflecting back on the whole experience now I would always be grateful to the B.VOC Department of Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala College for focusing on career enhancements along with overall skill development with the seamless mix of academics and extracurricular activities. Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala College is a place where you will learn a lot about yourself, you will gain good experience and you can grow your soft skills as well. Be the best student you can be, it is more rewarding than you think!

Botany Alumni (2003)

I have seen the entire department knowing the value of following their dreams, and even though I had high and different aspirations they all supported me all the way. They never discriminate students on the basis of their ranks the way I was exposed since my school days. They Accept you as you are and then encourage you to transform themself. I had the same motivation from them. They contributed to make me realise the value of education, the technique to approach any task in life...supporting me and my passion always even if it's nowhere connected to their subject...people say results speaks eg: S.S.C- 52%.H.S.C-42%...TY-BSc BOTANY- 72% (Self-explanatory). Personally thank to everyone.God bless you all.

I consider myself fortunate to be an RJ alumnus and to have had teachers from RJ Zoology who encouraged me to pursue a career in wildlife. It is impossible to express how much the teachers and entire staff helped me along the way as I transitioned from a BSc to an MSc. Student.  The teachers here are experts in recognising and transforming a stone into a diamond. In addition to my studies, volunteering in N.S.S activities and being a leader have helped me develop certain qualities in myself that would have been challenging to do otherwise. For where I am today, I sincerely thank all of my RJC teachers and support staff.

For the profession of SME, it is required for the candidate to have only the best of the knowledge in his/her own field and the process is even a herculean task. I took admission in RJ college for PG for the subject of Animal Physiology in 2019-20 and cleared masters in  2020-21, because I came with a purpose to do something valuable in the field. I’m glad that my 2 years of journey was really helpful in building a strong foundation for my career which landed me in edutech giant like Bartleby. I’m thankful for the experience, love, support and appreciation given by each and every professor from my class. I wouldn’t have been at this position in my life without the efforts of you all. Thank you very much!
