Ajay M. K. (2021-24 Batch)-MSW, Central University of Kerala, Kasargode
My journey at MA College was truly transformative. As a student, I had the privilege of learning from exceptional mentors and faculties, including Dr. Diana Mathews, Dr. Akhila Johnson, and Dr. Mridula Venugopal. Their guidance and support helped me grow not only as a student but also as a person.The Sociology department's extracurricular activities, field visits, and emphasis on societal dynamics and peer interaction broadened my understanding of the subject. I was honored to serve as the main editor of the Department magazine, "The Mirror" (2023-2024), and thrilled to secure second place in the All-Kerala Sociology Quiz at CMS College, Kottayam. The faculty's teaching methods and friendly interactions played a significant role in my academic achievements. I topped the Kerala University Sociology (PG) entrance examination (2024), secured 4th position in the B.A. Sociology degree examination (Batch of 2021-2024), and scored above 200 in CUET PG Sociology, as well as achieving a good score in the MSW PG entrance test (2024). Through field visits, research activities, and academic pursuits, I developed a passion for learning about various societies, social issues, and institutions. The department's plethora of opportunities also helped me enhance my soft skills, which will facilitate my future research interests and employability. I'm grateful for the experience and look forward to applying my knowledge to make a positive impact.
