ACHIEVEMENTS & STUDENT PROJECTS
From Our Blog
What our students say
Anusree Saha, ex- student of Adamas University, School of Education (2018- 2020) is presently working in St.Augustine’s Day School Barrackpore, as a Social Science Teacher in Middle and Senior School. The ‘college phase’ is one of the most interesting stages in life that gives you an opportunity to explore. College allows all to dive deep into the ocean of new beginnings and possibilities when the teenage years’ end and college life begins. The golden period in college creates a strong foundation of knowledge and equips you for better all the challenges you will face in life.
The experience in Adamas University, is one of the fundamental pillars of my life. The experience I had, made me much more confident as a person than I was before. The School of Education was just like our next home. The faculty members are well-prepared in advance for their education goals. They prepare their plan of action every day to ensure maximum productivity. Professors have a lot of knowledge about everything, specifically in the subject they specialize in.
A good Professor expands their knowledge and continues to provide good answers to their students. All the members are just like a friend that helps us in all our troubles. They create their individual learning process which is unique and not mainstream. This helped us to learn the subject in a better manner.
In other words, a group of Faculty ensures that their students are learning efficiently and scoring good marks. Most importantly, here they not only merely focus on our academic performance but our overall development. Only then can a student truly grow. Thus, they understand their student’s problems and try to deal with them correctly. They make the student feel like they always have someone to talk to if they can’t do it at home or with their friends.
Adamas prepares you for all uncertain things like this. It is a beautiful and perfect blend of joy and hardships. You meet different people, interact with them, learn about their different cultures, and grow as a sensible human. One learns and understands how to talk to different people and judge their behaviour, thus helping you with important life skills.
Here all tried to cope up with the surprisingly strenuous syllabus and also got the opportunity to learn from some great minds and their researches. And later applying them, like academia, as they say, never lets you go free.
Once you get admitted in Adamas University and School of Education you do get the opportunity to be the artist you always wanted to be, probably through a fine arts campus group. You could be that vocalist, and you could be the dancer of your dreams, you could be that director – college is the Santa Claus that keeps on giving all these wonderful opportunities while you’re in it. There are also campuses festivals, which draw many fun crowds from other colleges and let you, show off your skills.
Every nook and corner of the college and specially our department is filled with people and will find a peaceful spot surrounded full with nature, whose value one realizes after they graduate from the campus. You will always remember the early morning foggy view, adorable moments with hostel “puppy,” or even your grumpy yet caring stationery shopkeeper.
There will be moments in your college days that will hold a lot of sentimental value, and people do miss those years later. The most important aspect of your college life is friendship one makes. Friends in college give you strength, and they are your knights in shining armour for all your life. The occasional adventure surges, planning road trips, and all the impulsive journeys—all of these things make more emotional when you bid adieu to your institution.
So, one fine day you’ll land up smiling silently as you see the pictures from the college of your friends and you having a good time. That’s the beauty of being in Adamas University. The life you spent stays with you long after you’ve climbed the ladders of success and also forgotten the name of that cute crush you used to drool over.
Hello every one, I’m Sukanya Ghosh, an ex-student of School of education, Adamas University. Currently working in Barrackpore Senate Public High School as Biology & Food and Nutrition teacher.

Our, School of Education, Adamas University, provides us with all kinds of facilities starting from hostel facility , transport facility, canteen facility, lab facility etc. We were in the final semester when the Pandemic occurred. However, we did not sit idle for a single day. The classes started in video mode and were usually taken through audio-visual aids. Even during this pandemic situation our classes were taken regularly and very smoothly through several different online platforms. Even our last-semester examination was conducted through online platform, and we got our result without any delay. Our School of Education frequently conducted several interactive sessions, seminars, presentations, that helped me a lot to develop my communicative skill and confidence level. Our School of Education also conducted different cultural programmes like Basant utsav, Death anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, Rakhi Bandhan Utsav etc. very beautifully by involving every trainee teachers These played a very significant role in a B.Ed course. My school internship was conducted in Barrackpore Girls’ High School for 3months, where one practically teaches students and you will get to know about your loopholes. Thus I have gained so much from the internship. So Adamas University, School of Education helped me a lot to become a better version of myself.
