Dear brother,
I feel very excited at the thought that in a week I shall be with you again on summer holidays. I am through with my exams and I am already a third-year student.
I had to work very hard to do well in my exams this year. The fact is that just a month after winter holidays I fell ill and missed many lectures. The material being very complicated, I could not have managed with my exams if I had not been given some consultations.
In some of my earlier letters I told you all about the other students of our group; well, I want to tell you a few words about Victor. He intends to work in the laboratory of a research Institute next year and take a correspondence course at our Institute. The fact is that extra-mural and evening education here has been making rapid advance. The program requirements of an extra-mural education are similar to those for regular ones, there being differences only in teaching procedure.
Extra-mural students do not have regular studies as we do, but they are provided with all kinds of assistance such as instructions, study guides, oral and written consultations, not to speak of special lectures.
According to the curriculum of the faculty an extra-mural student fulfils a certain number of written assignments in different subjects, such as history, maths, physics, chemistry, a foreign language, descriptive geometry, and does practical work. He has to hand in these written test works and drawings at various times. If the assignment is accepted by the teacher, the student is then entered for exams.
Extra-mural diplomas have the same value as those of regular institutes.
It is not easy to combine work and study, but much is done by the state here to help part-time students. They are granted from 10 to 40 days’ paid leave every year (depending on which year of the course they are in) to take examinations and tests, and for laboratory work. Another 30 days are given for state exams.
Besides that, they get four months’ paid leave to prepare their diploma work.
So, you see, it’s not so bad taking extra-mural course.
How are you all at home? I hope you are all keeping well. Raj, try to get your leave at the time I am home, we’ll have a good time.
Love and all good wishes,
Salil.
